An Improved Appliance or Face-plate for Tyring Wheels.
We HIRAM ATKINSON of No. 9 Wades Yard Albion Street and CHRISTOPHER
ATKINSON of 22 Victoria Place both of Castleford in the County of York
Blacksmiths do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention refers to and consists of an appliance, or face-plate, for attaching
tyres to wheels; for carts, or other vehicles, and consists of the following:-We
make first a circular-box casting, the sides of which are pierced; and near the top
we have a number of hollow bosses; the same is made of a suitable size, so as to
admit naves of wheels of various sizes, for carts, or other vehicles. We attach to
the hollow bosses brackets, or frames, which form the feet; and support the
circular box casting, before mentioned. The top parts of the brackets or frames
are provided with grooves into which we fit a series of arc plates, made in sizes to
suit various sizes of cart, or other vehicle wheels. Into the centre of the circular
box casting, we bolt a wheel tyring screw: provided with a plate, and lever for
screwing, and securing the wheels, during the process of tyring them. In order to
secure the feet more efficiently we form a circular rim of angle-iron into which
they are inserted.
The objects of our invention are to save labour, and afford a more ready, and
efficient means, of attaching tyres, to wheels, of carts, and other vehicles. The
frames or legs being easily taken apart, and the arc plates readily removed,
or exchanged, thereby economizing space, and materials, as well as making the
apparatus or face-plate, more portable to those now generally in use.

An Improved Appliance or Face-plate for Tyring Wheels.
We HIRAM ATKINSON of No. 9 Wades Yard Albion Street and CHRISTOPHER
ATKINSON of 22 Victoria Place both of Castleford, in the County of York,
Blacksmiths, 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 :-
We make a circular box casting the sides of which are pierced and near the top

page_text: are provided a number of hollow bosses, for receiving brackets, or frames, these
Jatter form feet and support the circular box casting. The brackets are bolted at
the feet, to a circular rim, or base, and the top part of the said brackets are
provided with grooves, into which we fit a series of arc plates, made in various
sizes.
In order to make the various parts clear, we furnish the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation and Fig. 2 is the plan; the latter having part of the
arc plates removed in order to show one of the brackets or frames.
In Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, (a), is the circular box casting, made of suitable size
to admit various naves of wheels. (b) are the hollow bosses, and (c) are the
brackets or frames which are provided with grooves (d), into which are fitted arc
plates (e), (e), (e 2). (f) is the circular rim or base, to which the feet of the
brackets or frames (c) are bolted. These support the circular box casting, (a).
In the centre of the latter a wheel tyring screw is provided (9), attached to the
screw (g) is a lever (h) and circular plate (j) for screwing and securing the wheels
during the process of tyring them.
In tyring small carriage wheels we remove the arc plates (e1,) and (2) and
when we have medium sizes we remove (e 2) only. For the largest sizes of wheels
we leave in the whole of the arc plates. The lever (h) and circular plate (j)
having first been removed the wheel is placed on the face-plate and the circular
plate and lever are then screwed down to secure it, then the process of tyring is
completed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is:-
The making an appliance or face-plate as shown in the drawings which is more
portable than those now generally in use.
