Improvements in Spring Wheels for Vehicles.
I, JOHN ARTHUR BRIGHT, of No. 377, Abbeydale Road, in the City of Sheffield,
File Grinder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My improvement relates more particularly to wheels built on the suspension
principle and fitted with solid rubber or cushion tyres. In these, to obtain
additional resilience, I use two separate rims or felloes, the inner or lesser one
may be of any desired shape or material and wire spokes are secured thereto to
carry the nave as is well understood, the outer rim I prefer to make of trough
shaped steel say four inches larger in diameter than the inner rim. Between
the two rims I fix, by means of bolts or rivets, a series of flat steel springs bent
to a circular or elliptical shape leaving the ends apart, said ends are secured to
the periphery of the inner rim, while the crown or side is fixed by a single
bolt to the inside of the outer rim. Where the springs make contact with either
of the rims I insert pieces of rubber leather or other compressible material and
having properly secured all the parts I fix to the outer rim a solid tyre of any
well known form when the wheel is ready for use.

Improvements in Spring Wheels for Vehicles.
I, JOHN ARTHUR BRIGHT, of 377, Abbeydale Road, in the City of Sheffield,
File Grinder, 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:
My improvement relates more particularly to wheels built on the suspension
principle and fitted with solid rubber or cushion tyres, its object is to obtain
additional resilience.
To this end I use two separate rims or felloes disposed as illustrated in draw-
ings annexed wherein Figures 1 and 2 represent wheels fitted with two different
types of springs, Fig. 3 is a sectional view of rims.
The inner or lesser felloe D may be of any desired size shape or material and
is hung or secured as is well understood by means of spokes E. The outer rim B
I prefer to make of trough shaped steel to receive the rubber tyre A. Between
CATS

page_text: the rims B and D I fix by means of bolts screws or rivets b, a series, preferably
an odd number, of flat steel springs C having a curved formation or shape leaving
ends apart as in Fig's. 1 and 2. Each of the said ends is secured to the periphery
of the rim D while the crown is fixed by a single bolt to the inside of the outer
rim B. Where the springs make contact with either of the rims I find it advan-
tageous to insert pieces of rubber leather or other yielding material, and having
properly secured all the parts including the rubber tyre A the wheel is perfectly
ready for use upon any suitable vehicle.
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:-
In the construction of wheels for light vehicles the use of two rims or felloes
of different diameters connected together by and in combination with a series of
bent flat steel springs for increasing the resiliency of such wheels substantially
as herein described and illustrated.
