JOHN ALLEN .HEANY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
WHEEL FOR VEHICLES.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 616,463, dated December 27, 1898.
Application filed March 5, 1898. Serial No. 672,758. (No model.) I
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN ALLEN HEANY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, haveinvented certain Improvements in \Vheels for Vehicles, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making-part hereof.
The nature and object of my invention will appear from the following description and claims.
In the drawings, Figure l isaside elevation of a wheel containing my improvement; Fig. 2, a crosssectional View of my stiff felly and stiff inner rim, showing also my looped-up open bands for holding them together and metallic U -shaped loops for holding the bands in place; Fig. 3, a detached elevation of one of my U-shaped metallic loops, showing bicycle-screw attachments for securing them; Fig. 4, a perspective view of one of my rectangular bands, the enlargement of two of its opposite edges being shown.
A is the hub; B, the radiating spokes; O, the stiff inner rim; D, the felly. Both rim and felly are stiff and are constructed of wood, metal, or other suitable material.
E is the rubber tire, sprung into a groove F, sunk' into the outer surface of felly D. The sides forming this groove F flare outwardly to permit easy adjustment of the tire.
G G are rectangular elastic bands of indiarubber, two of the opposite edges of which are enlarged, as at H H, Fig. 4..
I I are metallic U -sh aped loops, here shown of wire and provided with screw-threaded ends J J.
K K are bicycle-screws engaging over the screw-threaded ends of loops I I.
L L are grooves in the inner face of felly D, and L one in the outer face of rim 0.
In constructing a Wheel with my device I first secure the bands by the two enlarged edges in place against the felly, the loops I being compressed by screws K, forcing the bandsinside their enlarged edges into grooves L L. Loops I are now applied and the middle of each band (longitudinally of rim O) is thus forced into groove L. The bands G G are thus tightened up at a desired tension, and the middle or inner rim is held suspended concentrically within the felly D. If any one of these bands G becomes detached or broken or lost, it is a simple matter to reattach or replace it, and can be done in a few minutes.
It will be observed that the bands G are open fiat sheets of rubber. Screws K are practically elongated nuts. To the skilled mechanic various means to secure these bands G in place will suggest themselves.
What I claim as new is- 1. In a wheel for vehicles, the combination of hub A; spokes B; inner rim O; felly D; elastic rubber bands G G, secured between said felly and rim; screw-threaded loops I and nuts K, all arranged and operating sub stantially as described.
2. In a wheel for vehicles, the combination of hub A; spokes B; inner rim C; felly D; elastic rubber bands G G, two of the opposite edges of which are provided with enlargements H H; said bands being secured between said felly and rim, screw-threaded loops I and nuts K, all arranged and operated substantially as described.
JOHN ALLEN HEANY.
