Improvements in Lubricating Devices for Motor Cycles.
I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN, of the Firm of Herbert Haddan & Co., of 18, Buckingham
Street, Strand, W.C., Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, a
communication to me from abroad by CARL HEINLE AND HUGO WEGELIN, both of
9A, Schülesstrasse, Augsburg, in the Empire of Germany, Merchants, to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in motor cycles patented under
No. 7566 of 13th June 1896 by L. Rüb, Augsburg, and more particularly to the
means for automatically lubricating the cylinders or pistons of the motor with an
amount of oil proportional to the speed at which the motor is working.
The drawing filed herewith shows in Fig. 1 part of such a motor cycle with the
lubricating apparatus applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section
showing the oil reservoir fitted to the front end of the vessel which contains the
benzene from which the motive power is derived. Fig. 3 is a cross sectional
view on a larger scale of part of the lubricating apparatus, and Fig. 4 is a cross
section on line 4-4 of part of Fig. 3.
The oil receiver k is as shown in Fig. 2 fitted to the front end of the benzine
receiver between the latter and the steering head of the motor cycle. To the
under part of the oil receiver is fitted a tubular socket or chamber p having

be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in motor cycles patented under
No. 7566 of 13th June 1896 by L. Rüb, Augsburg and more particularly to the means
for automatically lubricating the cylinders or pistons of the motor with an amount of
oil proportional to the speed at which the motor is working.
The drawing filed with the Provisional Specification, shows in Fig. 1 part of suci. a
motor cycle with the lubricating apparatus applied thereto, Fig. 2 is a side elevation
partly in section showing the oil reservoir fitted to the front end of the vessel which
contains the benzene from which the motive power is derived. Fig. 3 is a cross
sectional view on a larger scale of part of the lubricating apparatus, and Fig. 4 is a
cross section on line 4-4 of part of Fig. 3.
The oil receiver k is as shown in Fig. 2 fitted to the front end of the benzine
receiver b between the latter and the steering head of the motor cycle. To the under
part of the oil receiver k is fitted a tubular socket or chamber p having communication
with the receiver k through two ports 8 8. In line with the two ports s & respectively,
that is to say in planes perpendicular to the axis of the chamber p, are two other
ports ss communicating respectively with pipes r leading the one into the one
cylinder f and the other into the other cylinder f of the motor. A rotary plug o fills
the chamber p and has in its periphery recesses o¹ o' in the same planes as the
ports s and s¹. On the projecting stem of the plug o is a worn wheel n with which
there gears a worm n¹ on a shaft n2 driven by bevelled gear n³ nt from the shaft 5
which is driven by spur gear non from the crank shaft n8 of the motor.

It will be obvious that as the motor works the plug o will be revolved through the
gear n n n n n³ n² n¹n at a speed proportional to that of the motor.
plug o revolves the oil entering the cavities o¹ o' through the ports ss will be carried
round and delivered through the ports s¹ 81 into the tubes and thus to the
cylinders ff of the motor.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
In the motor cycle as described in the Specification of Patent No. 7566 of 1896.
1. The combination of an oil receiver or oil chamber k with the benzine receiver b
so as to form a whole with a solid connection in the motor cycle frame (Figs. 1 and 2)
2. A lubricating device comprising a chamber p with ports s s s¹ s' fitted to the oi
chamber and in which chamber p a rotary plug o is fitted having recesses o o
adapted to receive oil from the oil chamber k and deliver it to the cylinders J
through tubes 1° r.
