or
Our invention relates firstly to lubricating such bearings of machinery as embrace
or surround rods or bars and in which bearings such rods or bars slide in a longi-
tudinal direction or to bearings which slide in a longitudinal direction upon rods
or bars which they surround or embrace and consists in applying to such bearings
aforesaid that material or substance known as "metalline" or "oilless carbonate "
any other compound or material of a similar character-This part of our invention
is illustrated by Figs 1. 2 and 3 of the accompanying drawing-In Fig: 1 a is a
rod or bar upon which the part 6 constituting a bearing slides in a longitudinal
direction parallel with the axis of the bar or rod a within the part b we form a
cavity the ends of which we provide with bushes c. c having screw threads formed
upon their circumferences which screw threads take into other screw threads
formed within the part b-The bushes c. c are provided with parts c¹ c¹ to which a
suitable key may be applied-Within the annular space around the rod or bar a
enclosed by the part b we insert the "metalline " or "oilless carbonate or other
compound or material of a similar character d and retain such "metalline "
"oilless carbonate or other compound or material of a similar character within
the said annular space by means of the bushes c. c. Fig: 2 and Fig: 3 of which
Fig: 2 is a side view partly in section and Fig: 3 a cross section taken on the
line A. B of Fig: 2 illustrate a method of applying our invention to bearings
which slide longitudinally upon square bars or rods-At e is the square bar or rod
upon which the part f slides longitudinally The part is provided with a cap g
secured thereto by means of bolts and nuts h-Within, the cap g and bearing fwe
form a cavity which surrounds the bar or rod e and within which cavity we place
the metalline " "oilless carbonate
or
or other compound or material of a similar
character such "metalline "oilless carbonate or other compound or material
of a similar character being prevented from escaping endwise from the cavity above
named by means of the projecting parts, k k. k. ke formed upon the bearing fand
cap g-Although in reference to Figs 2 and 3 we have referred to the rods or bars
as being of a square section it will be readily understood that our invention is
equally applicable to rods or bars of other sections
دو
"
"
"
In reference to Figs 1, 2 and 3 I have described the bearings as being slidden
upon the rods or bars but I would have it understood that the rods or bars may
be slidden within the bearings which may remain stationary
"
"
The "metalline " or oilless carbonate " or other compound or material of a
similar character employed in this class of bearings may either be in the form of a
powder or paste or we combine the said "metalline" oilless carbonate or
other compound or material of a similar character with vegetable or other fibre or
with metallic wires or threads or with a combination of metallic wires or threads
and vegetable or other fibre by weaving or otherwise so as to form such 'metalline'
oilless carbonate' or other compound or material of a similar character into sheets
bands or cords such sheets bands or cords being inserted within the previously
mentioned bearings and retained therein by means of bushes or caps or other
similar arrangements as above described or in any other convenient manner
'
The second part of our invention relates to lubricating axles shafts bearings and,

page_text: footsteps generally and collars and footsteps of spindles used in machinery for
preparing spinning and manufacturing cotton wool and other fibrous materials and
consists in forming grooves or slots within such shafts axles bearings collars and
footsteps in which grooves or slots we place "metalline "oilless carbonate or
other compound or material of a similar character

"
Figs 4 and 5 illustrate our invention as applied to shafts-Fig: 4 being an
elevation partly in section and Fig 5 a cross section on the line C. D of Fig: 4 Atl
is the shaft capable of being revolved within a bearing m. Within the shaft Z are
formed a series of grooves or slots which are parallel to the axis of the shaft
and within which grooves or slots we place the "metalline" "oilless carbonate or
other compound or material of a similar character n
32
"
"
In Figs 6 and 7 is shown another manner of applying our invention Fig: 6
being an elevation partly in section of a shaft and its bearing and Fig: 7 a cross
section taken on the line E. F of Fig: 6 At o is the shaft capable of being
revolved within the bearing p Within the shaft o we form grooves or slots which
grooves or slots are at an angle to the axis of the shaft o―The aforesaid grooves
or slots we charge with "metalline "oilless carbonate or other compound or
material of a similar character q-The aforesaid grooves or slots instead of being
formed as shown in Figs 6, and 7 may be placed at any desired angle to the axis
of the shaft-The "metalline "oilless carbonate or other compound or material
of a similar character placed within the grooves or slots formed in the shafts
aforesaid may be placed therein as a powder or paste and secured therein by
pressure or in any other convenient manner or the said "metalline "
"oilless
carbonate or other compound or material of a similar character may be formed
into sheets bands or cords as hereinbefore described and may be secured in the
grooves or slots formed within the aforesaid shafts in any convenient manner
"
"
"
"
"
A further method of carrying out our invention is shown by Figs 8 and 9.
Fig 8 being an elevation partly in section of a shaft and its bearing and Fig: 9 a
cross section taken on the line G. H of Fig 8 At is a shaft carried by the
bearings provided with steps t. t. within which the shaft r is capable of being
rotated Within the steps t. t. are grooves or slots formed parallel to the axis of
the shaft r. Within the aforesaid grooves or slots we place " metalline " "oilless
carbonate or other compound or material of a similar character u such "metalline
"oilless carbonate " or other compound or material of a similar character may be
placed therein as a powder or paste or previously to being placed therein may be
formed into sheets bands or cords as previously described and may be secured in
the aforesaid grooves or slots by pressure or in any other convenient manner The
grooves or slots aforesaid do not extend the entire width of the steps t so that the
ends of such grooves or slots prevent the "metalline" "oilless carbonate"
or other
compound or material of a similar character from escaping endwise from the
aforesaid grooves or slots In place of forming the grooves or slots containing the
"metalline" "oilless carbonate" or other compound or material of a similar
character, in the bearing or step parallel to the axis of the shaft they may be
placed in planes at right angles thereto as shown in Figs 10 and 11. Fig: 10
being a side view and Fig: 11 a cross section taken on the line J. K of Fig: 10
in which figures is the shaft w the bearing and xx the grooves or slots-In
Figs 12 and 13 is shown another arrangement in which the grooves or slots y
formed in the step or bearing z for containing the "metalline" "oilless carbonate
or other compound or material of a similar character are placed at an angle to the
axis of the shaft 1
:
33
In Figs 14 and 15 is shown a modification of the arrangement previously
described In this instance a single groove or slot 2 is employed to receive and
retain the "metalline" " oilless carbonate" or other compound or material of a
similar character within the bearing 3 such groove or slot 2 being arranged in the
form of a screw- -The groove or slot 2 does not extend the entire length of the
bearing 3 so that the ends of such groove or slot 2 prevent the " metalline" "oilless
carbonate or other compound or material of a similar character from escaping
"

page_text: *
23
from the bearing endwise. "The " metalline " oilless carbonate or other com-
pound or material of a similar character is placed and retained within the groove
or slot 2 in any convenient manner.
"
"
"
Figs. 16 and 17 show our invention as applied to the foot step of a shaft—Within
the footstep 4 we form grooves or slots within which the "metalline" "oilless
carbonate or other compound or material of a similar character 5 is placed and
retained in any convenient manner-The grooves or slots in the foot step 4 around
the circumference of the shaft 6 may be formed parallel with or at any angle to
the axis of such shaft 6. The grooves or slots formed in the end of the foot step 4
to receive the "metalline ""oilless carbonate or other compound or material of a
similar character 7 may be formed radial as shown or in any other convenient or
desired form The grooves or slots for containing the metalline" "oilless car-
bonate or other compound or material of a similar character instead of being
formed in the footstep may be formed in the shaft when desired-Fig: 18 illustrates
one method of applying our invention to the collars and footsteps of spindles used
in machinery for preparing spinning and manufacturing cotton wool and other
fibrous materials At 8 is a spindle supported by a collar 9 and foot step 10 within
the collar 9 and footstep 10 we form grooves or slots 11, 12 respectively, each of
such grooves or slots 11. 12 being in the form of a screw-These grooves or slots
11. 12 we charge with "metalline "oilless carbonate " or other compound or
material of a similar character in any convenient manner. Although I have
described the grooves or slots 11. 12 as being each in the form of a screw I would
have it understood that such grooves or slots may be formed parallel to the axis
of the spindle 8 or as rings at right angles thereto or in any other convenient
manner.

Our invention consists thirdly in lubricating when convenient and practicable
certain parts of machinery such as for instance the pickers used in looms for
weaving by impregnating their substance or incorporating therewith the "metalline"
"oilless carbonate or other compound or material of a similar character above
referred to
"
The following is one method in which we impregnate the pickers used in looms for
weaving with the "metalline" "oilless carbonate" or other compound or material,
of a similar character At 13 in figs: 19 and 20 is a spindle the upper part 13×
of which is formed with a series of undulations or bends, the spindle 13 is caused
to revolve by any convenient means we then coat the surface of the spindle 13
with metalline ""oilless carbonate or other compound or material of a similar
character in an adhesive form or mixed with an adhesive material-We then take
the picker 14 to be operated upon and press it on to the spindle 13 the revolution
of which forces the "metalline "oilless carbonate or other compound or
material of a similar character into the substance of the picker 14 as indicated by
the thickened lines 15-We repeat the operation above described as often as is
requisite to charge the picker with the desired amount of " metalline ""oilless
carbonate or other compound or material of a similar character
"
"
In some instances we find it advantageous to protect. the part of the picker
which slides upon the spindle rod or guide when such picker is in use by means of
metal washers or plates as shown in Figs 21 and 22 of which Fig: 21 is a side
view of a picker partly in section and Fig: 22 an end view thereof At 16. 17 are
the apertures through which, the spindle rod or guide upon which such picker is
slidden when in use, is passed-Upon the outer ends of such apertures 16, 17, we
place metal plates or washers 18. 19 respectively which we secure to the picker by
means of nails or pins 20-The plates 18. 19 tend to retain the "metalline
"oilless carbonate or other compound or material of a similar character within
the substance of the picker aforesaid.
"
"
I would have it understood that we do not confine ourselves to the particular
method above described for incorporating with or impregnating the substance of
pickers used in looms for weaving and such other parts of machinery as are of a
similar character with "metalline oilless carbonate " or other compound or
"
