This invention relates to power wheelsand particularly to power wheels such as are,
used'in connection withoil well rigs and the like- Specifically the invention relates to bull Wheels, calf wheels, band wheels and the like. For the purpose ofsimplicity and clearness I will hereinafter refer'to the in: vention as a calf Wheel with the proviso that it is not limited in all its aspects to calf wheel construction. Galfwheels areusually The main object of the invention is to provide a novel hu'b structure whereby the wheel may be conveniently slipped over, the end of the shaft and securely fastened thereto by bolts or other suitable fastening devices.
In order to understand the construction and advantages of this invention, reference should be made to thefollowing description in connection with the accompanying drawings in which: V
Fig. 1 is a perspective viewofa calf whee] constructed in accordance with my invention, applied to its shaft, certain parts being broken away. v
Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the inner and outer hubs; part of the shaft being shown in elevation, and
Fig. 3 is a sectional view through a'modified form of hub. r The shaft 1 isprovided with gudgeons 2 and 3, the latter being on an inner hub member 4, fast to the end of the shaft 1. The inner hubt has an annular flange 5 with bolt openings 6 by means of which the outer hub of the wheel may be secured to the shaft. The outer end of the inner hub is provided with a spider 7 which carries the gudgeon 3. V V e The wheel is illustrated as comprising a slip-on outer hub of ring-form" having bolt openings 9 adapted to aline with the opening 6 in the inner hub 4 whereby the ringshaped outer hub 8, having'beenslipped on thecylindrical portion 10 of the inner hub may be; secured to the flange 5 on the inner hubby the bolts 11. Fastening devices 10 may be employed to fasten theinner hub member 4 to the tubular'shaft 1 so, the hub. member 4 will rotate with it.
The ring-shapedou-ter hub 8 is provided with an outstanding annular fiange 12 located approximately midway between the endsof the outer hub. There are two sets 13 yarid 14 of tangentially disposed lugs,v
those on one, side of the flange 12 alternating with those on the opposite side of the flange. The lugs constitute seats for the ends of the spokes .15. The spokes are illustrated as commercial angles one flangeof each angle being fastened to a lug, the other flange lying against the face of the; flange 12 so thatthe spokes will be rigidly heldagainst twisting, and since they may resist torsional strains, tendency of the rim to weave or get out of round'will be reduced to a minimum.- The rim of the wheel consists of the cant16, on the opposite faces of which are the'segmental plates 17 and 18 grouped together in circular series and fastened one to the other as well as to the cant, by fastening devices 19 "and 20. Between complementary face plates are channel shaped tie-plates which not only tiethe face plates together but also serve the purpose of tying or fastening the outer ends of the spokes to the rim; The
spokes may be cut in appropriate lengths from commercial angle iron, the'tie-plates 21 maybe cut from commercial channels and the face plates maybe cut inuniform segments from commercial sheets. The cant of the wheel may co'nsisteither of woodor iron and when the wheel is entirely con '7 structed it will berigid relatively light and durable. It canbe shipped to the derrick and there attached to theinner-h'ub and.
shaft or the inner hub and shaft may be assembled with the wheel prior to shipment as best practice may dict-ate. f i e From the foregoing it will be apparent that the wheel may be inexpensively con: structed, that it will have all the'advantages of the ordinary wooden power wheel without'an'y of its disadvantages andthe hub of the wheel can be easily attached to the power 1 shaft, that is to'the inner hub member in a convenient manner.
In Fig. 3.1 have shown the hub as ap-. I
plied to the drive end of the bull wheel construct-ion, theessential difference being that,
the inner hub member 25 is sleeved on the shaft 26 back from the endand supports the outer 'hub 'memberwhich carries a guard.
The inner hub member is provided withija, flange 27 to which the outer hub member 28 is fastened bybolt-s 29, long enough to ex.- ftend through the outer hub member and be provided With nuts 30 and '31- between Whichthe guard 32 is fastened, the guard 32 hav-' ing a peripheral inturned" fiange'33s0 that the guard Will prevent the operators clothes catching on the ends of the bolts as the shaft and Wheel rotate; Of course, in theconstruct-ion shovvnin Fig. 3, the gudgeon is not carried by the n'ner' hub member but is on the'end of the sh'aft'as indicatedat 34. In
other respects, the hub structure shown in ,Fig. 3'closely-follows the structures shown .3
in Figures 1 a-ndQ,
hat I claim and desire to secure by Let ters Patent is Y1 '1. In combination, a shaft, an inner hub member fast to theshaft, a gudgeon von one end of the inner hub member, a flange on the other end of' the inner hub member,'a
Wheel hub member sleeve'd'on the'inner hub,
passing member and fastening devices through the flange andthrough the second of the face plates.
mentioned hub member to secure the two hub members together.
2. A power Wheel comprising a cant, a
hub having an --outstanding fiange intermediate its ends, face plates on, opposite faces of the cant and spokes connecting the face plates to the hub, thespokesjcompris ing angles each having. one flange fastened to ahub por-tionWith'the other flange in intimate contact With the flange on the hub,
