Locomotives, Traction Waggons, Portable Engines, and the like.
We SYLVANUS EDDINGTON and JOHN EVAN STEEVENSON at New Street Iron
Works, Chelmsford in the County of Essex, Engineers 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 improvement in Road Wheels for Traction Engines,
Road Locomotives Traction Waggons, Portable Engines and the like.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings wherein
Figures 1 and 3 on sheet I and II are front elevations of the wheel.
Figures 2, 4 and 5 are cross sections showing various methods of construction the
same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all these figures. A is a boss
made of any suitable material preferably of cast steel which is turned on the outside
to suit holes in arms b the arms bare cut out of a solid plate of steel or any other
suitable material being flanged on the outside to secure to rim Cand dished to
give lateral or transverse strength to the wheel and bored to suit the boss A.
The Rim C is a simple plate of correct width for the arms bent and welded
rivetted or bolted or held by any other suitable means so as to form a complete
circle.
The boss A is shrunk or fitted into the two sets of arins B and rivetted or bolted or
held together by any other suitable arrangement.
The rim Cis than shrunk or fitted on arms b and rivetted or secured in any suitable
way to arms b.
Having now particularly described and assertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is constructed or performed. We would
observe that we are aware arms have been constructed in a slightly similar way but
