Patent Offices, 24, Rue du Mont Thabor, Paris, in the Empire of
France, and 88, Porchester Terrace, Bayswater, in the County of

APPARAUTS FOR LUBRICATING MACHINERY." -A communication from
Tosenb Bouillon residing at Lyons, in the Empire of France.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION filed by the said Henri Adrien Bonneville at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition and
Declaration, on the 23rd September 1865, pursuant to the 9th Section

5. TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, HENRI
ADRIEN BONNEVILLE, of the British and Foreign Patent Offices, 24, Rue du
Mont Thabor, Paris, in the Empire of France, and 38, Porchester Terrace,
Bayswater, in the County of Middlesex, Patent Agent, send greeting...
WHEREAS I am in possession of an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
O APPARATUS FOR LUBRICATING MACHINERY," Communicated to me by Joseph
Bouillon, a person residing at Lyons, in the Empire of France, aforesaid, and
have petitioned Her Majesty to grant unto me, my executors, administrators,
and assigns, Her Royal Letters Patent for the same, and have made solemu
Declaration that it is a communication.

page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, do hereby
declare that the following Complete Specification under my hand and seal
fully describes and ascertains the nature of the Invention, and the manner
in which the same is to be performed, reference being had to. the accompanying
Drawing, that is to say :—
This Invention consists in an improved continuously acting lubricator
applicable to the cylinders and slide valves of steam engines, and which may
be used with any kind of lubricating matter. The accompanying Drawing
represents this apparatus in elevation.
A is a tap which places the oil contained in the reservoir of the lubricator
in communication with the cylinder or the slide valve; B is a purge tap
serving for the delivery of the water formed by the condensation of the steam;
C is a tube which when the lubricator cannot be placed on the cylinder or
slide valve serves for replacing the tap A and the tube E (to be hereafter
described), that is to say, it is a lengthening tube placed at the top of the
lubricator and communicating with the cylinder or slide valve; D, tap through
which oil or grease is supplied to the reservoir; E, tube placed at the centre
of the lubricator and rising to about two-thirds of its height. Its upper end
is open for the passage of the oil which falls into the cylinder or valve, being
elevated and forced through by the steam which leaving the cylinder or valve
becomes condensed in the lubricator; F is a level or index tube which
communicating at both ends with the reservoir shows the quantity of oil
which it contains this tube should of course be transparent. Any suitable
form and dimensions may be given to this apparatus according to the use for
which it is intended.
;
Having thus described the nature of the said improvements in apparatus
for lubricating machinery, communicated to me, what I claim is, the novel
arrangement of the different parts of the said apparatus, and particularly the
use of the tubes E and F in connection with lubricators for cylinders and slide
valves of steam engines as above described and represented in the accompany-
ing Drawings.
In witness whereof I, the said Henri Adrien Bonneville, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Ninth day of September, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-five.
H. BONNEVILLE. (L.B.)
