PATENT JAMES \V. HITGHOOCK, OF NEWV RICHMOND, IVISCON SIN.
SAND-BAND FOR VEHlCLE-WH EELS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 294,782, dated March 11, 1884.
' Application filed December 8, 1883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J AMES W. HITCHCOCK, a citizen of the United Stat-es, residing at New Richmond, in the county ol'St. Croix and State of WVisconsin, have invented anew and useful Sand-Band for Vehicles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. 7
This invention relates to sand-bands for'vehicles; and it has for its object to provide a device which will guard against the admission of sand or other foreign substances'to the axle or spindle, and which will be readily applied and taken off, as desired.
A further object of my invention provides,
for the accumulation of the foreign substances in a chamber away from the axle, said chamber being cleaned of its contents as occasion requires.
NVith these and other objects in View, the said invention consists in certain details of construction and combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional View of a portion of a vehicle-axle embodying my improved sandband. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the several parts of the sand-band detached. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on-the line 00 m, Fig. 1.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
Referring to the drawings, A designates the i axle of any ordinary vehicle, and B a rubber ring or band having a square opening, a, to fit the axle, said ring or band being easily applied and adapted to fit the imperfect shapes of ordinary axles. A metallic collar, O, fits around and over the rubber ring or band, and is adapted to compress the same, said collar being formed with annular flanges c 0, extending outwardly, as shown, a chamber or space, 1), being left between the flanges to receive the accumulating sand or other foreign matter. The inner flange, e, is cut away or provided with an opening, as at f, in order that access to said chamber may be had for with an interior annular flange, b, and secured to the hub F of the wheel by screws or other suitable fastening means, said cover extending around and oven the sand-band and formingthe outer wall ofdust-chamberD. Flanges g are formed 011 the inner end of the hub to receive the parts of the sand-band, and thus form a tightjoint, and suitable spokes, h, are secured to the hub in any ordinary manner.
The operation of my invention is obvious and need not be particularly recited here.
Since the metallic collar 0 is fitted over the rubber ring or band B, the latter will be compressed, while both of the parts will be held firmly to the axle in a true and perfect shape. The annular dust or sand chamberD between the flanges c e is adapted to receive the accumulated foreign substances and store them away from the axle, the openingf being used to discharge the foreign substances without .70 taking off the sand-band. The metallic protecting-cover is fastened to the hub and forms a perfect protector from sand, dust, or any foreign substances.
It will be apparent that from the improved sand-band I am enabled to effectually guard against the admission of sand to the axle, the sand accumulating in a chamber away from the axle and being removed as occasion requires.
It will also be seen that my improved sandband is simple in its construction and efficient in operation, and will prove of great value as an anti-duster for vehicles.
My improved sand-band is readily adjusted, 8 5 adapts itself to the imperfect shapes of axles, and is held firmly in place without the use of bolts, nuts, or screws.
Having described my invention, I claim- 1. In a sand-band, the combination, with 9 the axle, of a rubber ring or band, a metallic collar fitting over and compressing the same,
and a protecting-cover, as set forth.
the axle, of a rubber ring or band, a metallic Ioo collar fitting around the saine and formed with l with said chamber, and a protecting-cover, as 10 a (lust-chamber, an opening communicating set forth.
