' with the outer end of the hub, and are turned inwaidly at their ends to enter the outer hollow end ot' the hub. The extreme ends of said bars are attached to a ring 1)', which lits over Athe reduced end of the axle between the axlenut E' and the shoulder of the axle. As herein shown, a washer l; of ordinary form is interposed between said ring and the shoulder of said axle. lhe framejust described is held in place on said axle by reason of the clamping engagement of the ring 1)' between the nut and the shoulder of the axle, said nut being clamped suicient-ly tight against the ring D' to prevent rotation ot' said ring. The frame described not only holds said disk from rotation'relatively tothe axle, but also supports the central part ot' the disk. 'Ihe bars D of saidframe may extend radially outwardly a distance greater than that shown to afford a broader support for the disk. Other means may be employed for connecting the central frame with the wheel-axle E;

The rolllers C4, in conjunction with the track B', constitutes a roller-bearing for the disk en the wheel, and so far as its function as a rollerbearing vis concerned the radial location of said bearing may be varied-that is to say, it may be located closer to or farther from the hub than herein shown. In some instances the bearing may be omitted and the disk supported directly from the axle by means ot' the central frame,comprising, as herein shown,the angular bars D.

In order to counteract' any tendency of the clips C in the lower part of the wheel Jfrom slipping downwardly on the spokes by reason of the outwardly-tapered form of said spokes in the event of such atendency existing, said clips may be bound together by means ol a stiff-wire ring F, (shown in Fig. 1,) attached thereto in any suitable manner.

The construction described is an extrenuily simple one, while at the same time the displaydisk is held lirmly in place and prevented from excessive vibration on thc wheel. Nl oreover, t-he construction is very light and a highly-desiral)le i'eaturc in constructions of this character.

Another important advantage of the construction is that it may be readily applied to any size or type ot' wheel 'and has no parts which mar or disligure the wheel.

2. An a(lvertising-display device for vehicle-wheels comprising a sign-body provided 'with a central opening through which is dcsigned to extend the wheel-hub, means for connecting the sign-body with the wheel-axle, a circular track on the inner face of said signbody between said central opening and the outer margin thereof, and roller-bearings adapted to engage said track and to be supported on the wheel.

3. An advertising-display device for a vehicle-wheel comprising a sign-body, a frame for connecting the body with the vehicle-axle comprising bars extending at their inner ends through said sign-body, Cotter-pins extending through apertures in the inner ends of said bars inside said sign-l iody,said bars extend i ng laterally outwardly from said body and means for attaching the outer ends of said bars to the wheel-axle. i

4. An advertising-displaydevice for a vehicle-wheel comprising a signrbody, means for connecting the sign with the wheel-axle, a circular grooved track attached to the inner tace of said sign-body, and roller-bearings adapted to engage said track and to be supported on the wheel.

5. Anadverting-displaydevice t'orvchielewheels comprising a sign-body provided with a central opening' through which is designed to extend the wheel-hub, a circulaitrack extending' laterally inwardly from the inner face of said sign-body between said central opening and the margin thereof, roller-bearings engaging said track and adapted to be supported on thewheel, and means for preventing rotation ot' thc sign-body.

6. An advertising-display device tor vehiclewheels comprising a sign-body provided with a central opening through which the wheelhub is designed to extend, a circular groeved track extending laterally inwardly r*from the inner face ot' the sign-body between said eentral opening and the margin thereof, rollerbearings adapted to be supported on the wheel and engaging in said grooved track,and means for holding said sign-body from rotation.

7. An advertising-display device for a vehicle-wheel comprising a sign-body. a circular track on the inner face of said sign-body, a plurality ol roller-bearings adapted to be supported on the wheel-spokes and timingage, said track, and a circular ring connecting said roller-laan'ings.

8. An advertising-displaydevice for vehiclewheels comprising a sign-body, a circular groovcd track on the inner l'acc ot' said signbody, the groove ot' which opens radially outwardly, and lwearing-rollers adapled to be supported on the wheel-spolws and lo engage said grooved (rech.
