Abstract
An improved drive wheel mechanism for performing further power transmission from the outer end of an axle shaft (11) up to a drive wheel rim (15, 23) for light turning of a drive wheel comprises, in addition to an original wheel disc (13), a separate wheel disc (14, 21) connected to flange (12) of an axle shaft through a hub thereof at one end and connected to a rim (15, 23) of a drive wheel through a rim thereof at the other end to serve as a means for transmitting drive power to said drive wheel rim. A separate disc (14) for a semi-floating axle shaft will be placed outside said original wheel disc (13) for firmer connection to the flange of said axle shaft than to said original disc with the rim (15) of said separate disc splined to fit securely into the rim of said drive wheel. A separate disc (21) for three quarter or full floating axle shaft will be placed outside said original wheel disc with a hub thereof connected to flange (12) of the axle shaft and the rim (24) thereof connected to said drive wheel rim.
Description
DESCRITPION
ENERGY SAVING DRIVE WHEELS
"technical Field
This invention relates to automobiles, specifically to an improved drive wheel mechanism for an automobile to run more smoothly, lightly, fastly, and energetically with less fuel and less gas emission.
Background Art
Automobiles cαne in various, different models every day with ultras modern mechanism for convenience's sake. But we see little improvement in energy saving devices that facilitate an autcmobile to run quite lightly and econcmically. Carmakers have paid little attention to the study of the function of a wheel frcm a point of a natural law. All they have applied is to just link a rear axle shaft to the hub of a rear drive wheel for just running, that is, to have the power train just end at the hub of a drive wheel by connecting a flarge of the outer end of a rear axle shaft to the hub of a rear drive wheel through bolts and nuts. This ethcxi indicates that a rear wheel should be turned by a drive powertwisting the hub of the wheel. This is not scientific. This applicant, therefore, finds it desirable to have an autcmobile so improved in wheel system as a wheel chair can easily be turned by pushing its rim and durable that it may run much more lightly and strongly with less fuel than prior art.
Disclosure of Invention
This invention is developed in compliance with a natural law, the principle of the wheel and axle like a lever, to turn a drive wheel most
efficiently and econcmically by mechanically pushing the rm of the wheel. The principle of the wheel and axle says in shcrt that a larger wheel (R) is easier to turn by the rim than to turn a smaller one (r) by the rim, when both. heels are fixed together on an axle, providing a following related formula: artall Large r W x r = F x r F = W x R W: weight r: radius
F: force
R: radius This principle is also applicable to drive wheel system.
In order to transmit drive power from the outer end of an axle shaft to the rim of a drive wheel it is necessary to set up a separate wheel disc or cranks linking between the flange of said axle shaft and the rim of said drive wheel. The original wheel disc should support the weight of a car, while the separate disc transmit drive power from said axle shaft -up to the rim. At all possible the original disc should be so connected to the flange of an axle shaft that drive power may not act upon the original disc or that drive power may act upon both the separate and the original discs at the same time, based on the finding that a left foot pedal can generate the same torque as a right foot pedal of a bicycle, even if the pedaling power of the former is to be transmitted to the rim of a big gear through a crank axle and through the right foot crank, when both the rim of the big gear and the crank axle are connected to the right foot crank. A perfect e bexJiment of this invention acccmmodated with a separate driving member that pushes a rim of a drive wheel for turning the wheel will surely carry out its function in accordance with the principle of the wheel and axle. For better understanding of this a crank, instead of a separate disc, may be connected between the flange of the axle shaft and the rim of a drive wheel with the hub of the drive wheel
isolated frcm the flange. Then, the power train will end at the rim, and the wheel will perform a rotary motion with much reduced power in accord¬ ance with the referenced principle. It is certain, therefore, that a perfect embcx±iment will save drive power by 30 to 70 per cent and, as a result, save fuel by that much.
This applicant, therefore, claims the following as h s objects and advantages of the invention: to provide a mechanism for an automobile capable of rolling more lightly, energetically even with reduced energy, to provide a mechanism for carrying heavier load, to providea mechanism for speeding up, to provide a mechanism for lengthening its durability, to provide a mechanism for eliminating excessive poluted gas emission, and to • provide a mechanism for saving substantial amount of fuel. Readers will find further objects and advantages of the invention from a consideration of the ensuing descriptions and the accompanying drawings.

Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention
An autcmobile has an improved drive wheel mechanism comprising a separate wheel disc (14, 21) connected between the flange (12) of the axle shaft and the hub of the separate disc (14, 21) at one end and the rim of the separate disc (14, 21) and the rim (15, 23) of a drive wheel at the other end to serve as a means for solely transmitting drive power from thesaid flange (12) to the rim (15, 23) of a drive wheel for easier turning of the wheel. Depending on types of floating axles there are at least two types of separate wheel discs, A separate wheel disc for a semi floating axle shaft has four or five holes (18) in its hub for four or five bolts (16) of the flange of the axle shaft having a central boss (17) holding the hub of a drive wheel and propping the weight of the autcmobile and its rim (15) splined to fit into the rim of a drive wheel. This detachable, separate disc (14) will be placed outside the original disc (13), bolted together with said original disc to the flange (12) of the axle shaft, with its rim (15) splined to the rim of said drive wheel for operation. A separate dis
(21) for three quarter or full floating axle shaft has several holes (25) in its hub for joining to the flange of said axle shaft and several holes (24) in its rim for joining to the rim (23) of a drive wheel with bolts and nuts for operation. While the above description contains one specificity each, the reader should not construe it as limitations on the scope of the invention, but merely as errplifications of preperred embodiments thereof. Those skilled in the art will envision many other possible variations are with in its scope. For example skilled artisans will readily be able to change the dimensions and shapes of the various embcxiiments. They can make the drive wheel a little larger for better, easier rolling in accordance with the principle of the wheel and axle. They can replace a separate disc with a crank or cranks spaced around to fit to the rim of a drive wheel. Accordingly the reader is requested to determine the scope of the invention by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, and not by the examples which have been given.
