We, WILLIAM BOWN, of 308 Summer Lane Birmingham in the County of
Warwick, Manufacturer; and JOSEPH HENRY HUGHES, of Park Lane, Aston,
near Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Machinist, do hereby declare
the nature of our said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE.
OF BEARINGS FOR VELOCIPEDES, CARRIAGES, AND OTHER PURPOSES, to be as
follows:-

F
Our improvements relate more particularly to bearings of the description referred
to in a patent granted to the said Joseph Henry. Hughes No 3531 dated the
19th Sept 1877 and consist in an improved mode or method of producing or of
manufacturing them.
In carrying our invention into effect instead of stamping the cases, bodies, caps, .
plates and other parts of the bearings from hot steel, as in the former case, we cut
out and raise, or form, the said parts of such bearings from sheet steel blanks into
the various shapes required by suitable press tools, such parts of the bearings being
afterwards finished and put together in any suitable manner.
In some cases where extra strength or bulk is required we use a case, lining, or
strengthening part or parts of malleable iron, steel, or other metal.
By our invention we are enabled to produce bearings with greater facility ani
economy than by the means and processes now in use.

the various shapes required by suitable press tools such parts of bearings being
afterwards finished and put together in any suitable manner.
In some cases where extra strength or bulk is required we use a case lining or
strengthening part or parts of malleable iron steel or other metal.
By our invention we are enabled to produce bearings with greater facility and
economy than by the means and processes now in use and the said improved
method of producing such bearings is applicable to bearings for front wheels, back
wheels, pedals and other parts of bicycles, tricycles, carriages and other such like
purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
The manufacture of bearings for velocipedes, carriages or other purposes by
stamping or raising them from sheet steel or metal instead of stamping them from
hot steel as heretofore whereby increased facility and economy of production are
obtained.
