PHINEAS JONES, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.
IMPROVEMENT IN W-HEELS FOR VEHICLES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 132,666, dated October 29, 1872.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PHINEAS JONES, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new Improvement in Carriage-Wheels; and I `dohereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing and the letlers of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and
. which said drawing constitutes part of this specification and represents, in-
Figure l, an edge view of one spoke; Fig.
2, a transverse section at the hub; and in..
Fig. 3, a tenoned spoke embodying my innprovement.
This invention relates to an improvement in the construction of the lower or .inner end of the spoke with special reference to that class of wheels which have a wood center surrounded by a metallic band, through which the spokes pass, such as was patented to me, but applicable alike to other constructions.
In driving the spokes where the mortise is not through the wood, if the spokes are driven Adown so as to strike solid upon the wood they are liable to rebound, striking, as they do, solidly upon the wood. rEhe object of this invention is to construct the end of the spoke so that when it comes solidly upon the wood of the hub the wood will yield and allow the spoke to indent into it; and it consists in constructing the lower end of the spoke serrated or withl V-shaped grooves in line with the axis of the hub-that is, grooves which form a sharp edge, or several sharp edges or teeth, as more fully hereinafter described.
A represents a spoke forv the metal-banded hub before referred to, made tapering at its lower end, or of the form to correspond to the mortise in the band, and at its lower end cut transverselythat is to say, in a line parallel to the line of the axis of the hub -so as to form one or more sharp edges, a, as seen in Fig. l. The spoke is then driven through the band ontothe wooden hub, and these teeth or sharp edges are readily set into the wood, and while they avoid the dead set 7 of the spoke they at the same time serve, to a certain extent, to prevent the band turning upon the hub, thus producing a better and stronger wheel than` can be done by the ordinary blunt-end spokes.
In ordinary wooden hubs the mortises are made through the center in order that the end of the spoke may not fetch up 7 at the bottom of the mortise. This opening of the mortise through to the box opens a passage for the oil from the box to the tenon, which is objectionable in that it tends to loosen the tenon. By my yimprovement the necessity of cutting the mortise through is avoided. I form the tenon B upon the spoke in the usual manner,
as in Fig. 3, and serrate the lower end of the purpose specified.
PHINEAS JONES.
