Improvements in Disc Wheels for Vehicles.
ERNEST DOUGILL, 5, Vernon Road, Leeds, Engineer, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The wheel is formed of two stamped discs which may be transversely or con-
centrically corrugated & formed of any material such as steel, iron, aluminium
paper, or any other material that can be compressed or formed between dies or
spun in a lathe and indents formed in the disc to run from the boss or centre
to the rim to give strength to the said dise and the outer portion or rim to be
formed to carry a pneumatic, rubber, or any other composition tyre. The boss
or hub to be formed in one or more parts these parts being attached together
with the two discs in the centre and the two discs may be rivetted or fastened
together near the outer rims.

I, ERNEST DOUGILL, of No. 5, Vernon Road, Leeds, Engineer, 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:
This invention relates to certain improvements in wheels for road vehicles,
and has for its object, the construction of an inexpensive wheel, having a maximum
amount of strength combined with a minimum weight..
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will describe the same
in detail by making reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which,
Fig. 1, represents an elevation of a wheel constructed in accordance with my
invention.
Fig 2, is a section of same through line a, b, and
Fig. 3 is an elevation of a portion of a wheel constructed with discs having
concentric corrugations.
The discs A, A, forming the web and rim of the wheel may be of steel, iron,
aluminium, paper mâché, or other suitable material which will permit of being
pressed between dies, or spun in a lathe, and formed with corrugations B at right
angles to the axle C, as shown by Fig. 1, or concentrically with the said axle as
shown by Fig. 3.
•
The discs A, A, are so configurated that when placed together their outer
peripheries form the rim E, for the reception of a tyre F, of suitable description.

page_text: The boss or hub G, of the wheel is by preference formed in two parts. and pre-
pared internally for receiving the bearing H, of any suitable kind. The two
portions of the hub or boss G, along with the discs A, A, are secured together by
bolts J, J.
On the inner portion of the boss or hub G, I form or secure a brake disc K,
also a chain wheel L, both of the ordinary construction.
The two discs A, A, are further secured together nearer their outer periphery
by rivets or the like M, which are by preference made hollow, that is to say,
a hole passes through each rivet in the direction of its axis, for the purpose of
reducing to some extent the wind pressure that may act on the side of the wheel.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
The construction of a wheel having the web and rim portions formed of
corrugated discs A, A, of any suitable material arranged substantially in the
manner and for the purpose hereinbefore described:
