COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Means for Protecting the Felloes for Vehicle
Wheels.
We, SAMUEL OLDERSHAW of No. 2 Bell Lane Leicester Blacksmith, and
WILLIAM LAKIN Wheelwright of No. 10 Sussex Street also of Leicester, in the
County of Leicester, 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 an improved means for protecting the felloes for vehicle
wheels, such felloc protector being a rim arranged on the felloes in the manner
hereinafter described and shown in the drawings hereunto annexed in which:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a section of a felloe A, faced with the protecting rim
of half round iron or protector B, and secured in the counter sunk holes C, by
screw pins C, held by the nuts C2 in the back of felloe.
Figure 2 is a view in cross section of the felloe of a vehicle wheel A, and of the
previous figure.
Figure 3. represents in cross section, the protector B having a square edge.
Figure 4. is a cross section of the protector B made with oval iron.
Figure 5 in this cross section, the protecting rim B has a double beveled edge,
converging to the felloe A.
Figure 6. is another cross section, the protector B, being made with a flat outer
face and flush with the felloe A, at the bottom.
Figure 7. shows in cross section the protecting rim B, of bevelled iron secured
by two screws C¹.
Figure 8 is a triangular cross section of the rim B.
The foregoing illustrations represent some of the many surface shapes or forms
that the protector may assume without departing from our invention of a felloes
protector for vehicle wheels.

page_text: Or other such shape as may be required to be put on the face, or both face and
back of felloes and which is secured thereon by counter sunk pins, preferably wood
screws C', and lock nut C2, as shown.
The protector, or protecting rim B may go all round the felloes of the wheel,
or any part of them as may be required, the said protector projects out from the
felloes of the wheel and is adaptable to all classes of road vehicles.
It will be well understood upon reference to the drawings that any size rim of
iron can be employed according to the width of the felloe; when the rim has been
made secure to the whole, or only parts of the face of the felloe by the wood
screws or pins C, put into the counter sunk holes C, they are then secured by the
lock nut C, the wheel is then painted, lined and finished in any desired way.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:
1. In protectors for the felloes of vehicle wheels, a rim of half round, square, flat,
round, or with bevel edge oval or other iron; adapted to fit the face, or face and
back of the felloe in the manner shown and described.
2. The improved means as herein shown and described for protecting the felloes
for vehicle wheels, substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
