PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Strengthened Felloe for the Wheels of
Velocipedes and other Vehicles.
I, EDWARD GRIFFITH BREWER of 33 Chancery Lane in the County of
London and 30 East Parade, Leeds in the County of York, Fellow of the
Chartered Institute of Patent Agents do hereby declare the nature of this invention
(a communication to me from abroad by Louis Seitert of 42 Boulevard Bonne
Nouvelle, Paris, France) to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to construct a new or improved strengthened
felloe for the wheels of velocipedes and other vehicles and the invention is described
with reference to a hollow felloe of so-called "Dunlop" type. This hollow steel
felloe without soldering is strengthened at its inner surface or part where the
spokes of the wheel enter, by the folding or doubling of the inner surface of the
metal at that part of the tube, upon itself. This strengthening by folding secures
for the felloes which are so made, many advantages such as simplicity of construction
and absence of joints, soldering or brazing, the invention essentially consisting in
strengthening that part of the felloe which is drilled to receive the wheel spokes,
this being effected as aforesaid by folding the membrane of the felloe upon itself
once, twice, or several times.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Strengthened Felloe for the Wheels of
Velocipedes and other Vehicles.
I, EDWARD GRIFFITH BREWER of 33 Chancery Lane in the County of
London and 30 East Parade, Leeds, in the County of York, Fellow of the
Chartered Institute of Patent Agents, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
(a communication to me from abroad by Louis Seitert of 42 Boulevard Bonne
Nouvelle, Paris, France,) and in what manner the same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to construct a new or improved strengthened
felloe for the wheels of velocipedes and other vehicles, and the invention is
described with reference to the drawing which represents a hollow felloe of
so-called "Dunlop" type. This hollow steel felloe, as will be seen by reference
to the drawing, is made without soldering and is strengthened at its inner surface
or part A where the spokes of the wheel enter, by the folding or doubling of the
inner surface B of the metal at that part of the tube upon itself. This strengthening
by folding secures for felloes which are so made many advantages, such as simplicity
of construction and absence of joints, soldering or brazing, the invention essentially
consisting in strengthening that part of the felloe which is drilled to receive the
wheel spokes, this being effected as aforesaid by folding the membrane of the felloe
upon itself once, twice, or several times.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
The new or improved strengthened felloe for the wheels of velocipedes and other
vehicles, wherein that part of the felloe which is drilled to receive the wheel
spokes is strengthened, this being effected as aforesaid by folding the membrane of
the felloe upon itself, once, twice or several times, all substantially as and for the
purpose set forth.
Dated this 25th day of October 1894.
