PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Anti-friction Bearings.
JOHN WILLIAM ROGERS 16 Carter Street Walworth in the County of
Surrey Wood Turner do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
According to my invention I place a series of small steel rollers seperated by a
washer of brass or any other suitable material, upon the axle I place a tube which
is exactly fitted and keyed to the axle, we now have an outer shell which forms an
encasement of the roller bearings which is keyed to the hub of the wheel in the

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Anti-friction Bearings.
I JOHN WILLIAM ROGERS 16 Carter Street Walworth in the County of
Surrey, Turner 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 :-
According to my invention I place a series of sets of steel rollers and similar
number of washers which seperate the rollers set by set, around the pintles or nave
portion of the axles there in some cases are held in position by an inner and outer
casing, the inner being fastned to the axle and the outer to the axle box. I can
however do without the aforesaid caseings by letting the rollers bear directly upon
the axel, and the axel box forming the outer cascing. I will proceed to describe
the same as applied with the aid of the accompanying drawings reference to the
letters and figures marked therein.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. (1) is a sectional view of axle box, rollers, washers and fittings.
Fig. (2) is and end view of same without fittings.
A Fig. (1) and 2 shews pintel or journal of axle D. axle box, E E E rollers F
seperating washers, the dotted lines in Fig. (2) shews position of the said
washers.
G Fig. (1) end nut H square holed washer, I set screw J. J axle box lugs, the
whole is fitted together in the following manner. The axle box D is fitted securely
into the stock cf the wheel, and held in position by lugs J, the rollers E and the
seperating washers F are fitted into an annular space between the axle box D the
axle nave C. The nut G is screwed down to the reduced portion of the journal C
securing the axle box D rollers E and seperating collers F, yet allowing them to
revolve freely between it and the axle.color B, the square holed washer H is fitted
on the extreme end of the axle and the set screw I is screwed tightly against it,
thus making the whole of the parts perfectly taut.
In the foregoing Specification I have mearly described the invention in con-
nection with road vehicles, but I intend to apply it to any class of bearings to
which it may be adaptable.

page_text: Having now fully described the nature of my invention and the manner in which
it is carried into effect I claim
The combination of rollers and washers for anti-friction bearings substantially as
described and illusterated in the foregoing Specification & drawings.
