Wheels for Road Vehicles, and Fittings therefor.
JAMES DAKERS 7 Union. Wynd and 24 Union Row in the County of Aberdeen,
North Britain, Coachbuilder do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in wheels for road vehicles and
in fittings for the same, which are designed to render such more simple in
construction more durable and more easily repaired than as hitherto constructed
and fitted.
In carrying this invention into practice I make a nave hoop or band for the, outer
and inner ends of the nave of iron or steel or any suitable metal. In place of the
ordinary hoop I formn a flange round the inner side of the hoop which bears against,
the end of the nave or hub to form a bearing the hoop extending up the

The projections may be grouped or variously arranged on the inner face of the

tightly together also I make a felloe or joint plate of steel or iron on the inner side.
I make a series of knife edge ribs which penetrates the wood of the felloe when it is
riveted on and keeps it firmly in position.

JAMES DAKERS, 7 Union Wynd and 24 Union Row in the County of Aberdeen
North Britain Coachbuilder 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:

In carrying this invention into practice, I make a nave hoop or band, for the
outer and inner ends of the nave of iron or steel; or any suitable metal. In place of
the ordinary hoop, I form a flange round the inner side of the hoop which bears
against the end of the nave or hub, to form a bearing, the hoop extending up the
face of the nave or hub, to hold the hoop on. 1 form a bead on the outside of
bearing to correspond with the turned face of the nave.

In place of the hoop
the inner flange I form round the hoop, and the outer end of the nave. When the
hoop is shrunk on, the inner flange prevents the splitting of the wood of the nave,
the nave not being turned down to check the hoop, in the inner end. I also form
one or more grooves on the outside surface of the hoop, to receive an indiarubber
band, the band to be made hollow on the inner side and round or square on the
outer.
'
The second part of my invention is to strengthen the joints of felloes of wheels,
in place of the ordinary pin or dowel I make a dowel of brass iron or steel. I form
a cross in the centre, or a round thin plate. I form saw teeth round the outer
edge, or I may raise spikes square or round off each face of the plate, or I may
make the plate or cross separate from the dowel and use them with an ordinary
wood dowel. The projections may be grouped or variously arranged on the inner
face of the joint. When the felloes are put on, and the tyre shrunk the whole is
pressed tightly together, also I make a felloe or joint plate of steel or iron, on the
inner side I make a series of knife edge ribs which penetrates the wood of the felloe
when it is riveted on, and keeps it firmly in position.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Figure 1. is a horizontal view of one modification of my invention, partly in
section showing nave or hub of wheel with indiarubber band attached for relieving
dead shocks. A. A is the flange round the inner side of the hoop. T the hub.
B the bead. Z the hoop. I rubber band. H the hollow and C the groove on
hoop to receive rubber band as shown in Fig. 2 and 3.
Figure 2. and 3 shows my improved nave hoops Z Z.
Figure 6. shows improved dowell pin Y. Y. instead of being round is hollowed
out to form a cross to keep the felloe from turning at the joint.
Figure 5. the thin round plate N with raised spikes F. F. P hole for round
dowell pin.
Figure 7. shows the spikes F. separate which can be variously arranged between
joints of felloes.
Figure 8. shows outside joint plate X the knife cut grooves
Fare spikes.
Gare rivet holes.
Figure 4 shows part of the wood, or rim of wheel. O the felloe. R is the joint.
N is the thin plate. F the spikes. P the pin or dowell. G the rivet. X the
joint plate in position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be carried out, I would remark tha
I am aware, that it is not new for to put a rubber band on a hoop of a wheel, and
to this alone I make no claim but what I consider novel and desire to secure by
Letters Patent is,
Firstly. The formation of flange A on a nave band, and bead B. and groove
or grooves C. as hereinbefore described and shown in Fig. 1. 2. and 3.
Secondly. Rubber band I. and hollow H. in combination with flange A and
groove C for to relieve dead shocks.
Thirdly. The cross or hollowed dowell pin, Fig. 6. Y. Y. as specified.

page_text: Fourthly. Thiu round plate N. with spikes F. F. with round or square dowel
pin P. as specified.
Fifthly Fig. 7. Spike F. as specified.
Sixthly. Felloe plate X. with knife cut grooves on inside as hereinbefore
described and shown.
