I, NATHAN GOLD KIMBERLEY, of Springfield Road, New Southgate, in the
County of Middlesex, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to those bearings wherein the weight of the load as
well as the thrust or side pressure are taken on a bearing provided with two
sets of tapering rollers.
In my improved bearing the axle is provided with two taper paths for the
tapering rollers to run on one of these taper paths is formed on or connected to
the axle for one set of my tapering rollers to run on the other taper path for
the second set of tapering rollers to run on is formed separate but connected to
the axle in a suitable manner to render it capable of adjustment.
A projection is formed on or connected to the larger end of each of the taper
path to retain the tapering rollers on their proper paths.
The adjustable taper path must be locked or retained at its proper distance
from the taper path formed on or connected to the axle for the first set of tapering
rollers to run on.
The rollers of both sets of my tapering rollers are formed at a suitable taper
to correspond with the taper on their inner and outer rolling paths. Each set of
tapering rollers are held in position between 2 rings through which the pins
projecting from each end of the rollers pass these rings are fixed at a suitable
distance apart thereby forming a cage or frame for each set of tapering rollers
by which cage or frame the rollers while being free to revolve are retained in
their proper places and kept from rolling or rubbing contact on their outer
surface with anything except their inner and outer taper rolling paths.
The outer taper paths for my tapering rollers to run on may be formed on
inserted within or connected to the outer case of my bearing.
The outer case may be formed in one or more parts to suit the material it.
is made of the connections to be attached to it or the position or place within
or to which it is to be connected or fixed.
To exclude dust I may close that end of my bearing through which the axle
has not to project with a cap the other end of my bearing and the ends of all
bearings through which the axle is required to pass and project from the case
may be closed with a washer of felt or other suitable material held in position
by a cap suitably connected to the case having an opening in the centre for the
axle to pass through.

I, NATHAN GOLD KIMBERLEY, of Springfield Road, New Southgate, in the
County of Middlesex, 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:-
My invention relates to those bearings wherein the weight of the load as
well as the thrust or side pressure are taken on a bearing provided with two
sets of tapering rollers.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying sheet of drawings wherein
Fig. 1 represents in section a railway axle bearing and Fig. 2 shows in section
a bearing suitable for carriages carts, and other vehicles.
In my improved bearing the axle A is provided with two taper paths a and B
for the tapering rollers H to run on one of these taper paths is formed on (as in
Fig. 2) or connected to (as in Fig. 1) the axle A for one set of my tapering
rollers to run on the other taper path 13 for the second set of tapering rollers
to run on is formed separate but connected to the axle A in a suitable manner
to render it capable of adjustment.
A projection c is formed on or connected to the larger end of each of the
taper paths a and B to retain the tapering rollers on their proper paths.
The adjustable taper path B must be locked or retained at its proper distance
from the taper path a formed on or connected to the axle A for the first set of
tapering rollers to run on by a lock nut D with or without the taper cotter E
or the washer For other suitable means.
The rollers H of both sets of my tapering rollers are formed at a suitable
taper to correspond with the taper on their inner a and B and outer L, L rolling
paths. Each set of tapering rollers are held in position between two rings K,K,
through which the pins J projecting from each end of the rollers pass these
rings K, K are fixed at a suitable distance apart thereby forming a cage or
frame for each set of tapering rollers by which cage or frame the rollers H
while being free to revolve are retained in their proper places and kept from
rolling or rubbing contact on their outer surface with anything except their
inner a and B and outer L, L, taper rolling paths.
The outer taper paths L, L, for my tapering rollers H to run on may be formed
on inserted within or connected to the outer case G of my bearing.
The outer case G 'may be formed in one or more parts to suit the material
it is made of the connections to be attached to it or the position or place within
or to which it is to be connected or fixed.
To exclude dust I may close that end of my bearing through which the axle A
has not to project with a cap M. the other end of my bearing and the ends of
all bearings through which the axle A is required to pass and project from the
case may be closed with a washer N of felt or other suitable material held in
position by a cap O suitably connected to the case G having an opening in the
centre for the axle A to pass through.
Having now described the nature of my invention and shown methods of
carrying the same into practise, I declare that what I claim is:-
Firstly. A roller bearing having two sets of tapering rollers running in pins
whose projecting ends pass through side rings fixed at a suitable distance apart
thereby forming a cage or frame to retain the tapering rollers in their proper
positions the bearing being provided with inner and outer taper roller paths

page_text: one of the inner taper paths to be capable of adjustment, substantially as and for
the purposes herein described and illustrated.
2ndly. The general combination and arrangement of parts constituting the
improved roller bearing for railway axles herein before described and illustrated
in Fig. 1 of the drawings attached hereto.
3rdly. The general combination and arrangement of parts constituting the
improved roller bearing for carriages carts and other vehicles herein before
described and illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawings attached hereto.
Dated this 2nd day of February 1899
