DESIGN FOR A HUB-BAND.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 16.625, dated April 13, 1886. Apl licatiulrfilcll February 4. 1896. Serial No. 190,860. Term of patent H years.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN SIMPSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cnyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented and produced a new and original Design in Staggered-Mortise Bands for Carriage and Wagon Hubs, of which the following is a Specification, reference being bad to the accompanying drawing, forming part thereof.

The single figu re of the drawing represents a plain elevation of my newly-designed band, shown for convenience as secured on a wooden hub.

My design has reference more especially to the character of the band known to the trade as the staggered-mortise" band; and its features consist in the peculiar configuration of the surface of the raised periphery and the artistically graduated molding which forms its sides and unites in gentle curves with. the surfaces of the body-extensions; in the contour of the inner and outer body-extensions and of the swell and annular extremity formed on the inner ex tension, asshownland described, whereby a band is formed which is symmetrical in its proportions, graceful in structure, and artistic in tinish.

Referring to the drawing. A represents the projecting end of the wooden huh on which the band is shown as mounted; but it should be understood that the hub forms no part of my design. B is the band, in the outlines of which my design is fully shown. The outer extension, at, of the body is provided with a smooth even surface, which extends inwardly to the base of the raised periphery b and within the recesses formed along its sides, as hereinafter explained. Said raised periphery is relieved from the body-extensions on either side by artistically-graduated molding having curved lines running laterally over its base and fading in the surface of the body parts, as shown. The face of the said periphery is figured with a series: of staggering rectangular mortises, which are separated from one another by narrow plain-faced webbing, and extend laterally to the rounded edges of the wall or molding of the periphery. As the said mortises are so arranged in relation to one another that only those in alternate positions fall within the same lines whcudrawn circumferentially on the raised periphery, and the walls or molding which determines the elevation of the periphery being uniform in thicknessand curvature at all corresponding points, it follows that recesses of substantially angular outer edges, when viewed as shown, are formedat regular intervals in the graduated molding, according as the mortises are ex tended alternately right and left at equal distances from a common center. The inner body portion or extension is formed with a narrow ledge, c, on the same plane as the extension a, and receiving the curvature over the molding and base of the raised periphery and running into the recesses formed along the sides of the same in like manner as the said extension a. At the outer edge of the ledge cthe body of the band is slightly reduced, forming a nearlyangular shoulder, from which extends s. swell, d, resembling a section of a. conoid in longitudinal view, the lines by which its sur faceis defined being slightly convex and gradually converging from its inner toward its outer extremity. A band-like projection, 0, having a smooth even surface, is formed on the end of the swell d.

Having thus described my invention, what.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The design for hub-bands herein shown and described, the same consisting of the face of the raised periphery b, perforated by a series of staggering rectangular mortisesand; having rounded outer edges, ated molding forming the sides of the said periphery and running into. the surfaces of the body-extensions in gently-curved lines, the smooth even surfaces of the body'extension a and the ledge c, with the contour of the swell d formed by convex converging lines running longitudinally, and theplain surface of the band-like extremity e, asset forth.

JOHN SIMPSON.
