UNITED STATES PATENT QFFTCEO THOMAS HENRY S'IANSILL, OF ROSEVILLE, \VEST VIRGINIA.
SANDLBOX FOR VEHICLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 787,409, dated April 18, 1905.
Application filed January '7, 1906. Serial No. 240,021.
To (1 whom, it 712,04 concern:
through the axle-box a in the hub and is pro Be it known that I, Tnonxs TTENRY S'IAN- vidcd with a securing-nut 7) at its outer end.
slLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Roseville, in the county of Fayette and State of Test Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sand-Boxes for Vehicles, of which the following is a specili cation.
This invention relates to sand-boxes for axles of vehicles, such as wheeled roadscrapers or wagons, adapted for excluding sand and dirt from the axle-box and spindle.
The object of my invention is to provide a device of simple construction, preferably cast in a single piece and not liable to get out of order, which can be readily applied to or detached from an axle and hub and which is i transverse section on line 3 3, Fig. 1, looking to the left. Fig. t represents a side elevation of the sand-box. Fig. 5 represents an end view of the hub and sand-box with the axle in transverse section.
The hub A, with spokes (I, is provided at it inner end with an iron band (I, which projects a short distance inward beyond the end of the hub, as shown in Fig. 1. The inner end of the hub is mortised out to form a circular recess (1, which is of a depth equal to the distance between the inner face or edge of the cup 0 and the outer face of the llange or disk g of the sand-box C.
The axle B is preferably square or rectangular in cross-section up to or approximately to the juncture with the end of the hub, as shown in Figs. 1 and 5, and is provided with the usual round spindle I), which passes The sandbox C is preferably made in a single piece of cast iron or steel or wrought metal and is composed of the outer annular cup or concavo-convex disk (2, the central collarf, and the inner flange or disk 9. The outer and larger cup e is of sull'icient diameter to cover the end of the hub, bearing lightly at its edge on the same just inside of the. overlapping band (I, as shown in Fig. l. The inner disk or flange 1 is of substantially the same diameter as the hub-recess (1 and bears at its outer edge lightly on the flat bottom face or wall thereof. The collarf, connecting the outer and inner disks of the device, is preferably made circular at its outer surface and has a central longitudinal opening the outer part c of which is square or rectangular and the inner part c circular, as shown in Figs. I and 2. It is to be noted that the opening c c extends through the outer and inner disks. The circular opening 0 may ex tend only through the inner disk 7 or may extend partly into the collarf, as desired.
At the junction of the square and circular parts of the opening are formed the cornershoulders I), Fig. 2, which serve as bearings for the corners of the square axle B. The disk 1 serves as a bearing-collar for the inner end of the hub and axle-box. The angular opening c prevents the device from turning with the hub, and the corner bearing-shoulders /1 holds the device in place against endwise movement when the hub is secured on the spindle by nut I). Then the sand-box and hub are adjusted on the axle, an interior space or chamber In is formed for receiving any dirt or dust which may pass between the edges of the cup and the hub.
The convex outer surface of the cup c serves todellect any sand or dirt which may fall from the wheel or other place away from the hub is in place and the nut I) screwed onto the spindle. In like manner the device can be readily removed from the axle. There are no detachable parts to work loose and become lost. The device is simple, compact, and efiective in operation.
Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination with an. axle and a 'wheel-hub having an inwardly-projecting band a, of a sand-box device comprislng an outer cup with its edge fitting Within and adjacent to said band, a central collar on the axle and an inner disk or flange projecting outward from said collar and adapted to bear against the end of the axle-box, said cup and disk forming between them a dust-chamber m, substantially as described.
2. A detachable and adjustable sand-box device for excluding sand and dirt from an axle-box, consisting of an outer cup, a central collar having a longitudinal opening,
partly rectangular and artly circular in cross-section, and interior bearing-shoulders, and an inner disk projecting outward from said collar, substantially as described.
3. The combination with an axle and a wheel-hub having an inwardly-projecting band a and a recess in its inner end, of a de tachable sand-box device having an outwardly-projecting flange or disk fitting in said recess, an outer cup bearing against the end of the hub Within its band and a connecting-collar having a longitudinal opening, partly rectan ular and partly circular in crosssection En fitting on the rectangular axle and the circular spindle thereof, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
THOMAS HENRY STANSILL.
