Improvements in Railway and other Wheels and their Mode of
Manufacture.
We, WILLIAM TOZER, of Botolph House, Eastcheap, London E.C., Merchant,
FREDERIC BARRY STANTON and HERBERT STANTON, both of 11 Queen Victoria
Street, London, Engineers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
-
Our invention is as follows:-Our invention relates more particularly to what is
known as disc wheels and especially to the mode of securing or attaching the discs
to the nave or boss: In the manufacture of these wheels, two or more discs may be
used.and the naves may be of cast or wrought iron or steel or other suitable metal
and the discs may be corrugated as described in our previous Patent No. 90921890 or
may be plain or of any suitable form. We now proceed to describe our mode of
forming the boss or nave so as to unite it to the discs; after preparing the discs and
before placing them together we insert a ring or lining piece of metal or suitable
material between the discs to form a distance piece; this ring will serve to keep
the discs apart from one another at the proper space and also prevents the metal
forming the boss from spreading in to the space between the discs during manu-
facture. We then temporarily secure the discs together and form the boss in the
usual way whether wrought or cast.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Railway and other Wheels and their Mode of
Manufacture.
WILLIAM TOZER, Merchant of Botolph House, Eastcheap, London E.C.
FREDERIC BARRY STANTON and HERBERT STANTON, of 18 Bishopsgate Street
and 11 Queen Victoria Street, London, E.C., 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 :-
Our invention relates more particularly to what are known as diso wheels and
especially to the mode of securing or attaching the discs to the nave or boss.
We will describe the manufacture of one of these wheels with reference to the
accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 is a section through a corrugated disc wheel as described in our previous
Patent No. 9092º
Fig. 2 is an elevation of a plain disc wheel.
Fig. 3 is a section through a plain disc wheel.
In the manufacture of these wheels two or more discs A may be used and
the nave or boss B may be of cast or wrought iron or steel or other suitable
metal and the disca A may be corrugated as described in our previous Patent
No. 9092 or may be plain, dished or of any suitable form. We now proceed
to describe, the mode of forming the nave or Boss B so as to unite it to the
discs A-after preparing the discs and before placing them together we insert
a ring or lining piece of metal or suitable material between the discs to form
a distance piece; this ring C will serve to keep the discs A apart from one

page_text: another at the proper space and also prevent the metal forming the nave or
boss from spreading into the space D between the discs during manufacture.
We then temporarily secure the discs together and form the nave or boss in the
usual way whether wrought or cast.
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
'
A ring (or its equivalent). of suitable material which, when placed between discs
of metal forming the centres of wheels, forms a distance piece between the discs and
a containing ring for confining the metal of the nave or. boss (during manufacture)
and forming a part of the nave or boss (after manufacture) substantially as shown
and described.
