three depressions 21, 22, and 23 the lubricant
is contained and by these means it is effect-
ively applied to all portions of the journal.
It may be observed by reference to Figs. 2 and
5 4 that the nipple 20 discharges the oil di-
rectly upon one of the ledges 24 and that this
ledge causes the oil to be spread throughout
the extent of the cellar.
The locomotive apparatus thus constructed
io acts automatically to supply the journal with
a lubricant and spreads the same throughout
the entire surface engaged. By turning the
stems 14 the plugs 12 may be adjusted to reg-
ulate the flow of the lubricant and the appa-
t5 ratus is always ready to be used manually by
simply pouring the oil through the hollow of
the stems 14. It will be observed that the
operation goes on automatically as long as
the reservoir 6 is filled and that this operation
20 is not- dependent upon the movement of the
engine.
Having thus described my invention, I
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters
Patent-
25 1. In a lubricating apparatus, a reservoir
having a partition therein, the partition ex-
tending throughout the height and breadth
of the reservoir and forming it into two com-
partments, a second partition extending up
30 from the bottom of the reservoir and forming
each compartment into two divisions, the sec-
ond partition being arranged to have the oil
flow over the top thereof from one divisipn
to the other, and one division of each compart-
35 ment having a discharge-orifice.
2. A lubricating apparatus, having a res-
ervoir, a nipple situated in the reservoir and
communicating with the discharge - orifice
thereof, the nipple having openings in its side,
4o and a hollow plug mounted to turn in the nip-
ple and having an opening capable of regis-
try with the opening in the nipple, whereby
to open and close the reservoir.
3. In a lubricating apparatus, valve devicesfor controlling the supply of lubricant, such 45
devices comprising a hollow stem through
which the oil may be introduced independ-
ently of the action of the valve devices.
4. In a lubricating apparatus, the combina-
tion with the journal to be lubricated, of a 50
bearing-block at the top thereof, a lubricat-
ing-cellar held against the under side of the
journal, a reservoir, and two tubes leading
from the reservoir, one of said tubes conduct-
ing the lubricant to the bearing-block and the 55
other to the lubricating-cellar.
5. A lubricating apparatus, having an oil-
cellar provided with an oil-supply device at its
upper portion, and an inclined ledge mount-
ed in the cellar and running from said oil-sup- 60
ply device longitudinally of the cellar, for the
purpose described.
6. A lubricating apparatus, provided with
an oil-cellar, the bottom of which is formed
with a number of oil-cavities therein, the oil- 65
cellar having an oil-supply device at its up-
per portion, and ledges running longitudi-
nally of cellar along the inner sides thereof,
one of the ledges leading from the oil-supply
device. 70
7. In a lubricating apparatus, the combina-
tion with a journal-bearing, of an oil-reser-
voir, a cellar mounted below the journal, a
tube passing from, the oil-reservoir to the oil-
cellar, and a second tube passing from the 75
oil-reservoir to the bearing at the top of the
journal.
8. In a lubricating apparatus, a reservoir
having a partition therein forming it into two
compartments, a second partition in the res- 8o
ervoir and forming each compartment into
two divisions, and means for carrying off oil
from each compartment, such means passing
from one division of each compartment.
