Lunkenheimer Grease Cups
GREASE CUPS.
The sharp struggle for commercial supremacy among other manufacturers of Grease Cups, has been such, in past years, that more attention has been paid to the production of the cheapest article than to the quality of same. The result, however, is only too well known among users of such cheap articles, and we sincerely trust that by this time they fully realize that the installation of a good, practical and durable device will prove the cheapest in the end, and will save considerable time and annoyance.
It is, and has always been, our endeavor to furnish the trade with only the very highest grade of goods, and judging from our large sales and the general satisfaction derived from the use of our products, we have certainly accomplished our aim.
The following pages illustrate and describe our complete line of Grease Cups, among which we feel assured the trade will find exactly what they require, both as to design and adaption to the particular use for which the Grease Cup is desired.
As regards price, we are enabled to suit the requirements of the trade in this respect, but no matter how low the price may be, the quality, workmanship and design of all our Grease Cups are well in keeping with our other high-grade products.
Our Automatic Compression Grease Cups are furnished with a feed regulating device, by means of which the cup is very economical in operation, and one filling can be regulated so as to last a long time.
All parts are well and substantially made, and the cups are guaranteed in every respect. Each and every one is thoroughly tested and inspected before shipment, and perfect satisfaction is warranted.
NOTE:-We are frequently requested to furnish Grease Cups with smaller size pipe threaded shanks than those usually furnished. While we will comply with the requirements, nevertheless, we do not guarantee the cups, as they are liable to break off at the shank. An extra charge will be made for special shanks.

The spring and plunger are conveniently controlled by the handle A, which is provided with an automatic lock arrangement to prevent its jarring from position on stem.
DIRECTIONS.
To fill, turn thumbnut A to the right until plunger is drawn to the top of cup; then unscrew cover and fill cup with grease. Replace cover and put pressure on the grease by screwing thumbnut A up to top of stem B.
The rate of feed must be regulated by setscrew H which has a hole through it in line with the slot in the head of same; it may be regulated like a stopcock.
If desired to stop the flow of grease, turn thumbnut A down to cover, thereby taking pressure off grease.

"OWL" SCREW-FEED GREASE CUP.
Especially designed for automobile steering knuckles, springs and bearings. It is the lightest, neatest and most compact grease cup made, and the capacity of each size is as large as possible.
The spring cap is secured by the bead on the outer surface of the cup, so that it cannot rattle or be shaken off and lost. The position of the handle indicates perfectly just how much grease the cup contains. To remove cap for filling, unscrew until cap springs over bead.
This simple cup is smaller, cleaner, more efficient and far superior in every way to the small oil cups commonly used.
"TIGER" PLAIN BRASS GREASE CUP.
The "Tiger" Plain Brass Grease Cup is a cast brass cup, well adapted for jarring machinery, and is unsurpassed where a simple, compact and efficient plain cup is required. By screwing down cap A, the lubricant is forced to the bearing. The leather washer H prevents the grease from leaking out of cup, and can be easily replaced when worn out. The spring lock arrangement B (the projection E of which engages K at each turn) prevents the cap from jarring off and also cuts and loosens the grease.
Always keep leather washer H well expanded against the thread in cap by screwing up plate C. This plate can be easily tightened or unscrewed by using a pointed tool, inserting it in one of the holes in plate and striking it with a hammer.
