VEHlCLE-WHEEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 759,000, dated May 3, 1904.
Application filed September 15, 1903. Serial No. 173,277- (No model.)
To all whom it marry concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. MITcnnLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Stockton, county of San Joaquin, and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vehicle -VV heels for Heavy Hauling; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to improvements in wheels, and more particularly to that class used on traction-engines and in house-moving or the like; and it consists in the strong and durable construction hereinafter described.
It has for its object to produce a wheel which will not be easily broken or disabled by the jar and strain of heavy hauling. This object I accomplish by means of iron plates put in the place of the spokes and such other devices and combination of devices as will be fully described in the following specification and particularly pointed out in the claims appended.
In the annexed drawings, Figure 1 is a plan elevation of my improved vehicle-wheel for heavy hauling. Fig. 2 is an end view of same shown in section through a line X X of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a reduced detached plan view of a plate to which the hub is attached, showing a suitable central orifice.
Similar figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views.
1 designates thehub, of suitable material, of my improved wheel. 1 designates flanges on same at the ends thereof.
1 designates cross-pieces running longitudinally along the hub 1. at suitable distances apart and forming integral parts of the hub 1 and the flanges 1.
1 designates belts or rivets by which the flanges 1 are fastened to plates 2, hereinafter described.
E2 designates plates of suitable material having central orifices adapted to fit over the hub 1 and the cross-pieces 1, attached to plates 5, hereinafter described, by the bolts or rivets 2. Said plates may be cast over the hub or made in two parts, which after being placed over the hub may be joined by any suitable means.
2" is the suitable central orifice in the plates 2, adapted to lit closely over the hub 1 and cross-pieces 1".
3 represents angle irons attached to the plates 5 in pairs, with a small space or slot between the parts of each pair, by means of rivets 3, said angle-irons 3 being adapted to be attached to and to hold in position cross-plates 1, hereinafter described. One pair of said angle-irons on one face is arranged directly opposite one pair on the other face of the wheel.
3 designates the rivets adaptedto attach angle-irons 3 to plates 4: designates cross-plates of suitable material extending the width of the wheel and provided, with suitable longitudinal tongues 4, adapted to fit into the space between the angle-irons 3 and attached thereto by means of rivets 4:. Said plates 1 are attached at their lower ends to the cross'pieces 1" by means of rivets or bolts 1".
5 designates plates forming outer faces or surfaces of the wheel, to which are attached the plates 2 by means of the rivets or bolts 2 the angle-irons 3 by means of rivets 3", and angle-irons 6, hereinafter described, by means of rivets 6.
6 designates angle-irons connecting a rim or tire 7 to the plates 5 by means of rivets 7 and 6 Having described in detail the different parts of my improved wheel and their relative functions, I will now endeavor to clearly point out wherein my wheel is an improvement over those now in use. It is a well-known fact that Now it can be plainly seen that by the use of the plates 4, attached to the plates 5 by means of angle-irons 3 and rivets 3 and 4 and to the hub by means of crosspieces 1 and rivets or bolts 4, the strain is received equally all over the wheel, and thus there are no vulnerable points, because when the strain falls on one side the plates on the other side being of equal strength and extending from face to face of the wheel receive and withstand an equal part of said strain, and thus tend to neutralize it.
It will be noticed that plates 4 take the place of the usual spokes and are much more durable.
Although I have mentioned the use of angleiron herein, I reserve the right to substitute for it channel-iron if I so desire.
My wheel, of course, maybe provided with suitable grousers, if desired, though they are not shownin the drawings, as I cannot claim them as new.
In practice there may be as many of the cross-pieces 1 and cross-plates 4 as is desirable, but for the purpose of clearly illustrating my invention I have shown eight of each. Neither doI wish to confine myself to the exact number of rivets, bolts, or angle-irons 3 shown in the accompanying drawings.
The plates 5 may have apertures of any suitable size or shape cut in their centers, thus lightening the wheel.
I have entered into a detailed description of the construction and relative arrangement of parts embraced in the present and preferred embodiment of my invention in order to impart a full, clear, and exact understanding of the same. I do not desire, however, to be understood as confining myself to such specific construction and arrangement of parts, as such changes and modifications may be made in practice as fairly fall within the scope of my claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In avehicle-wheel for heavy hauling the combination of a hub 1 provided with flanges 1, cross-pieces 1 forming integral parts of said hub 1 and flanges 1, bolts or rivets 1", plates 2, bolts or rivets 2, angle-irons 3 arranged in pairs, rivets 3, cross-plates 4 provided with tongues 4 adapted to fit between and be riveted to each pair of angle-irons 3 and also riveted or bolted to cross-pieces 1, plates 5, angle-irons 6, rivets 6*, rim or tire 7, and rivets 7 all substantially as set forth.
