page_text: I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN, of 67, Strand, in the County of Middlesex, Civil
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention a communication to me
from abroad by Moritz Lindner, of Menselwitz, Germany, Manufacturer, to be as
follows:-
These improvements relate to lubricating journals or boxes and have for their
object devices for introducing the grease into the grease channels.
.
The journal is provided with a grease box which bears in its centre a pivot
connected with the wall of the box by a partition. Inside of the chamber a
pressing plate is secured to the journal cover which plate serves to press the
grease into a grease hole. For this purpose the cover is slightly lifted and turned
by means of a screw. By this turning the grease is compressed and expelled
through the hole. The pressing plate may also be made elastic, so as to produce a
successive and continuous pressure on the grease.
The grease box is adapted to be put on horizontally or vertically and a stationary
pressing plate may be applied to a revolvable grease box.
When the grease device is applied to a carriage wheel the nave is made with
three or less chambers and a revolvable cover adapted to be suitably guided and
stopped, is provided with three pressing plates which likewise press the grease
through openings. The whole contrivance can be arranged for various purposes
by suitable constructive alteration of the arrangement of the parts.
The grease box may also be furnished with contrivances by means of which the
grease is successively and mechanically pressed into the grease channel by special
devices. In all contrivances, the essential principle is the arrangement of a plate,
which is moved, or round which the grease box revolves, whereby the grease is
pressed into the grease channel.
The pressing plate can be connected with the cover and made to revolve with it
on a pivot and a successive revolving motion effected by a spring. For regulating

page_text: the pressure of the spring a rim, provided with recesses is arranged in which rim
the end of the spring can be fixed according to the intended tension, or the grease
box can revolve with the wall round a pivot by means of a spring band, the end of
which is supplied with adjusting holes for stretching more or less the spring.
Sometimes the grease box is arranged with its axis parallel to the axis of the
axle. The driving plate is moved by means of the cover carrying a cord and
groove. The cord being connected with a weight acting on the plate when the
axle is rotating, while the axle being in rest, only a very little pressure is
effected.

page_text: I, HERBERT JOHN HADDAN of 67 Strand in the County of Middlesex, Civil
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention, a communication to me
from abroad by Moritz Lindner of Menselwitz, Germany, Manufacturer and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
These improvements relate to lubricating journals or boxes and have for their
object devices for introducing the grease into the grease-channels.
In the following description, reference will be made to the annexed drawings
Figs. 1 to 35.
.
The journal Figs. 1. to 3, is provided with a grease box A, which bears in its
centre a pivot a, connected with the wall of the box by a partition b. Inside of
the chamber, a pressing plate d is secured to the cover B, which plate serves to
press the grease into a grease hole e. For this purpose the cover is slightly lifted
and turned by means of a screw f. By this turning the grease is compressed and
expelled through the hole e. The pressing plate d may also be made elastic so as
to produce a successive and continuous pressure on the grease.
The grease box is adapted to be put on horizontally Figs. and 5, or vertically,
Figs. 6, 7 and 8, and a stationary pressing plate d may bo applied to a revoluble
grease box, Figs. 9 and 10.
When the grease device is applied to a carriage wheel, the nave, Figs. 11 to 15
is made with three or less chambers and a revoluble cover B, adapted to be
suitably guided and stopped, is provided with three pressing plates d, which
likewise press the grease through openings e. The whole contrivance can be
arranged for various purposes by suitable constructive alteration of the arrangement
of the parts.
The grease box may also be furnished with contrivances shown by Figs. 16 to 35,
by means of which the grease is successively and mechanically pressed into the
grease channel by special devices.
In all contrivances the essential principle is the arrangement of a plate, which is
moved, or round which the grease-box revolves, whereby the grease is pressed into
the grease channel.
As shown by Figs. 16 to 19, the pressing plate d can be connected with the
cover and made to revolve with it on a pivot f and a successive revolving motion
effected by a spring h. For regulating the pressure of the spring, a rim, provided
with recesses k, is arranged (Figs. 20 and 21), in which the end of the spring / can
be fixed according to the intended tension.
l
Or the grease box A can revolve with the wall b round a pivot a by means of a
spring band 2, the end of which is supplied with adjusting holes (1 for stretching
more or less the spring (Figs. 22 and 23). In Figs. 24 and 20 two covers Ď
and D¹ are used, between which lies the spring 1, which causes the revolution of
the cover D', provided below with the driving plate d. The tension of the spring
is regulated by displacing the upper cover D, provided with teeth m.

page_text: Figs. 27 to 29 show the spring pivot n fixed in a stationary cover, and the spring
acting on the pivot of the driving plate d.
Sometimes the grease box is arranged with its axis parallel to the axis of the
axle, Figs. 30 and 31. The driving plate is moved by means of the cover B,
carrying a cord groove p. The cord r being connected with a weight Q, acting on
the plate, when the axle is rotating, while only little pressure is exercised, when
the axle is at rest.
In Figs. 32 to 34 two driving plates are applied, which swing downward about
a fulcrum.
This successive downward motion, by which the grease is pressed into the grease
channel, is effected by means of the weights 8 8, which may also be replaced by
direct loading of the plates .
t
In Fig. 35 the central pivot is provided with the gearing u, in which catches the
sector moved round its fulcrum w by the spring v causing a slow revolution of the
pressing plate.
Π
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I déclare, that what
I claim, is:
-
― :
1.) A lubricating journal, provided in the interior with one or more partitions b,
in which one or more pressing plates & are so introduced, that the greasing material
is pressed by a movement of the plate d or of the vessel, into the grease channel c.
2.) With the greasing device described in Claim 1, for the purpose of mechanically
.pressing the greasing material into the grease channel, the application
a) of a spring actuating the cover and supported in the wall of the vessel by
means of a pin or recesses as shown in Figs. 16 to 21.
b) of a revoluble casing, surrounded by an adjustable spring 1, the wall 6 of
which exerts the pressure on the greasing material, Figs. 22 and 23.
c) of a double cover, which contains the spring fastened to the upper part
and adapted to set the lower part connected with plate d, in rotation,
which spring can be regulated by displacing the upper part of the cover,
which is provided with teeth, as shown in Figs. 24 to 26.
d) of a spring fixed to the stationary cover and setting the pivot carrying
the plate d in slow rotation as shown in Figs. 27 to 29.
e) of a cord r, which lies in the groove p in the cover and, by the action of the
weight Q, causes a movement of d, as shown in Figs. 30 and 31.
f) of the plate & swinging downwardly in a quarter circle and moved by the
weighted lever S or by its own weight.
