PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Finishing-planes for Felloes.
I, XAVER BAIER of Munich in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is a contrivance for adjusting the finishing-plane for
felloes to any diameter or profile of felloe and essentially consists of the following
parts:
•
On the coilar, by means of which the apparatus is secured to the nave of the wheel
a vertical shaft is secured to which a displaceable double cross-head guide can be
attached. Through the upper revoluble part of the guide a horizontal rod is passed
which can be fixed therein by means of a set-screw; the other extremity of said rod
carries a vertically revoluble head piece in which said rod is displaceable and
adjustable so as to allow the plane to be adjusted according to the diameter of the
wheel.
The plane is secured to the guide head as follows
:-
Through said head passes a horizontal cross shaft in which the plane is so held as to
le revoluble in two adjustable bearings. To the arm of the plane a screw bolt is
secured hinge fashion at the top. Behind the head an adjustable tube is provided on
the rod. Said tube carries at the top a revoluble bolt in which the screw bolt is
allowed to revolve whose length can be adjusted by means of nuts.
The plane has a vertically adjustable metal plate which rests on the felloe and
allows the plane to be adjusted with regard to the felloe and spokes.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Finishing-planes for Felloes.
I, XAVER BAIER of Munich, in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to finishing planes for felloes and has for its purpose to provide
a plane of this order that can be used for wheels of any diameter and for straight and
slanted felloes.
Reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which like letters indicate
like or corresponding parts,
Fig. 1 is a side view,
Fig. 2. a plan of the improved finishing plane.
Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate a modification thereof.
The plane proper is of known construction.
As shown in the drawing, the coupling plate a, by means of which the apparatus is
secured on the nave, has fixed thereto a shaft b. The journal head e is revoluble in
the vertical direction in the journal ring c which bears on d and is vertically displace-
able therewith. The journal head has displaceable and adjustable therein a rod f;
consequently the plane h can be displaced and fixed with guide rod f corresponding to
the diameter of the wheel. The plane is secured to the guide piece i as follows:
Through the guide head. passes a shaft & which so carries the plane at its base that
the same is capable of turning in the adjustable bearings . The plane has an arm m

piece is provided a displaceable guide tube o adapted to be adjusted and fixed
relatively to the rod f. The tube o carries at the top a bearing p revoluble about n¹
and serving as a guide for the screw bolt mentioned above. The screw bolt is
adjustable in length by aid of the counter nuts q, Figs. 1 and 2.
As illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4, the screw bolt n may be replaced by a simple guide
pina
hinge-fashion connected with arm m and displaceable in a bearing y which is
A set screw w
capable of turning about the shaft pin of a block p provided on tube o.
serves to fix the guide pin a and consequently also the plane in any desired
position.
It is easily understood, that by means of the improved arrangement, any required
position of the plane (inclined, horizontal,) can be effected in a most simple manner
by displacing the tube o and adjustment at the guide head e. The diameter is
adjusted at the latter. To the plane proper is attached at a little metal plate
adjustable in height. This plate bears on the tyre thereby allowing the plane to be
adjusted relatively to the latter and to the felloes of the wheel.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is:
In a finishing plane for felloes, a device allowing the same to be adjusted for
any diameter of wheel and for any profile of felloe, said device being characterised by
the plane proper being secured to a guide rod f, displaceable in a revoluble and
vertically adjustable bearing e, by means of a guide head i through a shaft k revoluble
in bearing, and by means of a bearing p revoluble in a displaceable tube o through
an adjustable screw bolt n or guide pin x and an arm connected hinge-fashion there-
with, the plane proper being vertically adjustable relatively to the felloe by means of
displaceable plates ", substantially as illustrated and described.
