Description: |
| Seen as "PATENTED AUG. 27.1865" (sic) on the bearing cap of a 3-head sticker/molder. The same incorrect date was used on saw arbors from C. B. Rogers & Co."This invention relates to certain improvements on journal-boxes which are termed 'self-lubricating' because there is employed in their construction a capillary substance for conducting the lubricating-oil from chambers beneath the journal to the surface of the latter, so as to keep it continually supplied with oil as long as any remains in said chambers. The object of my invention is to so construct a journal-box operating on this principle that it can be more conveniently cleaned of sand and viscous oil; also to provide for conducting the pure oil from chambers at the extremities of the box to the middle of the length of the same by means of a capillary substance, and to provide for conducting the oil which escapes from the chamber back again into said chambers, as will be hereinafter described." |
