J. STOKES, JR. SAND BAND FOR VEHICLES. APPLICATION FILED mum, 1910.
1,025,329, Patented May 7, 1912.
WITNESSE -,INVENTOR UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JEREMIAH STOKES JBH, OF EAST MI LL CREEK, UTAH.
SAND-BAND FOR VEHICLES.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JEREMIAH STOKES, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at East Mill Creek, in Salt Lake county and State of Utah, have invented a new and useful Sand-Band for Vehicles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates generally to improvements in sand bands or mud guards for vehicle boxings, and to the manner of fastening them to the axle.
The object of my invention is to improve the construction of sand bands or guards for vehicle boxings and the manner of fastening the same to the axle, and to provide a guard of great convenience and serviceability at a very low cost.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device detached, illustrating the invention with all the parts properly fitted together as in actual use; Fig. 2 is a similar view of the device attached to the axle; Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the device detached, showing the sections of the device arranged in juxtapo sition ready for assembling; Fig. 4 is a side view of the device applied; Fig. 5 is an end elevation of the spring which holds the guard in position; Fig. 6 is a side View thereof.
The drawings are not drawn to a scale and the device together with its respective parts may be enlarged or diminished in the actual construction of the device in order to adapt the same to the needs of the vehicle to which it is to be applied.
Like characters refer to similar parts throughout the views.
Referring to the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification, E and C respectively represent the upper and the lower semi-cylindrical hoods of the device, the sides of which meet as is shown clearly in Figs. 1 and 3. These hoods are held together at opposite sides by ordinary leather straps and buckles B, the edges A of the lower hood C fitting within the corresponding edges of the upper hood E; said hoods when connected forming a cylindrical casing for the inner end of a hub, as is Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March 7, 1910.
Patented May 7, 1912. Serial No. 547,942.
clearly shown in Fig. 4. The upper hood E 18 provided with a longitudinal extension or cap D fixed thereto and which is inverted U-shaped in cross section and which conforms substantially to the axle H with which it is designed to be engaged. An inverted U-shaped steel spring is fixed to cap D and conforms substantially to the said cap and firmly and securely engages the axle on the top and sides, thereby holding the device in place, as clearly shown in Fig. 4. In Figs. 1, 2, and 3, of the drawings, only a part of the said spring is visible, the top of the spring being housed within the cap D and the ends thereof passed through slits in said cap. In Figs. 4, 5, and 6, the top of said spring is shown. This spring D is provided with adjustable slides F, which are held in place by keepers J, which permit the slides to move freely therein to conveniently adjust the device to fit axles of different sizes. The slides F are provided with thumb screws I, which hold the slides firmly in adjusted position. Each slide is provided at its lower end with a short inturned arm or lug G which extends under the axle and when the screws I are engaged with the said spring D, the cap D equipped with the said spring D will be tightly pressed down over and secured to the axle with the upper and lower hoods extending over and incasing the inner end of the hub as shown in Fig. 4. The slides F are provided on the outer faces of their free ends with thumb or finger pieces K, by means of which the ends of the spring may be spread apart and the device conveniently removed from the axle without releasing the thumb-screws or changing the position of the slides.
It will thus be obvious that the device is of simple construction, can be manufactured at a very low cost, and readily applied to any axle without the aid of a skilled mechanic.
I claim as my invention 1. A sand band for vehicles comprising a cylindrical hub engaging member having a semi-cylindrical axle engaging extension, an inverted U-shaped band engaged with said extension, slides adjustably engaged with said band on opposite sides thereof and having their outer ends inturned to form axle gripping members, and means for locking said slides in adjusted position.
2. A sand band for vehicles comprising a 5 said band on opposite sides thereof and ham cylindrical hub engaging member having a grips on their outer faces, and means for semi-cylindrical axle engaging extension an locking said slides in adjusted position.
inverted U-shaped band en a ed with said extension, slides adjustabl engaged with JEREMIAH STOKES Vitnesses GEORGE M. CANNON, ELsIn M. Cooxn.
ing their outer ends inturned to form axle gripping members, said slides havlng finger Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents. Washington, D. G.
