Specification 01 Letters Patent. Patented Aug, 26, 1919.
Application filed November 6, 1818. Serial No. 261,425.
;To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, HENRY A. House, Jr., a citizen of'the United States, and resident of Bu'ifalo, Erie county, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Iniprovements in Wheels, of which the followmg is a specification.
wheels and particularly to improvements in This invent-ion relates to improvements in wire spoked-wheels having two rims and a single hub.' One object of this invention is to provide a wheel of this character which is adapted to resist shock from either side and in which the rims are firmly held at a fixed distance from each other.
' Another object of this invent on is to provide a wire 'spoked double wire wheel in which a broken spoke can be removed and prises a hollow barrel 11., carrying at each end an annular member-12. As shown particularly in Fig.2 the annular member 12 is cut away at 13 to provide a sleeve portion which can he slipped over the end of the barrel 11. The member 12 has also an annular flange 14 extending away from the barrel, provided with two annular rows of holes 15 and 16. The holes in each row are the same. in number and arranged in pairs, the
pairs in the outer'row alternating with the pairs in the inner row (see Fig. 1). In these holes are secured the spokes to wluch reference \Vlll be made later.
The rims 17 and 18 are identical in construction and each is provided with two annular rows of openings through which the spoke engaging nipples 1!) extend." It is to be noted thatfthe rows of openings in the rims iir'c equally distanced from and on each side of the center line oi the run.
For convenlenco in descript on the lctt. side 0! run 17 knd the right side of rnn 1b as shown 1n Fig.2, will be referred to as the outer sides and the other sides as the inner sides.
The spokes are arranged in six sets, designated on the drawing as 20, 21, 22, 23, 24
and 25 respectively. Sets 20, 21 and 22 extend from the left end of the hub, the first to the outer side of the adjacent rim 17, the second to the inner side of the adjacent rim 17 and the third to the inner side of the nonadjacent rim 18. Sets 23, 24 and 25 extend from the right end of the hu, thefirst to .the inner side of the non-adjacent rim 17, the second to the inner side of the adjacent rim 18 and the third to the-outer side of the adjacent rim 18. Referring to drawing it will be seen that the wheel is exactly symmetrical and reversible. d The set20 comprises the spokes A and B, the former extending from the outer row of holes 15 in the flange 14 and the tter from the inner row of'holes 16. The pets 21, 22', '75
23 and 24% comprise respectively the'spokes C, D, E and F, the spokes Cand F exte'ndi g from the outer row of holes 15 and t e spokes I) and E extending from the inner. row of holes 16. The set 25 comprises the spokes G and H, the former extending from v the inner row of holes 16' and thelattcr from theouter row of holes 15. The spokes A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are equal'in number. A and C extend from row. 15 and B and D from. row 16 in the left hand flange of Fig.
2, while F andH extend from row 15 and E and G from row 16 in the right hand flange of'Fig. 2.
Fig. 1 is aview taken-from the right side of Fig. 2 and spokes'A, B, C and D which exlnnd from the rear-.flange are'shown in dotted lines, while spokes I), F, G and H, which extend from the front flange are,
The rims as pointed 95 shown in full lines out above are identical in construction and the same general direction while the third is inclined mthe other direction. The amount of inclinatidn of the single set of spokes,
however, is so mu eh greater than that of the other two setsfthat the rim is held in equilibrium and the tension on allthe spokes is substantially the, same while any side shock is resisted by three quarters-of the spokes in the rim.
Spokes D and E which comprise sets'21 and 22 cross at about the center line ofithe' wheel thus forming a truss brace to prevent the separation of the rims.
No spoke contacts with any other spoke so that there is no necessity of bending and moreover the insertion or removal of one spoke can be done without interfering with the remaining spokes. This advantage flows from the staggered arrangement of the spoke holes 15 and 16 in the flanges 14: and from the particular inclination of the flanges. Y i
Whileonly one form ofthis invention has been shown and described, it wilhbe 'understood' that the invention isnot limof-each rim' to both ends of the hub.
2. A wheel having in combination a hub;
two rims andjspokes extending frofn each end of the hub to both sides of the ad acent' rim and one sideof the non-adjacent rim.
3. A Wheel-having incombination a hub, two rims and six sets of spokes in groups of-three, one group attached to each end of the hub, and in each group-one set extending tn the outer edge of one rim and the other tivo sets extending to the mneredgesWf each run.
l. A Wheel having in combination two ,45
rims, av hub having-a1 i lar fian-g at. each eud,t\vo annular sets of oles iii each flange, spokes fastened in oneset of holes extending to the outer and inner-edges of one rim and spokes 'fastened in the] other set of holes extending to the outer edge of one rim and the inner edgeiof the other rim.
5. A "\vlieel having in combination two rims, a hub having an annular. flange atv each end, two annular sets'ot an equal number of holes in each flange, spokes fastened in theouter set of holes extending to the outer and inner edges oi the adjacent rim and spokes fastened mth'e inner set of holes extending toithe outer edge ofthe adjacent remand the nner edge of the non-ad acent rim. v a
6. Awheel having in combination two rims, a llllb,'SPOl(S extending from the outeredges of-the rims to the adjacent endshof the hub and an equal number of spokes extending froi'n'the inner edges of therims to o both endsof the hub. y

A Wheel haying in combination two rims, a 'hub, spokes extending from. theouter edges of the rims, to the adj acent' ends of the hub and an equal number of; spokes extending from the inner edges ofthe rims to both ends of the ghub, theSDOkes extending to the: same end of theichub'being inclined in the same general direction a ndthe 2 spokes extending wfrom the inner edges of each rim tofthe nonradjacent end of the hub cro'ssinp at the Center line of the hub to 'form a truss brace. v
