| Abstract:
The object of this invention is to improve the construction, diminish the cost of manufacture, and increase the efficiency and utility of the peculiar form of up-feed sight-lubricator described and claimed in Letters Patent No. 463,320, granted to me November 17, 1891; the first part of my present improvements being confined to an auxiliary condense-water pocket, which supplies water to the sight glass of the device. The second part of my present improvements consists in providing a special shut off between the live-steam pipe of the condenser, and the top of the sight chamber of the lubricator. The third part of my present improvements consists in providing means for insuring, a better discharge of lubricant from the auxiliary oilcup to an engine cylinder. The fourth part of my present improvements consists in a novel and efficient discharge of "condense water" from the condensers into the main oil-chamber, or fount, so as to prevent the contents of said chamber being siphoned out, in certain emergencies.
Claim:
T1he combination, in a lubricator, of a reservoir A, having a condenser C; an oil-discharge pipe E; a water-channel b, near the top of said reservoir, and leading to said condenser; a nipple I, having a port i, and communicating with said channel b, by a valve-guarded opening b'; a water-discharge tube J, depending from said nipple; and a cup K , carried by said tube; the receiving end of. said cup being above the level of said port. |
