SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 755,280, dated March 22, 1904.
Application led December 16, 1903. Serial No. 185,350. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern,.-
Be it known that I, MYRON H. DETRICK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sterling, ,in the county of Whiteside and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Vehicle-Axles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates particularly to motorvehicle axles; and my primary object is to provide a driving-axle for .motor-vehicles which shall have all the strength of a continuous axle, thereby rendering trussing unnecessary, and which also shall permit of the same size axle-bearings being used at the two sides of the vehicle. Incidentally the improved construction permits of ready assembling and disconnection of the parts.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawing.
In the construction shown, A represents an axle-section having its inner end upset to form a head or collar a; A', an axle-section having its inner end upset to form an enlargement 0; and a ange fat thebase of said enlargement; A2, a sleeve journaled on the inner portion of the section A and having an enlargement or bell end a3, receiving the head a and enlargement a and terminating in a iiange abutting against the flange a? and firmly secured thereto by bolts a5; B, a bevelgear keyed to the axle-section A; B', a bevelgear facing the gear B and keyed to the sleeve A2; C, an interposed pinion-carrying member journaled on the axle-section A and equipped with pinions c, meshing with the gears B B;
D, a sprocket-wheel xed to the member C' (which it drives) and journaled on the axlesection A, and E a collar conning the sprocketwheel against the hub of the gear B.
The relative lengths of the axle-section A, the axle-section A and the sleeve A2 (virtually forming an extension of the section A') may be as desired, although it is essential that the sleeve be of suitable length to afford sufficient bearing to prevent objectionable wear and overcome all danger of breakage. The axle-sections may be forgings and the sleeve itself may be a bored forging, if desired, al-
though ordinarily cast-steel will be found to be of ample strength without being objectionably heavy. rIhe enlarged end portion a of the axle-section A' has screw connection with the bell a3 and is additionally secured by a wedge-shaped cotter-bolt d.
While it is preferred to have such connections between the axle-section Al and sleeve A2 as to prevent possibility of injury and-insure readiness of disconnection, yet any particular form of connection may be dispensed With, if desired.
It will of course be understood that the outer end portions (not shown) of the axle-sections A and A pass through suitable antifrictionbearings of uniform size and into wheel-hubs of uniform size.
i Changes in minor details of construction within the spirit of m y invention may be made. Hence no undue limitation should be understood from the foregoing detailed description.
What I regard as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
' l. In a device of the character described, the combination of an axle-section, an axlesectionY in alinement therewith and equipped with a sleeve extension journaled on the firstnamed section, means being provided for conining the sleeve against longitudinal movement with relation to said first-named axlesection, and differential gear mechanism havingl a gear connected with said first-named axle-section and a gear connected with said sleeve extension, for the purpose set forth.
2. In a device of the character described, the combination of an axle-section provided at its inner end with a head, an axle-section having its inner end provided with ahead adjacent to said first-named head, a sleeve extension secured to said second-named axle-section and recessed to receive said heads, and differential gear mechanism having a gear connected with said irst-named axle-sectionv and a gear connected with said sleeve extension, for. the purpose set forth.
3. In a device of the character described, the combination of an axle-section provided at its inner end with a ianged head, an axlesection having an enlarged end abutting gear mechanism having a gear xed to the fire against said head and provided at the base of end of said sleeve and a gear xed to said rst-4 its enlargement with a fiange, a sleeve having named axlesection, for the purpose set forth.
a bell equipped with a ange abutting against MYRON H. DETRICK. the iange of said second-named axle-section, In presence ofmeans detaehably securing the sleeve to the F. M. WIRTZ,
second -named axle -section, and differential WALTER N. WINBERG.
