ALBERT H. OVERMAN, OF SPRINGFIELD, ASSIGNOR TO THE OVERMAN IVHEEL COMPANY, OF CHICOPEE FALLS, MASSACHUSETTS.
HOLLOW WHEEL-RIM.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 446,189, dated February 10, 1891.
Application filed December 24,1889. Serial No. 334,855. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Beit known that I, ALBERT H. OVERMAN, of Springfield, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new Improvement in Ilollow \Vheel Rims; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with accompanying drawing and the letters 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 the fign re a View in transverse section of one form which a wheel-rim embodying my inyention may assume. My invention relates to an improvement in hollow rims for velocipede-wheels. the object being to produce a simple and stiff rim from a single piece of sheet metal.
IVith these ends in view my invention consists in a hollow wheel-rim formed from a single piece of sheet metal and having its body portion and its bed each containing one of the edges thereof, the said edges being shaped to be united below the edgeof one edge of the rim.
My invention further consists in certain details of construction, as will be hereinafter described, and pointed out'in the claims.
Under myinvention enough metal is taken 0 in at one edge of the sheetanetal strip or blank to form the bed H, which therefore forms a continuation of the body portion B of the rim and contains one edge of the strip. As shown in the drawing, the other edge of the strip is bent inward and downward and shaped to form a shoulder C and a seat I), the latter supporting'the edge of the bed and the former preventing the same from outward displacement when resting upon said seat. The edges of the metal arethus united 40 at a point below the edge of one edge of the rim.
In carrying out my invention the edges of the metal may be united on either the inside of the rim or on the outside thereof, and it is apparent that the edges of the metal may be bent in a variety of Ways in securing them together. I would therefore have it understood that I'do not limit myself to the exact construction shown and described, but hold myself at liberty to make such changes and a1: terations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of my invention Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A hollow wheel-rim formed from a single piece of sheet metal and having its body portion and its bed each containing one of the edges thereof, the said edges being shaped to be united below the edge of one edge of the rim, substantially as described.
2. A hollow wheel-rim formed from a single piece of sheet metal and having its body portion and its bed each containing one of the edges thereof, the edge in the body portion being shaped to form a seat located below the edge of one edge of the rim for the edge contained in the tread to rest upon, substantially as described.
