other Wheels.
.
I, SAMUEL POWDRILL, Fleckney, Leicester, Mechanic, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in ball bearings for velocipede and
other wheels, and consists in the use of cones which are secured in position by
means of lock nuts which screw upon the spindle passing through the hub, or
the like.
The ends of the cones are recessed and shaped so as to enable them to be
secured without being screwed upon the spindle, the locking nuts being provided
with projections to engage in the recesses aforesaid.

Improvements in or relating to Ball Bearings for Velocipede and
other Wheels.
I, SAMUEL POWDRILL, Fleckney, Leicester, Mechanic, 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 ball bearings for velocipedes and
other wheels, and consists in the use of cones, which are secured in position by
means of lock nuts which screw upon the spindle passing through the hub or
the like.
The ends of the cones are recessed and shaped so as to enable them to be
secured without being screwed upon the spindle, the locking nuts being provided
with projections to engage in the recesses aforesaid.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will now refer to the
annexed drawings, in which:-
Figure 1, is a longitudinal section of a ball bearing constructed according to
my invention.
Figure 2, elevation of the shoulder f shewing the recess i.
Figure 3, elevation of the cone & shewing the recess e¹.
Figure 4, elevation of the locking collar f.
The balls a bear upon the cone surfaces 6 and the hub c.
The cone is pro-
vided with a projection h which engages in a corresponding recess i formed in

page_text: the shoulder or collar upon the spindle g. The cone d' is provided with a recess e¹
which engages on a corresponding projection in the collar fl which is secured by
means of the locking nut f. By this means the cones may be adjusted upon the
spindle without the necessity of providing them with threads for engaging upon
screw threads upon the spindle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
-
1. The combined construction and arrangement of the various parts substan-
tially as described and illustrated herein.
2. In ball bearings for velocipedes and the like: the cones having projections
& recesses which engage in corresponding projections & recesses formed upon
a shoulder upon the spindle and an adjusting collar with a lock nut for the
purpose of enabling the cones to be adjusted without the necessity of screwing
them upon the spindle.
