Feeders Used for Oiling Machinery and for other Purposes.
We ROBERT RAMSEY, Engineer of East Howle Colliery, Ferryhill and BENJAMIN
WRIGHT, Engineer, of Middleton, West Hartlepool both in the County of Durham
do hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CON-
STRUCTION OF WHAT ARE KNOWN AS OIL FEEDERS, USED FOR OILING MACHINERY
AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES to be as follows:-
A vessel of any suitable size or shape is made of Tin, Brass, Copper or any other
suitable material, as illustrated by the accompanying drawing, which represents a
vessel of ordinary shape, partly in section, that is, with part of the side removed so as
to show the internal arrangements :-A, represents a Valve, fitted into a chamber B.
and held in position by a spiral spring, C; the end of the chamber opposite the
Valve, A, is made to fix on to the other portion of the chamber either by means of a
screw or may be rivetted or soldered or fixed by any suitable means, and is arranged
so as to press slightly against the spring, C, which in turn presses against the
Valve, A, and keeps it in its seat so as to prevent the passage of oil or other liquid
that may be contained in the vessel.
A wire, E, is arranged, through the interior of the vessel, with a thumbpiece, D,
and so that when pressure is applied to the wire at the thumbpiece, the wire is forced
downwards and against the inner end of the Valve, A, by which means the Valve is
lifted or forced back against the spring, C, causing an aperture or outlet between the
Valve and it's seat in the chamber, which on the vessel being held in proper position
will allow the liquid contained in the vessel to make its egress by gravitation; in
other words, will admit of the liquid being poured through the spout, out of the
vessel. The pressure being removed from the wire at the thumbpiece, the Valve, A,
by means of the spring, C, is forced back into its original position, as already
described, closing the outlet.
The chief feature of our invention is, the Valve, its simplicity, and accessibility by
means of the Chamber, B, being fitted in two parts.

We, ROBERT RAMSEY, Engineer, of East Howle Colliery, Ferryhill, and BENJAMIN
WR RIGHT, Engineer of Middleton, West Hartlepool, both in the County of Durham,
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 :-
Vessels of any suitable size or shape are made of Tin, Brass, Copper or any other
suitable material, as illustrated by the drawings supplied with the Provisional
Specification, which represents a vessel of ordinary shape, partly in section, that is,
with part of the side removed so as to show the internal arrangements
A represents a Valve fitted into a Chamber B, and held in position by a spiral
spring C, the end of the Chamber opposite the Valve, A, is made to fix on to the
other portion of the Chamber either by means of a screw, or may be rivetted or
soldered or fixed by any suitable means, and is arranged so as to press slightly
against the spring, C, which in turn presses against the Valve, A, and keeps it in its
seat so as to prevent the passage of Oil or other liquid that may be contained in the
vessel.
A wire, E, is arranged through the interior of the vessel, with a thumbpiece, D,
and so that when pressure is applied to the wire at the thumbpiece, the wire is forced
downwards and against the inner end of the Valve, A, by which means the Valve is
lifted or forced back against the spring, C, causing an aperture or outlet between the
Valve and its seat in the Chamber, which on the vessel being held in proper position
will allow the liquid contained in the vessel to make its egress by gravitation; in other
words, will admit of the liquid being poured through the spout, out of the vessel. The
pressure being removed from the wire at the thumbpiece, the Valve, A, by means of
the spring, C, is forced back into its original position, as already described, closing the
outlet.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
1. The construction of the Valve, the spring of which is fitted on the outside of the
Valve instead of inside the vessel as is usually the case.
2. The accessibility of the working parts, the Valve Chamber, B, being fitted in
two parts and the spring fitted on the outside of the Valve as described in Claim No. 1,
affording complete access by unscrewing or detaching the two parts of the
Chamber,
B.
