PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Arrangement for Filling Lubricators for the Wheels of Vehicles of
any Description.
I, BENJAMIN HANCOCK of 7 Old Street, Ashton-under-Lyne, in the County of
Lancashire, Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
A stud with a head at one end, and chased for a nut at the other.
This stud is fitted to the lubricator, through a hole, drilled in the centre of the
outside face of the lubricator, the head of the stud fitting against the outside face,
and the shank of the stud, projecting through, inside the lubricator.
A leather or rubber washer, is placed on the shank of the stud, under the head,
to form a joint between the head of the stud, and the outside face of the
lubricator.
A spring is placed over the shank, and is fastened on by a nut, thus fixing the
stud into the lubricator.
A slanting hole is drilled through the shank of the stud, breaking out under the
head at one end, and near the nut at the other end, thus when the stud is fixed in
the lubricator, one end of the hole, is in the hole that is drilled through the face
of the lubricator, and the other end is inside the lubricator.
The head of the stud is marked in such a way, that it will show, when the end
of the slanting hole, that is under the head is at the top; so that all that is
necessary to fill the lubricator, is to turn the mark to the top, then pull out the
stud until the hole appears.
The oil being poured down this hole, runs out at the
other end of the hole, which is inside the lubricator. As soon as sufficient oil has
been put in, release the stud, and the spring draws it back to its place, thus
covering the hole, and making a joint by means of the leather, or rubber washer.
This does away with all the necessity for taking off the lubricator, to fill it, or
moving the wheel, as the stud can be turned round always, to bring the hole at
the top.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Arrangement for Filling Lubricators for the Wheels of Vehicles of
any Description.
I, BENJAMIN HANCOCK of 7 Old Street, Ashton-under-Lyne in the County of
Lancashire Ironmonger, 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 stud A having a head at one end, and chased for the nut B at the other end.
This stud is fitted to the lubricator, through the hole C, drilled through the
centre of the outside face of the lubricator, the head of the stud fitting against
the outside face of the lubricator, and the shank projecting through inside.
A leather, or rubber washer D is placed on the shank of the stud, under the
head, to form a joint between the head of the stud and the outside face of the
lubricator.
A spring E is placed over the shank, and is fastened on by a screwed nut B thus
fixing the stud into the lubricator.

page_text: A slanting hole G is drilled through the stud shank, breaking out under the
head at one end, and near the nut B at the other end, thus, when the stud is fixed
in the lubricator, one end of the slanting hole is inside the hole C, and the other
end is inside the lubricator.
The head of the stud is marked in such a way, that it will show when the end of
the hole G, that is under the head, is at the top, so that all that is necessary to fill
the lubricator is to turn the mark to the top, then pull out the stud A until the
hole G appears. The oil being poured down this hole, runs inside the lubricator,
the other end of the hole being inside. As soon as the stud is released, the
spring E draws it back to its place, thus covering the holes C and G and making
a joint by means of the washer D. This does away with the necessity of taking
the lubricator off, for filling, the stud being held in by the spring, being free to
turn round to any position, to bring the hole G to the top.
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 I
claim is,
1. The stud A.
2. The slanting hole Gand
