PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Lubricators.
I, ALFRED PERROLLAZ of 38 Rue Pierre Corneille, Lyons, in the Republic
of France, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The subject of this application is an improved lubricating device for steam, gas,
petroleum, hot air and other engines, which I propose to call "accumulator oil
injector."
This device mainly consists of a reservoir adapted to receive the oil or liquid
lubricant through its lower portion and to deliver it through its upper portion where
it mixes with the steam or hot gases serving to operate the engine and surrounding
the reservoir on all sides.
In one arrangement of the lubricator the, liquid lubricant is continuously or
otherwise supplied from any suitable reservoir connected to the upper part of a
tube provided with a cock or valve and extending down to near the bottom of the
reservoir. The lubricant then gradually escapes through apertures provided for
the purpose in the upper part of the reservoir where it mixes with the steam or hot
gases employed for driving the engine and filling up a space or jacket surrounding
the reservoir. The lubrication is by this means effected in a perfectly continuous,
efficacious and economical manner. The supply of oil from the lubricator
may be adjusted by closing one or more of the apertures at the upper part of the
reservoir.
As before stated the liquid lubricant may be derived from a suitable feed-
reservoir through a cock, and this cock may be provided with a hollow plug
adapted to contain oil or other lubricant. This cock may be integral with the
lubricating device or fitted thereto in any convenient manner. The shape and con-
struction of the cock are immaterial so long as it may be readily connected both
with the lubricator and the feed reservoirs.
The lubricator may receive the lubricant from a "sight-feed" device.
I would here point out that the size and arrangement of the various parts of this
lubricator may be varied at will providing that the following two essential conditions
are fulfilled.
(1) The reservoir should be situated within a closed chamber filled with steam or
hot gases employed for driving the engine; and
(2) The reservoir should receive the lubricating liquid at or near its lower part
and allow it to escape through its upper part.
There may be more than one such reservoir in the same apparatus and the inner
tube may be arranged either within or outside of each reservoir providing its outlet
connects with the lower part of said reservoir.

Improvements in Lubricators.
1, ALFRED PERROLLAZ of 38 Rue Pierre Corneille, Lyons, in the Rupublic
of France, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
The subject of this application is an improved lubricating device for steam, gas,

page_text: petroleum, hot air, and other engines, which I propose to call "accumulator oil
injector."
This device mainly consists of a reservoir adapted to receive the oil or liquid
lubricant through its lower portion and to deliver it through its upper portion where
it comes in contact with the steam or hot gases evolved by the engine, and
surrounding the reservoir on all sides. In the accompanying drawings Fig. I
shows one form of this improved lubricating device which propose adopting
in preference to the other types. In one arrangement of the lubricator the liquid
lubricant is continuously or otherwise supplied from any suitable reservoir con-
nected to the upper part of a tube T provided with a cock or valve, and extending
down to near the bottom of the reservoir G. The lubricant then gradually escapes
through apertures O provided for the purpose in the upper part of the reservoir G.
where it mixes with the steam or hot gases generated by the engine filling up a
space or jacket E surrounding the reservoir G. The lubrication is by this means
effected in a continnous, efficacious, and economical manner. The supply of oil
from the lubricator may be adjusted by closing one or more of the apertures O.
As before stated the liquid lubricant may be derived from a suitable feed-
reservoir through a cock. Fig. 2 shows by way of example, lubricator such as in
Fig. 1 in the upper part of which is arranged an ordinary cock with a hollow
plug D containing oil or other lubricant. This cock may be integral with the
lubricating device or fitted thereto in any convenient manner. The shape and
construction of the cock are immaterial so long as it may be readily connected both
with the lubricator and the external air.
Fig. 3 is substantially the same lubricator as the one shown in Fig. 1, but is
adapted to receive the lubricant from a "sight-feed" device B.
I would here point out that the size and arrangement of the various parts of this
lubricator may be varied at will providing that the following two essential conditions
are fulfilled.
(1) The reservoir G should be situated within a closed chamber filled with steam
or hot gases generated by the engine, and
(2) The reservoir G should receive the lubricating liquid at or near its lower
part and allow it to escape through its upper part.
There may be more than one such reservoir G in the same apparatus and the
inner tube T may be arranged either within or outside of each reservoir G,
providing its outlet connects with the lower part of the said reservoir.
This lubricator is adapted for use in conjunction with other lubricating devices
of any construction.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,―
A lubricator for steam gas petroleum hot air and other engines mainly
characterized by a cup or receiver arranged within a chamber filled with the
steam or hot gases of the motor which cup receives the lubricating liquid at the
lower part and allows it to escape into the surrounding steam or hot gases through
perforations provided in any suitable numbers in the upper part of the said cup
substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
