Bolt or pin 17 passes through opening 18 of
the axle and through openings in the upper
and lower walls of the axle-box, thereby hold-
ing these parts in fixed relation. Cap-plates
5 19 are fitted to the axle at each end of the hub
and close the axle-box and prevent dirt or
foreign matter entering same. The inner cap-
plate is secured to the wings of the axle,
whereas the outer cap-plate is held in place
io by axle-nut 20, threaded upon the outer end
of the axle in the accustomed way.
Having thus described the invention, what
is claimed as new is-
1. In a spring-hub for vehicle-wheels, the
15 hub proper adapted to have the spokes fitted
thereto and having its opening enlarged at
the ends to form ball-cups, an axle-box lo-
cated within the hub and having an interme-
diate square portion and enlarged end por-
20 tions circular in end view, one of the outer
enlarged ends being beveled to form a cone
and the other outer enlarged end of the hub
being internally threaded, a cone-nut screwed
upon the'outer enlarged threaded end of the
25 box and serving in conjunction with the op-
posite outer enlarged end of the said box to
hold the hub in proper position, balls inter-
posed between the ball-cups and cone mem-
bers, an axle having lateral wings obtaining
30 bearing against the inner vertical walls of the
axle-box and directed in its vertical move-
ments thereby, a pin connecting the axle andaxle-box, and springs interposed between the
upper and lower walls of the axle-box and
the wings of the axle, substantially as set 35
forth.
2. In a spring-hub for vehicle-wheels, the
combination of an axle having oppositely-ex-
tended wings, an axle-box having an inter-
mediate portion made square and outer en- 40
larged end portions 6 and 7, the part 6 hav-
ing its inner corner beveled to form a cone
and the part 7 being externally threaded, a
pin passed through registering openings in
the upper and lower walls of the axle-box and 45
in the axle, springs interposed between the
upper and lower walls of the axle-box and the
wings of the axle, a hub encircling the axle-
box and provided at its ends with ball-cups,
one of which receives outer part 6 of the axle- 5o
box, cone and clamp nuts threaded upon
part 7 of the axle-box, balls interposed be-
tween the ball-cups and cone elements, cap-
plates closing the ends of the axle-box, the
inner cap-plate being secured to the flanges 55
of the axle, and means applied to the axle for
confining the outer cap-plate, substantially
as specified.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature
in presence of two witnesses.
