PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Means or Apparatus employed in the Manufacture
of Wheels of Vehicles.
I JAMES ARNOTT, of 15 Park Place Leeds in the County of York, Inventor, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to means or apparatus employed in the manufacture of wheels
for vehicles for which Letters Patent were granted to me Nov. 26th 1888 No. 17182
and its object is to place the annular india-rubber cushion or ring referred to in the
Specification of the aforesaid Patent, between the two projecting parts or flanges of the
nave without the necessity of dividing or separating the india-rubber cushion or ring
or making the nave in sections.
For the above purpose I provide a hollow cone of suitable size for the india-rubber
cushion or ring, before it has been stretched, the larger diameter of such cone being
the same as that of the projecting flange over which such ring has to pass prior to
entering the annular space or groove provided for it.
The cone being placed in position on the nave covering the same as far as one of
the collars, such cone being held in position by a suitable clamp or clamps, and in this
state the rubber cushion or ring is placed on the small end of the cone and then
subjected to pressure, sufficient to force it into the required position.
A washer of suitable size is placed on the uppermost end of the ring through which
the pressure when brought into action, forces the cushion or ring on to the cone.
Suitable changes of washers have to be applied as the expansion of the ring
goes on.
The pressure is continued until the ring is forced over the large end of the cone,
when it readily passes into the annular space or groove provided for its reception.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Means or Apparatus employed in the Manufacture
of Wheels of Vehicles.
I, JAMES ARNOTT of 15 Park Place, Leeds in the County of York, Inventor, 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:-
My invention relates to means or apparatus employed in the manufacture of wheels
for vehicles, for which Letters Patent were granted to me Nov. 26th 1888, No. 17182
and its object is to place the annular india-rubber cushion or ring referred to in the
Specification of the aforesaid Patent, between the two projecting parts or flanges of
the nave without the necessity of dividing or separating the india-rubber cushion or
ring, or making the nave in sections.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section and Fig.
elevation shewing my improvements.
an end
For the above purpose I provide a hollow cone A of suitable size for the india-rubber
cushion or ring B before it has been stretched; the larger diameter of such cone A
being about the same diameter as that of the projecting flange C of the nave D, over
which such ring has to pass prior to entering the annular space or groove D¹.
The cone A being placed in position on the nave D, as shewn covering one of the
.._n
3.1.7.

page_text: flanges or collars C, is held in that position, the nave having been previously passed
onto a screwed pillar E, then the rubber ring is placed on the small end of the cone,
and subjected to pressure sufficient to force it up such cone.
A washer F is placed on the uppermost end of the cushion or ring, and through
this the pressure is conveyed which forces the cushion or ring up the cone A.
Suitable changes of washers F are applied as the expansion of the ring or cushion
goes on when forced up the cone.
The pressure is continued until the cushion or ring is forced over the large end of
the cone, when it readily passes into the annular space or groove.
The pressure above referred to, may be produced by means of fly wheel or lever,
provided with a nut E' engaging into a screw on the pillar E, such nut being brought
to hear on the bridge G such bridge transmitting that pressure to the washer F and
thence to the ring or cushion.
When preferred hydraulic pressure may be employed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
The arrangement and application of cone A and washer F applied and operated
substantially as herein set forth, for placing the cushion or ring B in the annular space
or groove Ď¹.
