Abstract
Abstract A splash lubricating system for supplying oil to an interior reservoir for the bearings of grinding rolls, comprises an interior oil supply reservoir formed in the hub of the grinding rolls and at least one exterior oil supply line is connected from an exterior reservoir to the interior reservoir of the hub. Oil level indicating means are associated with the exterior oil supply reservoir for indicating changes of oil levels in the interior reservoir and for stopping the driving of the rolls if the oil level should fall below a predetermined amount. Two such exterior reservoirs may be provided, and one is advantageously connected to a separate oil supply tank for replenishing the oil in the interior reservoir of the grinding roller.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A splash lubricating system for supplying oil to an interior reservoir of a coal grinding apparatus for lubricating the bearings of a grinding roll, comprising a grinding roll, ring means cooperative with said grinding roll to grind material therebetween, bearing means rotatably supporting said grinding roll including an interior oil reservoir, a plurality of exterior oil supply reservoirs each having a separate oil supply line connected therefrom to said interior oil reservoir, at least one of said exterior supply reservoirs having an oil storage tank, a pump connected to said oil storage tank and to said interior oil reservoir for directing the oil from said storage tank to the reservoir, and level indicating means associated with each of said exterior supply reservoirs for indicating the level of oil in said interior reservoir.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
