OLIVER N. LLOYD, OF CHELSEA, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGKOR OF ONE-HALF TO FRANKLIN 1?. BAKER, OF SAME PLACE.
ROLLER-SKATE.
EPEGIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 301,376, dated July 1, 1884.
Application filed October 8, 1883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, Graven N. LLOYD, of Chelsea, county of Suffolk, State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Roller-Skatcs, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is aspecification, like letters on the draw ings representing like pai ts.
The rollers of roller-skates as commonly made are mounted on the ends ol'spindlcs' pass ing wholly through the rollers, and provided with cross-pins at their outer ends, to prevent the rollers from coming oil. The oil used to lubricate the rollers thus has an opportunity to escape at the ends of the spindles, and is thrown off by the centrifugal force and spattered by the shocks and jars of the rollers, thus soiling the clothing of the wearer.
lhe present invention has for its object to relieve the skates of this obj cation; and it consists in the combination of a roller of a rollerslcate with a protecting cap connected with the roller and inolosing the end of the spindle, so as to prevent the escape of oil, thus protectingthe clothing, and also producing a better finish at the hub portion of the roller, it covering the projecting end of the spindle, and also constituting a receptacle to contain a sufiicient amount of oil to lubricate the roller for a considerable length of time. The cap may be constructed and connected with the roller in a variety of ways, several of which are hereinafter described.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a roller-skate embodying this invention; and Figs. 2 to 5, inclusive, vertical sections of a roller and portion of the skate, showing various 1nodiiications in the construction and manner of applying the protecting-cap.
The foot-board a, spindle b, and rollers 0 thereon may be ofany suitable or usual construction, the said spindles passing wholly through the rollers, and being provided with washers and pins, as shown at d, to secure the rollers thercon, in the usual manner.
In order to prevent oil from escaping around the spindles I) at their outer ends and passin onto the outer surface of the rollers, and thence to the clothing of the wearer, the rollers are 50 provided with protecting-caps c, which in close .ers to be lubricated at their outer ends.
the ends of the spindles or axles b, and are preferably made detachable, to enable the roll- The said caps 0 may be connected with the rollers c in various ways. As shown in Fig. 2, the 55 rollerc is provided with a deep groove, 2, concentric with the spindle, the said groove being somewhat conical or inclined with relation to the axle of the roller, so that when the cap 6 is inserted its end will be caused to flare out 6( somewhat, binding tightly upon the material of the roller, so as to be held firmly in place and prevent the escape of oil between it and the said roller, the cap being preferably made of ductile metal, such as malleable brass. 6;
As shown in Fig. 3, the groove 3 in the roller is cylindrical or parallel with the axle, and the cap 6 merely fits tightly therein. As shown in Fig. l, the groove in the roller and the edge of the cap are correspondingly screw-threaded, 7
vso that the cap may be screwed into place. In
the modification shown in Fig. 5 the construction is substantially the same as shown in Fig. 2; but the cap is much larger, its holdinggroovein the roller being at a greater distance 7 i'ronrthc axle, so that the cap forms a receptaclo of considerable size for lubricating matcrial.
As I am not the first to provide a covering for the end of the axle of a roller-skate, I do 8 not broadly claim such a covering.
1 claim- 1. The roller provided with a groove in its outer face, combined with a cap, fitted and thereby held in said groove to cover the end 8 of the axle or spindle of the roller, substantially as described. I
The combination of the roller, provided in its outer face around the axle-hole with a daring groove, and a cap frictionally held in 9 said groove, substantially as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whcreoll have signed my name to this specification in the prcsenccol'" two sub scribing witnesses.
