Axle.
No. 60,876. Patented Jan. 1, 1867.
' sleeves of brass or A. W. GILLETT, OF SPARTA, WISCONSIN.
IMPROVEMENT IN AXLES FOR VEHICLES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 60,876, dated January 1, 1867.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, A. W. GLLLETT, of Sparta, in the county of Monroe and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Axles for Vehicles; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
In the'annexed drawings, making part of this specification, A represents the axle, or a portion of the axle, of a vehicle, made either of steel or of iron. This axle is provided, as usual, with a thread upon its end, over which passes a nut, O, for the purpose of confining the wheel on. B B representtwo bands or some other soft metal, which are secured upon the axle A. One of these bands is provided with a shoulder, as seen at a a, to prevent the hub passing over the axle farther than the length of the box of said hub. The bands are not as long as the box of the hub, but are secured so that their outer ends are flush with the ends of the box, leaving a space of an inch or two between them, where the axle is uncovered or unprotected by them. This space between the bands will answer as a receptacle for holding oil for lubricating. In order to fasten these bands upon the axle a small hole is punched in the periphery of said axle, and the band being slipped on and fitting snugly, a punch is used for forcing the metal of the band down into the holes in the axle, as shown at w 00. By this means the band is securely fastened upon the axle. By using in a steel or iron box in hubs the axle will wear less, and remain, of course, longer tight in said box. Should there be any wear upon the axle the bands may be removed by drilling out the metal forced down into the holes in the axle, and new bands placed on at a very small cost.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The employment of the bands B B, in com bination with the axle A, the said bands being constructed of soft metal, and confined to the axle in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth.
As evidence that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
A. W. GILLETT.
