Complete Specification Left, 3'st Jan., 18:6-Accepted, 7th Mar.. 1896
A communication by WILHELM HONEGGER and ARTHUR MAILER, both of the
Prag-Holleschowitzer Baumwollspinnerei, of Prague-Holleschowitz, in the
Empire of Austria, Cotton Spinners.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON F.C.S., M.L.M.E., of The Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool. and 6, Bank Street,.-
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster 118 New Street, Birmingham in the
County of Warwick, and 31 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex Civil
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The oilers or oiling cans hitherto employed in cotton spinning mills and the like
establishments had the drawback that their outwardly curved spouts or nozzles
gradually tapered to the point, and ended in a narrow hole precisely suited to the
exact quantity of oil necessary for the lubrication. If by carelessness or other
accident or by evil intention, this end he broken off, the oiling can discharges an
undesirable proportionately larger quantity of lubricant in consequence of the larger
size of the opening, which causes a great consumption, and fouls the parts of the
machinery by the surplus oil dropping down.
The oiler, which forms the object of this Application avoids these drawbacks..
It consists of an ordinary oiling can, in the neck of which a metal sheath or holder
is screwed. In this holder, an insertion is firmly screwed which is shaped like a
wing nut, and ends in a strong tube, provided with a narrow bore exactly
proportioned to allow a given quantity of lubricant to pass through it.
The ordinary lubricating spout or nozzle is then tightly fitted over this tube..
The advantage of this arrangement is self evident. Should the point of the spout
be broken off, the quantity of oil dropping therefrom still remains constant as its.
flow is merely determined by the calibre of the tube on which it is fitted.

following statement :-

larger size of the opening, which causes a great consumption, and fouls the parts of
the machinery by the surplus oil dropping down.
The oiler which forms the object of this Application and is shown in elevation,
partly in section in the accompanying drawing, avoids these drawbacks. It consists
of an ordinary oiling can A in the neck of which a metal sheath B or holder is
screwed. In this holder B an insertion C is firmly screwed which is shaped like a
wing nut, and ends in a strong tube D, provided with a narrow bore a exactly
proportioned to allow a given quantity of lubricant to pass through it.
The ordinary lubricating spout or nozzle E is then tightly fitted over this
tube D. The advantage of this arrangement is self evident. Should the point of
the spout E be broken off, the quantity of oil dropping therefrom still remains
constant as its flow is merely determined by the calibre of the tube D on which it
is fitted.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
An improved oiler or oiling can characterised by the insertion of a strong
intermediate piece such as C between the oil container (A) and the spout or
nozzle (E), said intermediate piece (C) being bored and proportioned to only allow
a given quantity of lubricant to pass through it, so that any enlargement of the
mouth of the spout (E) has no effects or action on the quantity of lubricant
delivered, substantially as described.
