Improvements in Lubricators.
I, HARRY LUCAS, of Tom Bowling Lamp Works, Little King Street, in the
City of Birmingham, Lamp Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to improvements in lubricators and is especially applicable
to the oil cups or lubricators employed for attachment to cycles and to small
machine parts.
The object of my invention is to so construct a lubricator that the lid or cover
may be more readily and conveniently hinged thereto, than with the lubricators
of the usual construction at present in ordinary use.
In carrying my invention into effect 1 form the lubricator from brass or other
metal, with its lower end screwed for attachment to a cycle or other machine. A
hole is formed throughout the lubricator, the upper end being enlarged to serve as
a receiver or reservoir for the oil or the lubricant. The exterior of the upper end
or the body of the lubricator, is turned or cut down in such a manner that a bead
or shoulder is formed at its extrenity, such bead or shoulder being suitably
rounded to allow of the free working of the hinged lid or cover. Immediately
under the bead or shoulder I pierce a slot through the body of the lubricator to
admit the hinge piece of the lid or cover, which is passed through the slot and
closed on to the bead in order to form the hinge on which the cover may be turned
as required for opening or closing the lubricator. The cover is prevented from
opening during the running of the machine preferably by means of a spring which
may be attached either to the cap itself or to the body of the lubricator.
I do not limit the application of my invention to the construction of lubricators
of any particular type or pattern but apply it to lubricators or oil cup for attachment
to various machine parts, and having modified forms to suit the requirements of
special services.

1, HARRY LUCAS, of Tom Bowling Lamp Works, Little King Street, in the
City of Birmingham, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in lubricators and is especially applicable
to the oil cups or lubricators employed for attachment to cycles and to small
machinu narto

Figure is a front elevation, and Figure 2 a sectional elevation representing one
convenient form of my improved lubricator.
Figure 3 is a front elevation of the rap, lid, or cover, detached from the
lubricator.
Figure 4 is a plan of the complete lubricator with cap.
Figure 5 is a plan of the lubricator with cap removed.
Figure 6 is a front elevation and Figure 7 a sectional elevation representing a
modified form of my lubricator.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parts.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the lubricator from brass or other
metal, with its lower end A screwed for attachment to a cycle or other machine.
A hole is formed throughout the lubricator, the upper end B being enlarged to
serve as a receiver or reservoir for the oil or the lubricant. The exterior of the
upper end of the body of the lubricator, is turned or cut down in such a manner
that a solid bead or shoulder C is formed at its extremity, such bead or shoulder
being suitably rounded to form a pivot permitting of the free working of the hinged
lid or cover attached thereto as hereinafter described.
Immediately under the bead or shoulder C pierce a slot D through the metal
forming the body of the lubricator to admit the hinge piece E of the cap, lid, or
cover, such cap being passed through the slot and closed on to pivot formed by the
bead C, thus providing a suitable hinge on which the cover may be freely turned
as required for opening or closing the lubricator. The cover is prevented from
opening during the running of the machine preferably by means of a spring such
as F, although I sometimes attach the spring to the body of the lubricator instead
of to the cap.
I do not limit the application of my invention to the construction of lubricators

of any particular type or pattern but apply it to lubricators or
for

attachment to various machine parts, and having modified forms to suit the
requirements of special services.
my
said
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The improved lubricator or oil cup having a solid bead or shoulder formed
at its upper end for the attachment of the cap, lid, or cover, substantially as
described.
2. The construction of a lubricator or oil cup having its body turned down to
form a solid bead or shoulder at the upper end with a slot or aperture pierced
through the metal immediately beneath such bead or shoulder to admit the hinge
piece of the cap, lid, or cover, substantially as hereinbefore described and as
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
