PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Lubricators for Engine Cylinders and the like.
HENRY WINDER, Corn Miller, 6, Lorne Street, Upper Brook Street, Chorlton-
on-Medlock, Manchester, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in apparatus for lubricating engine
cylinders, by substituting for the opaque ball in the tallow cup lubricator,
hitherto in use, a transparent vessel or cestern in such a manner that the flow
of oil or other lubricant therein can be seen at each stroke of the piston.
2nd. By so shaping the plug of outlet tap at section of bore that a more
extended graduation or shutting off, or opening of way in plug is effected.
Dated this 16th day of September 1899.
Improvements in Lubricators for Engine Cylinders and the like.
HENRY WINDER, Corn Miller, 6, Lorne Street, Upper Brook Street, Chorlton-
ou-Medlock, Manchester, 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:-
My invention relates to improvements in apparatus for lubricating steam
engine cylinders, gas engine cylinders, steam-hammer cylinders and the like
by substituting for the opaque ball or receptacle for oil in the ordinary tallow-
cup lubricator hereto in use a transparent vessel or cistern of any capacity or
material so arranged that the flow of oil or other lubricant used can be seen
at each stroke of the piston to be oiled. This is effected by cutting partially
round the plug of outlet-tap, which connects the oil cistern with the cylinder
which tap is marked A Fig. 1 in drawings a tapered groove in one or more
directions as marked B B Fig. 2 and 3. This groove is cut at section of plug
where the bore through the plug is cut and allows a more prolonged, graduated
and more easily regulated opening and shutting off of oil way through the said
plug.
The apparatus being connected at or, near one end of the cylinder of engine,
is partially filled with oil, or other lubricant, the inlet tap to the apparatus is
then closed, and the outlet tap to same, leading to the cylinder and marked
Fig. 1 in drawing, is partially opened, to such a degree as to show, at each stroke
of the piston of engine, a distinct rising and falling of the mass of oil contained
PQ71

page_text: in the said cistern.
At the reverse stroke of the piston a small portion of oil is
drawn through the tapered way in plug marked B, B in Figs. 2 and 3: the supply
of oil being regulated to any degree according to pressure of steam or compressed
air used, and the speed of piston.
>
Haying now fully described and ascertained the nature of my said-invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim as
novelty, or novelties, is:-
Firstly the substitution of transparent vessel for opaque vessel or cistern for
high pressure lubricator.
Secondly the formation of outlet tap plug as described above and shown in
Figs. 2 and 3 of the drawing.
