porting wire or rod 19 extending trans-
versely beneath the reservoir. The resiliency
of the members of the hanger, serve to press
the device upwardly so as to dispose the
5 convolutions of the rollers 13 in close con-
tact with the under surface of the journal.
Oil may be supplied to the reservoir through
the filling opening 11, and during rotation
of the journal, it will be obvious that the
10 rollers will be likewise rotated through fric-
tional contact. The lubricant is carried by
the convolutions of the rotating rollers to
the journal thereby lubricating the same
throughout its circumferential surface and
15 from end to end. The reservoirs may be
quickly and easily replenished without dis-
turbing the relation of the same to the
journal.
In journal boxes, which by reason of their
20 construction do not permit the use of the
hanger described above, I provide a hanger
of another form illustrated in Figs. 5 and 6.
In this form of hanger, a single strand of
wire is employed, bent upon itself to form
25 parallel strands, with the bent portion again
bent as at 20 thus providing a hook member
designed to engage over the lower edge of
the journal box opening. The bent portion
may be formed with an out-turned bend 21
30 thus providing a finger piece by which the
hanger may be disengaged from the journal
box. The strands of the hanger are adapted
to engage the lower curved portion or bot-
tom of the journal box, and accordingly are
35 curved as at 22 to conform to the curvature
of the bottom at that point. The terminals
of the strands are then curved upwardly at
23, formed at their terminals with eyes 24
and engage by means of said eyes with eyes
40 25 formed on the ends of a transverse rod
disposed beneath the reservoir.
While I have illustrated and described my
invention with some degree of particularity,
I realize that in practice various alterationsth ereover may be made, and I therefore re- 45
serve the right and privilege of changing
the form of the details of construction, or
otherwise altering the arrangement of the
correlated parts without departing from the
spirit of the invention or the scope of the 50
appended claims.
Having thus described my invention what
I claim as new and desire to secure by Let-
ters Patent is:
1. The combination with a journal box 55
and journal, including brasses and a wedge
block, of a lubricating device including a
reservoir, means in the reservoir for supply-
ing lubricant to the journal, and means held
by the brasses and wedge block for suspend- 60
ing the reservoir in proper relation to the
journal.
2. A lubricating device for journal boxes,
comprising a reservoir adapted to extend
from end to end of the journal having its 65
longitudinal sides curved outwardly, de-
pending flanges formed at either end of the
reservoir, with openings provided in said
flanges, an extension formed on one end of
the reservoir, an enlarged portion on the end 70
of the extension to form a funnel, whereby
the reservoir may be filled, and lubricating
rollers within the reservoir each comprising
a strand of wire, curved spirally to form a
plurality of closely spaced convolutions, 75
with the terminals of the wire extended in
opposite directions and in alinement with
the central axes of the roller whereby the
rollers may be supported in the openings of
the flanges for rotation to carry lubricant 80
to the journal.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature
in presence of two witnesses.
