Title: Improvements in Devices for Setting or Fixing Rubber Tires to Vehicle Wheels.
Inventor: HADDAN HERBERT JOHN
Filed: 1899-07-25
Granted: 1899-12-23
Abstract: 15,272. Haddan, H. J., [Stewart, F.]. July 25. Building wheels,- tyres, elastic other than pneumatic.-Relates to means for securing rubber tyres on vehicle wheels. Fig. 1 shows in plan a table employed to place the rubber R under compression on the attaching-wires w. The requisite length of rubber is placed in a groove between the scale 2 and plate 3, and the wires are passed through it. The wires are at one end fastened to a clamp 10, and the other ends pass loosely through a second clamp 40, which abuts against a stop 34, and they are secured to a third clamp 16 which can be pulled along the groove by turning the handle 21. When the rubber is sufficiently compressed between the clamps 10, 40, the clamp 40 is tightened and the tyre with the clamps 10, 40 is removed from the table to the wheel rim. The projecting ends of the attaching-wires are then stretched, by means of the apparatus shown in elevation in Fig. 4, until they overlap. The yoke 31, which slides vertically and turns about the axis 30, has screw bolts 33, 35 by adjusting which the clamps 10, 40 are moved and the attaching-wires w are given the requisite tension, after which the overlapping ends are soldered together. The clamps are then released, and the rubber is extended equally along the wires w, by means of wires 37, shown in Fig. 11, which are passed under the rubber. Each wire has a cross-bar 38 which hooks on to a rod 44 pivoted between the plates 41 of a post 40. As the wheel is slowly revolved, the rubber is temporarily stretched out of position by the wires 37, and is pressed along the attaching-wires by the roller 42.
