Improvements in and connected with Loose Pulleys, Vehicle Wheels
and the like.
We, JAMES MILLS, of 70, Honeywell Lane, Minder, and HENRY AINSWORTH
ST. CLAIR, of 1, Thatcher Street, Commercial Clerk, both of Oldham, in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in loose pulleys, vehicle wheels and the
like and has for its object to provide means whereby a great deal of friction is
obviated between the stationary and rotating parts and the lubrication of the same
greatly facilitated as considerable less attention is required than heretofore has been
the case.
To this end we suitably secure upon the stationary shaft or axle, a bush upon
which we place another bush formed with radial holes and adapted to rotate loosely
upon the first named bush. Upon the last named bush is mounted the pulley or
wheel having also radial holes and around its boss at one or both sides of its arm or
disc, a box formed with an inlet furnished with a plug or the like and adapted to
receive lubricant censistant in form such as grease This box or boxes may form
part of the pulley or wheel or be suitably secured thereto and the lubricant is the
same passes gradually through the said holes between the first and second
named bushes as may be required to keep the said parts cool and ensure easy
running.
The said bushes where required are formed or furnished with suitable collais to
retain the pulley or wheel Interally in position thereon.
Instead of securing the first nained bush upon the shaft or axle it may be employed
loose thereon and also formed with radial holes.

We, JAMES MILLS, of 70, Honeywell Lane, Minder, and HENRY AINSWORTH
ST. CLAIR, of 1, Thatcher Street, Commercial Clerk, both of Oldham, in the County of
Lancaster, 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 relates to improvements in loose pulleys, vehicle wheels and the
like and has for its object to provide means whereby a great deal of friction is

page_text: obviated between the stationary and rotating parts and the lubrication of the same
greatly facilitated as considerable less attention is requned than heretofore has been
the case.
And in order that our invention may be more fully understood we have caused to
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures. Fig. 1 being a longitudinal section and
Fig 2 a cross section showing our invention as applied to a loose pulley
In carrying out our invention and referring to the figuies generally, we secure
upon the pulley shaft a, a bush b, upon which we place another bush c formed with
radial holes c¹ and adapted to rotate loosely upon the bush b. Upon the last named
bush we mount the loose pulley & having also radial holes d¹ in its boss and around
the same, at one or both sides of its arms or disc, say at both sides, as shown in the
drawing, a box e formed with inlets furnished with plugs for the like and adapted to
receive lubricant of a suitable consistency, such as grease This box or boxes e may
form part of the pulley or be suitably secured thereto and the lubricant in the same
passes gradually through the holes d', ' between the first and second bushes b, c, as
may be required to keep the said parts cool and ensure easy running.
One of the said bushes (or both when required) is formed or furnished with a
collar b¹ to retain the pulley laterally in position thereon
Instead of securing the inner bush upon the shaft a it may be employed loose
thereon and also formed with radial holes b, see dotted lines.
In the same manner as descubed vehicle wheels and carrier or idle wheels may be
mounted loosely upon theu shafts or axles as will be readily understood without
special illustration
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed. we declare that what we
claim 19
16t. A loose pulley or wheel having around its boss a box or boxes e adapted to
receive lubricant and two bi ushes b, c inside of the said boss, the inner bush being
secured to the shaft or axle a and the outer bush c adapted to revolve loosely between
the said inner bush and the pulley or wheel boss, and the lubricant in the said box or
boxes permitted to pass through radial holes formed in the pulley or wheel boss and
the said outer bush, between the said bushes and the outer bush and pulley or wheel
boss, all substantially as set forth
2nd In a loose pulley or wheel such as specified in the preceding clann, forming
the inuer bush b with holes b¹ for the lubricant to pass around the shaft or axle a and
adapting said bush to revolve loosely upon the latter, all substantially as set
forth.
