JOSEPH WALTERS,
OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
REMOVABLE SLEIGH-RUNNER FOR VEHICLES.
To all whom "it may concmm:
Be it known that I, Josnri-r humans, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, county of lVayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Removable Sleigh- Runners for Vehicles, and declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification My invention relates to an improvement in removable sleigh runners for wagons or other vehicles, shown in the accompanying drawings and more particularly set forth in the following specification and claims.
It is customary in certain localities in the winter season to remove the wheels of a wagon or other vehicle and to replace them with short runners arranged in tandem, commonly referred to as bobsleighs. These runners are at times attached to the axle bar and in other cases sleeved directly on the arbor of the axle. It has been found, however, that the wear occasioned by mounting them directly on the arbor or spindle of the axle of the vehicle during the winter season results in damaging the axle to such an extent that it must frequently be replaced by a new axle before re-converting it into a wheel vehicle.
The object of this invention is therefore, 'to relieve the arbors of the unusual wear occasioned through mounting runners thereon so that when the winter season is over and the wheels again replaced upon the spindles, they will be found in as perfect condition as when the wheels were removed.
In the drawings accompanying this specification:Figure 1 is a perspective view of a sleigh runner connected to an axle,a fragmentary portion of the latter only being shown. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary elevation of an axle, with the sleeve and collar mounted thereon and the member engaging the runner in section. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the sleeve. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the annular member secured to the runner by which it is connected to the axle. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the collar by which the member shown in Fig. 4 is secured against lateral movement.
Referring now to the letters of reference placed upon the drawings :A is the axle;

Application filed December 8, 1910.
Patented Oct. 10, 1911. Serial No. 596,189.
A its arbor; and A the usual flange at the end of the arbor.
B is a sleeve having a tapering bore to conform to the shape of the arbor,the outer surface of the sleeve being straight.
B is an enlarged shoulder formed on the inner end of the sleeve having a recessed portion Z) to receive the annular gasket 0 lying between the end of the sleeve and the flange A G is a bushing which may be of leather or other suitable material, lodged between the arbor and sleeve.
D is an annular casting sleeved on the member B, having projecting portions D pierced for the passage of bolts by which it is secured to the top rail of the runner E.
F is a collar mounted on the sleeve B and secured thereto by the bolts f,the purpose being to secure the casting D against lateral movement. The casting D is preferably recessed as indicated at (Z in order that it may overlap the shoulder B and the collar F. While this is the preferred form, it is not essential. As indicated in Fig. 2 of the drawings, the collar F projects beyond the end of the sleeve B forming a recess in which is lodged a leather or other gasket 0.
G is a nut engaging the screw-threaded end of the axle, by tightening which the sleeve B is crowded against the flange A securing the sleeve against rotation upon the arbor in order to avoid the wear that would otherwise result from the movement of the parts.
It will now be seen that the movement of the runner with respect to the axle resulting from the inequalities of the road, will be borne solely by the sleeve B,the sleeve being fixed to the shaft while the casting D is free to oscillate thereon It will therefore be seen that the wear occasioned through changing from wheels to sleigh runners will be inappreciable, and when the wheels are again replaced the arbors will be in as good condition as before.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. In a removable sleigh runner for vehicles, a sleeve mounted on the arbor of the axle and secured against rotation thereon provided with a shoulder, an annular casting rotatably mounted on the sleeve adjacent to its shoulder and bolted to the runner directly beneath the arbor of the axle, a collar mounted on the sleeve spaced from said shoulder to receive between it and the shoulder the annular casting, and means for securing the collar and sleeve against rotation upon the axle.
2. In a removable sleigh runner for vehicles, a sleeve covering the whole of the arbor of the axle secured against rotation thereon and provided with a shoulder at one end, a bushing between the sleeve and arbor, a sleigh runner having a single point of connection with the axle and located directly below its arbor, an annular casting rotatably mounted on the sleeve adjacent to its shoulder, said casting provided with projecting flanges bolted to the frame of the runner, a collar mounted on the sleeve spaced from the shoulder to receive the annular casting and bearing against it whereby the casting is secured against displacement, both said sleeve and collar tapped to receive a set screw, the set screw to secure the collar upon the sleeve, and a nut engaging the end of the axle and bearing against the sleeve.
In testimony whereof, I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
