same over the peripheral edge of the eccen- 1
tric as the latter is rotated. It will thus be
seen that by rotating the cap 24 with a
wrench or other suitable tool the width of the
5 openings 26 may be varied at will thereby to
regulate the quantity of oil supplied through
the tube to the eccentric.
A washer or gasket 28 is preferably inter-
posed between the head 22 and the adjacent
10 curved face of the enlargement 12 in order to
assist in preventing leakage.
The device is comparatively simple in con-
struction and thoroughly efficient in opera-
tion and may be manufactured and placed on
15 the market at a comparatively small cost.
Having thus described the invention what
is claimed is:
1. The combination with an eccentric, of a
strap surrounding the eccentric and provided
20 with a reservoir adapted to contain a lubri-
cant, an open ended feed tube extending
transversely through the reservoir, and hav-
ing its inner end arranged to discharge the lu-
bricant on the eccentric and means operating
25 within the feed tube and coacting with the
latter for regulating the discharge of lubri-
cant from said reservoir said regulating
means forming a closure for the outer end of
the feed tube.
30 2. The combination with an eccentric, of a
strap surrounding the eccentric and provided
with a lateral enlargement having a reser-
voir formed therein and adapted to contain a
lubricant, an open ended feed tube extend-
35 ing transversely through the reservoir and
having its inner end disposed at the periph-
ery of the eccentric, said feed tube being pro-
vided with a plurality of apertures commu-
nicating with the interior of the reservoir,
40 and a cap operating within the feed tube and
providediwith corresponding apertures adapt-
ed to register with the apertures in the tube
for regulating the discharge of lubricant from
the reservoir said cap forming a closure for
45 the open end of the feed tube.
3. The combination with an eccentric, of a
strap surrounding the eccentric and provided
with a lateral enlargement having a reservoir
formed therein and adapted to receive a lu-
50 bricant, one wall of said enlargement being
provided with a threaded opening, an open
ended feed tube extending transversely
through the reservoir and having its inner
end disposed at the periphery of the eccen-
55 tric and its exterior walls threaded for en-
gagement with the walls of the opening, there
being feed apertures formed in the tube and
communicating with the interior of the res-ervoir, and a cap working within the tube
and provided with corresponding apertures (0
adapted to register with the apertures in the
tube for regulating the flow of lubricant from
the reservoir, said cap forming a closure for
the outer end of the feed tube.
4. The combination with an eccentric, of a 05
strap surrounding the eccentric and provided
with a lateral enlargement having a reservoir
formed therein and adapted to contain a
lubricant, an open ended feed tube extending
transversely through the reservoir and hav- 70
ing its inner end disposed at said eccentric
and its interior walls threaded and provided
with a plurality of feed apertures, absorbent
material disposed within the tube, and a cap
forming a closure for the outer end of the 75
tube and having its exterior walls threaded
for engagement with the interior threaded
walls of the tube, said cap being provided
with apertures adapted to register with the
apertures in the tube for regulating the dis- so
charge of lubricant from the reservoir.
5. The combination with an eccentric, of a
strap surrounding the eccentric and proviel
with a circumferential groove, said strap e-
ing formed in sections one of which is pro- 85
videl with a lateral enlargement having a
reservoir formed therein and adapted to con-
tain a lubricant, the walls of said reservoir
being provided with alined openings one of
which is threaded and the other provilel 90
with a smooth bore, a feed tube having one
end thereof reduced and threaded for en-
gagement with the threaded walls of an ad-
jacent opening and its opposite end extend-
ing through the other opening and provided 95
with an angular head, the interior walls of
said tube being threaded and having feed
apertures formed therein and communicat-
ing with the reservoir, a cap having an angu-
lar head and provided with exterior threads 100
adapted to engage the interior threads of the
feed tube, said-cap being formed with aper-
tures adapted to register with the apertures
in the tube for regulating the (lisclarge of
fluid from the reservoir, and absorbent ma- 105
terial arranged within the tube and cap re-
spectively, and bearing against the eccentric
at the circumferential groove.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as
my own, I have hereto affixed my signature I 10
in the presence of two witnesses.
