PROVIDIONAL DRIFICATION
Improved Method of Fastening Tyres on the Wheels of Railway and
like Vehicles,
I, CASPER HEINRICH FRIEDRICHI HUSER, of Bruckhausen, Rheinprovinz,
Germany, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The usual methods of fastening the tyres to wheel bodies have the disadvantage
that the means for fastening weaken the wheel tyre and thus produce or tend to
produce breakages.
Even the fastening by means of retaining rings, does not obviate this draw-
back, as illustrated in Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings, the ordinary place
of breakage being indicated at a.
Fig. 2 shows a portion of a finished wheel with the tyre fastened in accordance
with this invention and Fig. 3 shows the tyre in process of fastening. The wheel
tyre R (Fig. 3) is turned smooth inside and is fitted with a ring e which is also a
close fit on the wheel rim K. This ring c is welded to the wheel tyre by electrical
means in the usual manner at the groove c', and there is thus produced, without
any weakening, a fastening which allows of a much more considerable amount of
wear.
At d there may be inserted an incombustible cord such as asbestos which serves
to prevent the metal from flowing into the joint between the wheel tyre R and the
wheel rim K.

as illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings filed with my Provisional Specification,
in which the ordinary place of breakage is indicated at a.
Fig. 2 shows a portion of a finished wheel with the tyre fastened in accordance
with this invention, and Fig. 3 shows the tyre in process of fastening.
The wheel tyre R (Fig. 3) is turned smooth inside and is fitted with a ring c
which also fits the wheel rim K closely. This ring c is welded to the tyre at the
groove c¹ by electrical means of known kind, and there is thus produced, without any
weakening, a fastening which allows of a much more considerable amount of wear.
At di.e., in the space bounded by the tyre R, the rim K, and the ring C-there
may be inserted a cord of incombustible material, as asbestos, which serves to
prevent the metal from 'flowing into the joint between the tyre R and the rim K.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said.
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
1. Fastening tyres on the wheels of railway and like vehicles by welding
fastening rings to the tyres by electrical means, substantially as described and
shown.
2. In fastening tyres on the wheels of railway and like vehicles according to
Claim 1, inserting a cord of incombustible material, as asbestos, in the space
bounded by the tyre R, the rim K and the ring C, for the purpose of preventing
the metal from flowing into the joint between the tyre R and the rim K.
