Specification of letters Patent.

Application filed September 16, 1916. Serial No. 120,425.
To all whoa.- it may concern:
Be it known that I, GUY L. WooDJARn, a citizen of thelhiited States, residing at San Diego, in the country of San Diego and 5 State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Spring- ()ilers, of which the following is a specitication.
My invention relates to a device for lubricating springs for vehicles and the like, and the objects of. my invention are: first, to provide a device of this class which will fit down over the top leaves of the spring and be secured thereto by the inherent spring of the metal; second,- to provide a device of this class with a large amount of reservoir space for holding the oil; third, to provide a device of this class which is simple and-economical of construction, dur- 0"able, easy. to iustallz'and will not readily deteriorate ,or get out of order.
' \Vith these and other objects in viewas will appear hereinafter my inventionvconsists of'certainnovel features of construction, combination and arrangement of portions and parts as will be hereinafter described in detail and particularly set forth in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the characters of reference thereon which form a part of this specification, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of the device shown mounted on a spring ready for use. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same minus the oil cup. Fig. 3. is a sectional View on line.AB of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the oiler in a slightly modified form from that of Figs. 2 and 3. Fig. 5 is a top view of the device in a slightly modified form from that of Fi s. 2 and 3 and'Fig. (3 is a sectional view through -J) of, Fig. 5,
Similar,cha actilsof reference refer to similar partsthroughout the several views. The. biltly 1,. cap I and Oil retainers 3 con-. stitute t to prhic pal parts of my oiler. v
The body- 1- consistsof a rcctangularly shaped piece, preferably metallic. provided with downwardly extending portions .,1 which are bentinwardly at right angles 1'" then upwardly 1 at right angles to 1 and the extended ends are turned inwardly at 1. adapted to fit tightly into the groove between the two spring members as'shown best in Fig. 3 of the drawings. the ends being inclosed by extensions on the sides 1 bent over, thus forming reservoirs for, the oil along the sides of the spring which will gradually seep and splash out on the sides f the spring when the vehicle is moving. 00 These reservoirs 3 may be provided in each end with felt ,to prevent leaking if desired but itvis not thought necessary in the construction. Across the middle of the oiler body is provided a raised portion 1" which 85 is adapted for a conductor of the oil from the center to the sides on the top of the top spring leaf. In the center is provided a hole. 1' into which is secured the oil cup 2 which is provided with a cap 2 which fits over the top thereof which may be removed in filling said cup. It will be here noted, however. that this cup 2 is not necessar. as the device without the cup provides an operative device but the cup provides an additional oil reservoir so that the 'oil in the device will not have to be replenished so often. 7 In the modified form of construction shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings the reserwar s made by turning the sides of the rectangularly shaped portion downwardly against the spring and there is provided a ridge 1" therein which is provided with a plurality of perforations therein adapted to permit the oil to'seep through from the reservoirs which are formed on the outward surface of the downwardly extending portion instead of on the inward surface as shown in Figs. 1, .2 and 3. In the modified form ofconstruction shown in Figs. 5 and 6 the construction is the same as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 except that the raised portion 1" and the central hole l'are eliminated and the holes 1" are placed on the sides centrally over the reservoirs and the oil is placed in the reservoir through these holes 1 instead of through the central hole 1' and the channel formed by the "raised portion 1. Though I have shown and described a certain construction. of spring oiler with slight modifications. I do not wish to be limited to a this particular form and these modifications but desire to include in the purview of my invention the construction, combination and arrangement substantially as set forth in the appended claims.
It is obvious that with this construction there is provided an oilcr for lubricating springs which may be readily secured over tlnntop icaves of a vehiclc .-spring which will thoronghlv lubricate the sides of the spring by the oil running down on each side, that with theoil cup 2 an additional quantity of oil may be placed so that it will run down into position in the oiler, that the device is simple and economical of construction, durable, easy to install and will not readily deteriorate or get out of order.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. In a spring oiler the combination of a plate provided With side members forming reservoirs which clamp over the upper leaves of a spring, whereby oil is permitted to seep out against the sides of said spring for oiling the same and an additional oil cup secured to said plate for replenishing the oil to said oiler.
2. Ina device of the class described, the combination of a plate provided with a raised portion. for an oil conductor and a central hole therein for an oil intake and provided with downwardly extending porwhereby the oil will. seep throu h from said reservoirs against the sides 0 said spring and an oil cup secured in said central oil hole adapted as a reservoir for replenishing oil to said oiler. H
3. In a device of the class described, the combination of a plate provided with a raised portion for an oil conductorand a central hole therein for an oil intake and provided with downwardly extending portions adaptedto fit snugly the sides of a spring and be held thereby, oil reservoirs formed integrally therewith along the sides, whereby the oil will seep through from said reservoirs against the sides of said springs, an oil cup secured in said central oil hole adapted as a reservoir for replenishing oil to said oiler, and felt mountedin said .reservoir adapted for retarding the seepage and splash of said oil from said reservoiis.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at San Diego, California, this 8th day of September, 1916.
GUY L. WOODJARD.
