SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.,55;1,891 dated December24, uppuaion'mea .rpm 24,' 1 s95. sein No. 547,008. (No modem To @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it knownthatLWINFrELD O. GUNCKEL,
a citizenl Vof '-the- United States, residing at Terre Haute, in the county of Vigo and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Roller-Bearings and I do hereby declare the following to be. afull,- clear, and exact description of the invention,
' such as will enable othersskilled Ain the art ing annular extension c, of chill-hardened- .30
to Whichit appertains to make and use the same. A
This invention relates to roller-bearings for the axles or' car-Wheels; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of theparts hereinafter fully described and claimed; In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of a car-Wheel provided with a roller-bearing according to this invention, the outer coverof l the bearing.beingremoved. Fig. 2 is a section through the same, taken on the line Qca: in Fig. l. A is the axle of a car, and B is a car-wheel journaled on the end of the axle. The wheel B is provided with a central .cavity b, which `n1ay be filled-With lubricatingmaterial, if de- I sired. The cavity bis formed-between't'wo internal flanges C in the Wheel-hub B', ,and each `flange C has onits outer .side a projectmetal. C fare chambers outside the said flanges. rI hese chambers are formed .in the I hub of the wheel concentric with .the axle,
and their'peripheries are chill-hardened and form roller-races. The car-wheel is made of cast-iron or steel, and-the smooth land hard surfaces of the said annular extensions and roller-races are formed by embedding plates of metal in thefmold in which the wheel is cast to chill the metal of the Wheel at the de sired places. 1
E `is the cover for the outer end of the wheel and axle. This cover is provided with a chill-hardened projecting flange e arranged opposite one f the annular extensions c and.
parallel with it when the cover is secured in position.
Fis an annular cover for the inner end of the \\hecll111b. This cover has a chill-hardened' projecting flange: fopposite and parallel'to the other annular extension c. The-groove fl is for the collar on the Wheel-axle 'Lto run in when the axle is provided with a collar.
Gare bolts which pass through holes in the co ers and in the wheel-hub and .secure the covers in position. :1'
Hare large rollers interposed between the ers Hand the roller-races. The rollers H and h are cast in chills to make them smooth and hard'all over. ,The rollers ru'n between 4the projecting annular extensions and flanges c ind) e and c and f at each end of 4the Wheel' I is a' groove inthe-axle A.- One s et of rollers H runs in this groove and prevents the axle from slipping endwi'se out of the hub of the wheel. .The chamber inclosing the groove -I is show smaller in diameter than the other chamber, utilsV is obvious that both chambers may be made of the .same diameter if the 'di anreter of the rollers Hwhich run in the groove axle-and the roller-races, and h are small rollers interposed between'the adjacent roll- I be ncreasedinproportion t'o the depth of thel said groove. The same device may be used tosupport arevolving shaft,the Wheel-y hub Vbeing held 'stationary and then being equivalent to a bearing-block. Whatlclaimisf- .Thecombinatiom lwithv an axle provided with a circumferential groove cfa vhub provided ,with a chamber at each end of it having. outwardly-projecting chill-hardened annular extensions and chill-hardened `roller races; covers secured one at each end of the hub and provided with inwardly-projecting chill-hardened ianges; and chill-hardened rollers H and h running in the said'chambers, the large rollers H engaging with the said groove, substantially as set forth.,
In testimony whereof I afx my in presence of two Witnesses.V
