cated in Fig. 4, comprised of the nozzle sec-
tions 20a, a T coupling 20b by means of
which connection is made with conduit sec-
tion 19 or 19a, and a perforated screw plug
5 200 which carries a spring-supported needle
21 centered in the nozzle and by pressure on
which any plugging or obstruction of the
nozzle can be displaced.
The operation of the foregoing devices
10 will be found simple, effective, and auto-
matic, requiring no attention other than to
fill the reservoir, when required.
When the mechanism is at rest the valve
3 which controls the intermittent delivery of
15 the lubricant will be normally closed; when
the machine is in operation, the exhaust
steam, or its equivalent, will pass by conduit
4 to conduit section 4a which incloses the
lubricant conduit 2 and thence by conduit
20 section 15 and jet 16 into delivery chamber
3b, and the valve 3 being simultaneously
actuated from some movable portion of the
mechanism, intermittently delivers the lubri-
cant into delivery chamber 3b, where it is
25 taken up, sprayed and carried by the steam
which enters said chamber from conduit
section 16, into conduit section 18, branches
19, 19a, and projected through nozzles 20
onto the flanges of the drivers B, B', or such
30 portions of the machinery as are to be
lubricated.
Having thus described my invention, what
I claim and desire to secure by Letters Pat-
ent is:
. 1. In a lubricating device, a lubricant con-
duit which leads to the part to be lubricated,
an intermittently actuated valve which con-
trols the flow of the lubricant through the
lubricant conduit, a conduit for steam which
40 incloses the lubricant conduit and delivers
thereinto at a point between the valve and
the part to be lubricated, and means for
operatively connecting the valve with a
moving part of the machine.2. In a lubricating device, the combina- 45
tion of a lubricant conduit, a valve casing
having a valve chamber and a delivery
chamber and provided with ports which
connect the lubricant conduit with the valve
chamber of the casing and the valve cham- 5o
ber with the delivery chamber thereof, a
steam conduit which discharges into the de-
livery chamber of the casing, a valve having
ports which alternately register with the
port leading from the lubricant conduit to 55
the valve chamber, and means for actuating
the valve from a moving portion of the
machine.
3. In a lubricating device, the combina-
tion of a lubricant conduit, a valve for in- 80
termittently controlling the flow of lubricant
through the conduit, a valve casing having
a valve chamber and a delivery chamber
which connects therewith, a steam conduit
which incloses the lubricant conduit and is 65
provided with a jet which enters the deliv-
ery chamber of the valve casing, and means
for operatively connecting the valve with a
moving part of the machine.
4. In a lubricating device, the combina- 70
tion of a lubricating conduit which leads to
the part to be lubricated, a valve casing in-
terposed in the lubricating conduit, said
valve casing provided with ports and having
a valve chamber provided with end caps,, 75
and a delivery chamber, a cut off cock inter-
posed in the lubricant conduit between the
valve casing and the point to be lubricated,
and a steam conduit having a jet which 80
enters the delivery chamber of the valve
casing.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature,
in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
