Lubricator
|
Allen W. Swift |
Elmira, Chemung County, NY |
Patented in Canada, patent #16,545.
Abstract:
The present invention has reference to lubricators for steam-engines in which the water formed by the condensation of steam is permitted or caused to descend into the oil chamber or cylinder, whereby the oil therein is displaced and caused to ascend from the chamber or cylinder through a suitable outlet. The means usually employed for obtaining the object above specified was the use of a short pipe or tube communicating with the supply of water of condensation, and extending down into the oil chamber or cylinder, to conduct the drops of water into and through the oil, and thereby displace an equal quantity of the oil and cause it to ascend into the steam-supply pike. The essential and important feature in this class of lubricators is to be enabled at all times by observation to ascertain whether they are properly and regularly working, or the drops of water from the condensation of the steam regularly pass into the oil.
Claim:
A drip-tube of a lubricator having its end highly polished to present a bright surface, and extended in close proximity to the transparent portion of the oil-cylinder. |

Lubricator
|
Allen W. Swift |
Elmira, Chemung County, NY |
Patented in Canada, patent #20,190.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the class of lubricators which are usually designated "displacement" lubricators, and in which the lubricant is automatically discharged from the cup by the pressure of water obtained from condensation of steam and admitted into the cup and it has, more particularly, reference to the style of lubricator illustrated in my patent of September 26, 1882 (#265,180), In the operation of the said lubricator, I have found that owing to the peculiar arrangement of the oil inlet, oil-outlet, water inlet and observing-glass with the cavity of the arm which carries the lubricant-cup in a suspended position and forms an extension of said cup, the air which enters through the oil-inlet, while filling the cup and becomes confined therein, forms an elastic cushion which conduces to the pulsations and irregularities in the action of the lubricator as observed through the observation-glass thereof.
Claim:
In combination with a lubricant-cup provided with a transparent section and a water-inlet near said section, a nozzle applied adjustably to said inlet, and 'adapted to be set at a greater or less distance from the transparent portion of the cup, |
