page_text: We, RICHARD MORRIS of Beechfield Doncaster in the County of York, Engineer
and JAMES WOOD of West Stock with in the County of Nottingham Engineer do
hereby declare the nature of our said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN CAST
METAL PULLEYS AND WHEELS to be as follows:-
وو
This Invention has for its object to so construct cast metal pulleys or wheels
that the defects which have hitherto prohibited their general use are obviated.
According to this Invention the rim is cast in one piece and the hub and spokes or
arms or the equivalent thereof are cast in another piece. At intervals on the
interior of the rim attachments are cast to which the outer ends of the spokes or
the like are bolted or otherwise fastened. The arrangement which we prefer for
this purpose is to make reduced ends to the spokes which fit into box-like pieces
(one for each spoke) cast on the rim and with openings at the sides for admitting
the reduced ends of the spokes A bolt or rivet passed through each spoke end
and the box-like piece which receives it secures the parts of the pulley or wheel
firmly together.

We RICHARD MORRIS of Beechfield Doncaster in the County of York Engineer
and JAMES WOOD of West Stockwith in the County of Nottingham Engineer, 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 has for its object, to so construct cast metal pulleys or wheels
that the defects which have hitherto prohibited their general use are obviated.
According to this Invention the rim is cast in one piece and the hub and spokes
or arms or the equivalent thereof are cast in another piece-At intervals on the
interior of the rim attachments are cast to which the outer ends of the spokes or
the like are bolted or otherwise fastened. The arrangement which we prefer for
this purpose is illustrated in the accompanying drawing-Figure 1 shewing the
rim and Figure 2 the boss and spokes-We make reduced ends to the spokes as
at 6 (Figure 2) which fit into box like pieces a (one for each spoke) cast on the.
rim (Figure 1) and with openings a¹ at the sides for admitting the reduced ends
of the spokes-A bolt or rivet passed through each spoke end and the box like
piece which receives it (through the holes a³ ³) secures the parts of the pulley or
wheel firmly together,
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
First. The manufacture of cast metal pulleys or wheels by casting the rim
separately from the hub and spokes and afterwards connecting them together
substantially as herein before described.
Second. A cast metal wheel or pulley made of a rim provided with box like
pieces therein and a boss and spokes cast separately from the rim the spokes having
reduced ends to fit into the box like pieces on the rin substantially as hereinbefore
described.
