RESILIENT WHEEL FOR VEHICLES.
Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed December 27, 1-909.
Patented Mar. 21, 1911.
Serial No. 535.013.
load "carried. on each rn power from the s of 'thegwheel to the wheel.;,,. It is found that in order to obtain f suificient resiliency in ,gdepiend for their resiliency only upon the use ofa rubber or pneumatic tire the tire must-if be of large diameter and therefore of considerable weight in zfioroes coming upon it;
liye it known that I, ROBERT T. EVANS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State I b fof Illinois, have invented certain new and ,nseful Improvements in, Resilient Wheels .ifor vehicles,
; specification.
of which the following is a hi'sainvention relates to resilient wheels intended more particularly for use on automobiles and similar vehicles in which the wheel is relatively it is necessary to translar e, and in which axle or central portion pavement through the y solid wheels which order to sustain the and it is further -.found that the use of rubber tires of large 1 diameter greatly increases the skidding tendency o the wheel, by reason of the fact' I that it flattens out when it-comes in contact. with the pavement and retains a thin film 'of slippery material or moist re under it.
An object of this invention is to provide a resilient wheelwhich will obviate the necessity of using a pneumatic or similar "cushion tire of large diameter, but in no ;-way impairing the smooth riding qualities ordinarily obtainedby the use of pneumatic I or similar tires.
A further object of the invention is to ,provide a wheel which will require no lubrication or. attention of any sort, and one which may be used as-thedriving'wheel of I the vvehicle, whether itbe chain or shaft driven.
Another object is to provide a wheel w i'ch when used as a driver will absorb fall shockdue to change of speed of the motor'or engine of the vehicle, or to the application of'the brakes of the vehicle, also to provide a wheel which may be used on the standard form of axle, ordinarily used in vehicles of this type.
My 'improved wheel is provided with springs so: positioned within it that thew variousshocks-and strains coming upon the ywheejl, whether from encountering obstacles in the pavement or due to changes in the speed of the driving mechanism, or due to application of the brakes, will beabsorbed y the springs, on account of the peculiar manner in which they are arranged in the wfheel. and attached to the-solid portions it. I
Further objects will appear from a detailed description of the invention, which consists in the features of construction and combination and claimed. In the drawings, Figure 1 is a sideelevation of a portion of my improved wheel, showing the side plate cut awayat one point to expose one of the springs beneath it; Fig. 2', asectional elevation of the wheel; Fig. 3, a detail of one of the blocks for attachin the springs solidly to the rim and hub o the wheel, showing the spring attached to it; Fig. 4, a plan view of one-of theseattaching blocks, and Fig. 5, a detail of one of the ,blocks, the block being inverted from the position shown in Fig. 3 and rotated through an angle of 180. H Y
The wheel has an outer-rim -6, preferahly formed of wood, and having a metal band 7 shrunk on its periphery, the band being provided with a recess for receiving a solid rubber tire 8, preferably of small diameter. The rim 6 is attached to an'innerrim'9,'also preferably of wood, by means of spokes 10 having on their ends pegs 11 for holding them securely to the rims 6 and 9. It is seen that the inner and outer rims, withthe spokes, metal band, and tire, constituteone member of the wheel,which is rigidand practically unyielding in itself.
A solid metal hub 12 can be attached to a shaft or journaled on the end of a shaft,rde-
pending upon whether the wheel is to be driven or driven in any other suitable shaft manner. A flange 13, integrally formed with the hub 12, constitutes a shoulder against which abut filler blocks 14 and 15 of wood or any other suitable material. A cir-.
cular metal band 16 encircles the filler blocks, and is of such width that it comes flush with the outer edges of the filler blocks.
The band 16 is attached to the outer portion of the Wheel by means. of helical springs 17 solidly attached to the band at pneend and to the inner rim at the other end. The method of solid attachment to the bandand a grinding the feculawith potable ,water, ex
press'ing the liquid of the paste, which re sults, and completing the drying under the tem erature of about 90-95 degrees centigra e5 and again grinding the mater al.

aniliar with any form of springs are so attached to the rim and to the plates 18 and 19 enables the springs to be protected from dirt and dust and at the same time serves to guide the upper rim portion of the wheel in its vibrations back and forth with respect to the hub portion. Also, in case of extreme movements, any possible deflection of the springs might be resisted by their coming in contact with the side plates.
Although I am familiar with resilient wheels in which use is made of springs for accomplishing resiliency, still I am not fawheel in which the band-that they will be given the strength which it is evident my springs will possess, by reason of the peculiar manner in which I attach them. The necessity for their being properly attached in their end portions willbe readily appreciated by any one familiar with the stresses coming upon wheels used in automobile or similar'services, in which not only the jarring and jolting occasioned by passing over obstacles is encountered, but also in which the torsional forces occasioned by application of power and the setv ting of brakes are encountere I claim In a resilient wheel for vehicles, an inner the hub, a filler block on each side of the flange, a band surrounding the filler blocks and the flange, and circular side plates attached to the filler blocks and the flange and projecting beyond the band, and an outer rim portion comprising an'inner ring and an outer ring firmly attached together, the inner ring movably contained between the circular side plates, and the inner ring connected with the band which surrounds the filler blocks and the flange, of radial springs,
