BERT E. RILEY, OF LA HARPE, ILLINOIS.
SPRING-WHEEL.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BERT EVRILEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at La Harpe, in the county of Hancock and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spring-VVheels, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to wheels, and the principal object of the same is to provide a wheel with a novel type of hub, which is provided with internal springs so that unclue jolts and jars will be taken up.
This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a sectional view through the hub of the wheel. Fig. 2 is an edge view 01''. the hub. Fig. 3 is a sectional, View along the line 3-3, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a side plan view' of a wheel provided with the improved hub. Fig. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of one of the outer plates used with this hub.
In the accompanying drawings the numeral 1 indicates the core, which is provided with a sleeve 2, upon which is mounted a collar 3 provided with radiating arms 4:. The collar 3 is provided with openings 5 between each of the arms, and each arm is provided, near its outer end, with a trans versely extending opening 6. Eyes 7 are riveted in the openings 5, and a wire loop is passed through each of the openings 6 and twisted to form eyes 8.
A ring 9 is connected with the collar 3 by means of springs so that the collar will be suspended in the center of the ring. Bolts 10 having eyes 11 are mounted in the ring in alinement with eyes 7, and springs 12 connect the eyes 7 with the eyes 11. Smaller springs 13 connect the eyes 8 with the eyes 11.
Side plates 11 and 15 are placed to each side of the ring and collar, and are held together by means of bolts 16. It should be noted that the outer portions of the plates extend over the ring 9, and are provided with cut out portions which form openings Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed May 13, 1911.
Patented July 1 1912. Serial No. 626,928.
through which the bolts 10 pass. A band 17, which is provided with side flanges 18, surrounds the ring 9, and is provided with openings through which the bolts 10 pass so that nuts 19 can be threaded upon the outer ends of the bolts 10 and hold the band 17 in place.
The core 1 extends to each side of the hub through openings formed in the plates 14 and 15, and a plate 20 having a central collar 21 is placed upon each end of the core and secured in place by means of screws 22. The plates are of greater diameter than the openings formed in the plates 11 and 15 so that the openings will be completely covered and dust will be prevented from entering the interior of the hub. After the hub has been assembled, spokes 23 are fitted between the flanges 18 of the band 17 and the telly 241 is mounted upon the outer ends of the spokes. As the vehicle travels over rough roads any jolts are taken up by the springs 12 and 13 as the axle 25 of the vehicle is mounted in the core 1, and, therefore, the weight of the vehicle comes directly on the springs instead of upon the wheel.
Having described the invention what I claim is:
A wheel comprising a core, a collar mounted upon said core, arms radiating from said collar, eyes carried by said collar to each side of each of said arms, a ring surrounding said arms, eyes carried by said ring in alinement with said first mentioned. eyes, springs connecting said eyes, eyes passing through the end portions of said arms, springs connecting said second and third mentioned eyes, side plates secured to said ring, and spoke carrying means carried by said ring.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
BERT E. RILEY.
