VEHICLE HUB. No.176,903. Patented May Z,1876' Q ail/jam NJETERSl PHQTO-LIYMOGRAPHER. WASHINGTON. D O.
NITED STA'rEs PATENT IMPROVEMENT IN VEHlCLE-HUBS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 176,903, dated May 2, 1876; applicationfiled March 21, 1876. I
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ANTONIUS VAN GEEL, of Rahway, in the county of Union and State of New J ersey, have invented a new and Improved Hub, of which the followingis a specification:
- consists in the tight seating of the socketring on the hub and the spokes in the socketrm g.
In the drawing, A represents a hub of the usual construction, on which the ring-shaped socket-band B is driven, in the usual manner. To secure the tight sea ing of the socket-ring on the hub, a sheet-metal sleeve, B, is interposed intermediately between the rear part of the hub and the hind section of the socket-ring B. The intermediate sleeve prevents the cutting of the wood of the hub, and serves to compress the fibers of the same, which secures.the'sooket-band more firmly by the tendency of the fibers to expand, producing thereby a most intimate joint at the point most exposed to strain. The spokes 0 are driven into the socket-holes or tenons of the band or ringB, and compressed in analogous manner to the hub by the wedge action of the same, in connection with thin pieces, D, of
- sheet metal, and interposed layers of leather or rubber, as shown in the drawing. This 1 produces not only the solid tenoning of the spokes, but imparts also a certain degree of elasticity, which is a point of considerable importance in wheels. The spoke ends are slitted by means of a saw, and driven into the socket ring. The hub-recess, below the sock-' rings, substantially as and et-ring B, is provided either with one or more wedge-shaped metal rings, E, that are either sprung on the hub or made of two or more sections that are jointed in suitable manner. The wedge-ring E is notched or rasp-cut at the sides, to produce the biting of the cut surface- The sides of the spoke-recess may also be provided with notched on the ends of the spokes.
rings E that biteon the outer sides of the spoke ends.
The wedge-rings may be seated on a baseband, E to preventtheir being driven into the wood, or they may be cast in one piece with the same, as found-most convenient.
When the spokes are driven into the socket-ring, the wedge ring or rings spread the spoke ends, andproduce the rigid socketing of the same, the spokes being firmly held against side motion by the metallic'binding pieces or strips. The slits in the spoke ends admit the ready spreading of thesame, and their elastic or cushioned seating in the hub.
The tenoning of the spokes and the seating of x scribed.
