HUB BAN D.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 511,783, dated January 2, 1894.

Application filed February 18, 1893. Serial No. 41621876 No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JARED MARIs, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Cincinnati, county of Hamilton, and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in HubBands for Vehicle- WVheels, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in hub bands for vehicle wheels as will appear more specifically as I proceed with the specification, and in the drawings.

I am aware that various devices have been used for the purpose of securing bands on hubs but -none within my knowledge will compare favorably with this either for cheapness or utility when applied to bands made of wrought metal, and is superior to a barb cast on the inside in cast hands because the barb or nail can be clinched down after the band is on and there is no channel in the wood as when the barb cuts its way in driving on.

The bands to which this invention is most applicable are those made of wrought metal either drawn in a press or welded.

The object of this invention is to provide a cheap and efficient means of holding bands on vehicle hubs that will not require separate nails and will be held by nails or barbs that are a part of and attached to the wall of the band, and will require only such tools to apply it to the hub as are found in all shops and that saves nails and in one way of applying requires no labor to fasten other than driving on the wood. The process of accomplishing this consists in certain details of construction of the parts asare more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the drawings and the claims. The process of manufacturing these bands as to the improvement herein claimed is as follows, viz: to place the band whether of wrought iron, steel or other metal on a die and punch aflap of any desired shape leaving it attached to the band. The flap, barb, or attached nail, will in punching be thrown beyond and preferably inside the wall of the band and when so punched they may be driven on; or the flap can be thrown back into place from where it was cut and the band driven into place and the flaps or nails driven down into the wood with a punch and thus nailed securely with nails that always fit to both the wood and band being fast to the latter. Otherwise the flap being made near the end of the band that goes on the hub and is attached to the wall of the band from the point where the power is applied will form an incline that will allow it to be driven on the hub, but will act as a barb to penetrate the woodif forced the other way and therefore will not come off which will save the labor of setting the barbs in as aforementioned. These flaps may be any shape desired. 1, therefore, do not bind myself to any form, though a V-shape seems now most desirable, and I therefore claim any form that comes legitimately within the scope of my invention.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of the band with the flap or attached nail shown at A. Fig. 2 is an elevation of band showing the band in place on the hub. Fig. 3 is a band drawn from a round disk of steel and turned in at the front. Fig. 4 is a similar band not so turned in, each showing my fastening device.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

1. A metal point band for hubs provided with one or more sharp pointed tongues or barbs cut from the wall of the band and adapted to be bent inward at the free end to penetrate the object upon which the band is placed, substantially as set forth.

2. A metal point band for hubs provided with a barb or tongue cut from the wall of the band and adapted to be bent inward and the outer end of the band folded over inward to strengthen and reinforce the band and give it a finish, substantially as set forth.

3. A metal hub or point band made of sheet metal drawn from one piece and the metal turned in at the front to strengthen the band when such bands are supplied with flaps or self-nailing devices, substantially as described.
