PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Lubricators for Velocipedes and the like.
I, HARRY LUCAS, of the Tom Bowling Lamp Works, Little King Street, Birming-
ham in the County of Warwickshire, Lamp Manufacturer, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows :-
My invention relates to a lubricator for use on Velocipedes and like machines and
it has for its object, the security of the cap, with perfect freedom of removal for the
purpose of admitting the lubricant, I attain this object in the following manner.
take a lubricator of any desired shape and size and I fit it with a cap-preferably a
deep Banged spring cap-though a screw cap may be used if desired. I connect this
cap with the body of the lubricator by means of a central pin or its equivalent attached
to the interior of the cap and passing down through an aperture in a cross bar in the
lubricator. The pin terminates in a head which-while allowing the cap to be
sufficiently removed from the lubricator to introduce the lubricant-prevents its
absolute removal therefrom thereby ensuring its security from loss. Instead of a pin
a short length of chain or other flexible material may be used.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Lubricators for Velocipedes and the like.
I, HARRY LUCAS, of the Tom Bowling Lamp Works, Little King Street, Birining-
ham, in the County of Warwickshire Lamp Manufacturer, 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 :-
My invention relates to a lubricator for use on velocipedes and like machines and it
has for its object, the security of the cap, with perfect freedom of removal for the
purpose of admitting the lubricant. I attain this object in the manner illustrated in
the accompanying drawing in which Figures 1. and 2. are views in sectional elevation
of one method of carrying my invention into practical effect, Figures 3 and 4 and
Figures 5 and 6 are views in sectional elevation showing modification's thereof.
Figure 7. is a view in elevation of the lubricator and Figure 8 is a view in plan of
the lubricator illustrated by Figures 3. 4. 5 and 6 with the cap removed.
of
Throughout the several views similar parts are marked with like letters of reference.
Referring to Figures 1. and 2. of the accompanying drawing I take a lubricator A
any desired shape and size and I fit it with a cap B, preferably a deep flanged
spring cap, though a screw cap may be used if desired. I connect this cap with the
body of the lubricator by means of a central pin b. or its equivalent attached to the
interior of the cap and passing down through an aperture formed between two cross
bars a. a or through an aperture in one cross bar in the lubricator. The pin b
terminates in a head which-while allowing the cap B to be sufficiently removed
from the lubricator to introduce the lubricant, as illustrated by Figure 2, prevents
its absolute removal therefrom thereby ensuring its security from loss. Instead
of the pin b. and two cross bars a u, a loop b and a single cross bar a may be used as
illustrated by Figures 3, 4 and 8, and as a further modification a length of chain b
may be substituted for the loop b. as illustrated by Figures 5 and 6.

page_text: In case a screw cap is used the loop or chain b. as illustrated by Figures 3, 4. 5.
and 6. is connected to the cap by a swivel or its equivalent to adinit of the rotation of
the cap with respect to the lubricator.
I wish it to be understood that I do not limit myself to the exact details of con-
struction hereinbefore described and illustrated by the accompanying drawing but hold
myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit
and scope of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is :-
1st. The improvement in Inbricators as set forth.
2nd. In a lubricator, attaching the cap to the cup or body of the lubricator by
means of a link or its equivalent, so that the cap may be removed, or partially reinoved,
for the purpose of filling the lubricator as set forth.
3rd. In a lubricator, the combination with the cup or body A, of the cap B, the pin,
loop, or its equivalent b. attached to the cap B, and the cross bar or bars a fixed to or
forming part of the cup or body of the lubricator A, all combined, arranged, and
operating, as and for the purpose set forth.
