<p>456,522. Bearings ; lubricating. JOHNSON, E. R. H., 27, Park Road, and WILLEY & CO., Ltd., Haven Road, both in Exeter, and UNITED GAS INDUSTRIES, Ltd., 51, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London. April 10, 1935, No. 11079. [Classes 12 (i) and 12 (iii)] The bearings, of, for example, the roller axles of spirally-guided gas-holders, are lubricated by means of a hollow boss b which is mounted on the axle c and dips into an oil chamber a<i>. The boss is divided into a number of segmental chambers b<1> by radial partitions. As the axle rotates oil enters holes b<2> in the outer wall of the boss and is delivered to the bearing through holes b<3> in the inner wall of the boss. Axial grooves c<1> are formed in the axle. These grooves may increase in depth towards the ends of the bearing and communicate with oil return passages a<4>, a<5>.</p> |
