Improvements in or relating to means or apparatus for automatically lubricating or greasing the axles of colliery and like corves, tubs or wagons

... 310,194. Teale, J. W. May 1, 1928. Lubricant conveyed by mechanical means.-A fixed device for lubricating axles of corves and similar trucks is provided with a wheel 1, toothed or recessed to retain the lubricant, and mounted eccentrically by having a central hole larger than the spindle 2 on which it is mounted. The greater portion of the wheel is submerged in the lubricant contained in a reservoir 4 supported by brackets 6 between the rails (not shown). When the axle of the corve passes out of contact with the greasing wheel, the inertia of the lower part of the wheel minimizes its rotation, and so avoids wastage of lubricant.

Grease distribution bar for a railway track

The invention provides an improved device for the lubrication of railway tracks in the form of grease distribution bar of simplified construction, which is machined from a single piece of suitable material. This is possible because the greaseways are simple, without multiple bifurcations forming complex distribution trees, thus allowing the internal greaseways to be drilled or machined rather than requiring construction by layering multiple blades. The grease distribution bar comprises a body 1 presenting a plurality of outlet ports (4, fig 1) supplied by the greaseways 3. In further aspects, the invention provides improved channels and nozzles for grease delivery, and improved grease delivery using a progressive distributor system and improved means of rapid attachment and disengagement of such a device from the rail to be lubricated.

Device for automatically lubricating the side face of railway tracks particularly applicable in bends

Grease Distribution Bar

The invention provides an improved device for the lubrication of railway tracks in the form of grease distribution bar ( 1 ) of simplified construction, which may be machined from a single piece of suitable material. This is possible because the greaseways ( 3 ) are simple, without multiple bifurcations forming complex distribution trees, thus allowing the internal greaseways ( 3 ) to be drilled or machined rather than requiring construction by layering multiple blades. In further aspects, the invention provides improved channels ( 6 ) and nozzles ( 22 ) for grease delivery, and improved grease delivery using a progressive distributor system ( 10 ) and improved means of rapid attachment and disengagement of such a device from the rail to be lubricated.

Friction control compositions

According to the invention there is provided a liquid friction control composition characterized as either having a high and positive friction characteristic or a low and neutral friction characteristic, comprising a retentivity agent. The liquid friction control composition may also comprise other components such as a solid lubricant, a wetting agent, a consistency modifier, and a preservative. The liquid friction control compositions may be used to modify the interfacial friction characteristics in sliding and rolling-sliding contact such as steel wheel-rail systems including mass transit and freight systems.

Positive friction control composition for railways

A friction control composition having high and positive frictional properties for sliding steel surfaces includes a water insoluble hydrocarbon that enables a reduced water content, a rheological additive, a freezing point depressant, a friction modifier, and a lubricant.

Method of eliminating truck hunting in railway trucks

Truck hunting is eliminated in railway vehicles by applying a low coefficient of friction material to the vehicle wheels so that a lubricating film is provided between the vehicle wheels and the rail on which they ride which serves to increase the critical speed of a rail vehicle, i.e., the speed at which truck hunting occurs, to a value above its operating speed.

Modified interlocking solid stick

The present invention provides a modified interlocking solid composition stick for applying to steel surfaces that are in sliding or rolling-sliding contact. The modified stick comprises a body member with four sides, a first end and an opposed second end, and a nib member attached to the first end of the body member, the nib member having four sides connected by substantially curved side edges. The second end of the body member contains a cavity with substantially curved side walls dimensioned to snugly receive a nib member of a corresponding interlocking solid stick. To reduce the likelihood of failure of the nib or cavity, the dimensions of the nib are optimized such that a length of one side of the nib member (nl) and a length of the side of the body member (l) in the same plane has a ratio nl/l from about 0.6 to about 0.75.
