IMPROVEMENTS IN WHEELS FOR VEHICLES
Year: 1885

page_text: I, JAMES MARSHALL of the firm of Marshall Sons and Company Limited
of Brittannia Iron Works Gainsborough in the County of Lincoln Engineers
do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN WHEELS
FOR VEHICLES" to be as follows:-
The object of my Invention is to construct light and strong wheels suitable for
use in Agriculture especially on plantations.
In constructing a wheel according to my Invention I take a sheet metal disc
dished to suit the taper of the axle and flanged on its outer edge or circumference
to receive the rim which can be rivetted thereto, the said disc being preferably
radially corrugated to strengthen it. It has an opening at its centre to receive
the boss, which can be attached thereto by bolting through a flange on the said
boss and the disc and a strengthening ring placed at the inner side around the said
central opening of the disc so that by removing these bolts the boss can be readily
separated from the disc for shipment or other purpose.

page_text: I JAMES MARSHALL of the Firm of Marshall Sons and Company Limited
of Britannia Iron Works Gainsborough in the County of Lincoln Engineers
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :--
The object of my Invention is to construct light and strong wheels suitable
for use in Agriculture especially on plantations-Figure 1 of the accompanying
drawings represents in side view and Figure 2 in transverse section a wheel
constructed according to my Invention.
I take a sheet metal disc A dished to suit the taper of the axle as shewn clearly
in Figure 2 and flanged on its outer edge or circumference at a to receive the rim B
which can be rivetted or otherwise fastened thereto. The said disc is preferably
radially corrugated to strengthen it but it may be uncorrugated if desired-It has
an opening at its centre to receive the boss C. which can be attached thereto by
bolting through a flange c on the said boss and the disc and through a strengthen-
ing ring D placed at the inner side around the said central opening of the disc so
that by removing these bolts the boss can be readily separated from the disc for
shipment or other purposes but I do not limit myself to this exact mode of fasten-
ing to the boss.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
declare that what
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed
I claim is
1st A wheel for vehicles having the boss and rim connected by a dished
and flanged disc substantially as herein before described and illustrated by the
accompanying drawings.
2nd A wheel for vehicles consisting of a dished and flanged disc connected to the
rim by the flanged outer part and connected to the boss by being bolted between a
flange on the said boss and a separate ring substantially as herein before described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 22nd day of October 1885.
