J AUSTING WOODEN HUB FOR VEHICLES.

WITNE'EBEE ATENT OFFICE.
JOSEPH AUSTING, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.
woooEN HUB FOR VEHICLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 570,215, dated October 27, 1896. Application filed February 12, 1896. Serial No. 578,999. (No model.)
To an whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH AUSTING, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wooden Hubs for Vehicles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in wood hubs for vehicles. Its object is to provide an economical means, which is readily applicable to any of theWell-known forms of wood hubs, to effectively prevent the oil or other lubricant used from saturating the wood. This object I attain by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in connection with which the invention will be first fully described and then particularly referred to and pointed out in the claims.
Referring to the drawings, in which like parts are indicated by similar reference-letters wherever they occur throughout the various views, Figure 1 is a diametrical section al view of a well-known form of wood hub incased in a metal shell provided with my improvements. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the common wood hub used upon heavy vehicles. Fig. 3 is a similar view of the rear end of a buggy or carriage hub provided with my improvements. Fig. 4 is a similar view of the outer end of a Wooden hub fitted with an ordinary metallic point-band and having my improvements attached.
In the different views,A represents a wooden hub; B, the axle-box, fitting the central bore of the hub and having its forward end extended slightly beyond the bore in the hub which seats it, and in Fig. 1 0 represents the metal shell, which incases the wooden hub. These parts as described are of ordinary construction. The only difference between these and the old form is that the'forward end of the axle-box, as shown, projects beyond the bore in the wooden hub.
My improvedmeans for preventing the lubricant from saturating the wood consists of the sheet-metal shells D and D, which protect the rear end of the hub, and the sheetmetal shells or cups E, which protect the outer end of the wooden hub. In all the views the sheet-metal shells are centrally perforated to tightly fit over the ends of the axle-box.
In Fig. 1 the rear shell snuglyfits within the metallic shell 0, and its inturned flange d passes tightly over the rear end of the axlebox B. Ordinarily the shell, which is made of light-sheet metal, is forced into the end of the box and Will be held by frictional contact, but for additional security screws or nails are driven through the flange d into the Wooden hub, as shown. I
In Fig. 2 the shell D fits against the end of the hub and tightly over the end of the axle-box, the rim cl of the shell fitting as a collar over the end of the hub and is held in place by a ferrule a, which is driven onto the hub over the rim d.
In Fig. 3 the shell D is of the same form as in Fig. 2, and applied in the same way, except that the rim d fits over the ferrule ainstead of under it, as shown in Fig. 2, and as an additional fastening nails are driven through the flange into the wooden hub.
In Fig. 1 the shell E snugly fits within the point of the metallic shell 0 and has an inturned flange c,which is centrally perforated and tightly fits over'the projecting end of the axle-box B, and as an additional fastening has nails driven through the flange a into the end of the wood hub. In Fig. 2 the shell E fits within the counterbored end of the wooden hub A, its inturned flange e fitting tightly over the projecting end of the axlebox, as in Fig. 1. This shell has an outwardly-turned flange e, which covers the end of the wooden hub and the metal ferrule or collar a. Tacks or screws are driven through the flange c into the wooden hub as an additional fastening.
In Fig. 4, which is the forward end of the ordinary wooden buggy-wheel, fitted with the ferrule or point-banded, the shell E snugly fits within this point-band and its inturned flange e bears against the end of the wooden hub A,the end ofthe bOXB projecting through the opening in the shell and the shell being secured by screws or nails.
It will be seen that the shells D, D, and E may be either-spun or struck up from light sheet metal to the size desired and to the shape of the hub ends, and when forced to box and completely covering thewooden portions of the hub, substantially as shown and described.
2. A sheet-metal cap or case adapted to fit Within the ends of the hub and centrally perfoi'ated to snugly fit over the projecting ends of the axle-box, substantially as shown and described.
