Description: |
Abstract:
This invention relates to improvements in steps for spindles, whereby it is designed to provide a more reliable and improved means of lubricating the spindles.
Claim:
The bush is provided with holes in the top, for the purpose of pouring in the oil, and for the application of a wrench for screwing it; also for a vent for the reservoir. In some cases, the ribs on the exterior of the bushing may be dispensed with, if preferred, as in cases where there is but little lateral pressure on the spindle. The bush being arranged for the spindle to pass through it, admits it to be raised up for swabbing, without disturbing the spindle. |
