bricating oil from the inner bearings of the
assembled wheel hub.
I claim:
5 1. In a device of the character described,
the combination of the spindle portion of
an axle provided with a sharp edged exten-
sion, a vehicle wheel on said spindle, a lock-
ing nut, and packing material held within
10 said wheel by said nut and pressed by said
nut against said sharp edged extension, sub-
stantially as described.
2. In a device of the character described,
the combination of the spindle portion of
15 an axle provided with an extension having a
sharp edge, a vehicle wheel on said spindle,
a sleeve adapted to rotate around the axle
and provided with a flanged head, a locking
nut engaging said sleeve and the inner part
20 of said wheel, and packing material confined
within said vehicle wheel. and pressed by
said locking nut against the flanged head of
the sleeve and against the sharp edge of
said extension, substantially as described.
25 3. In a device of the character described,
the combination of the spindle portion of
an axle, provided with an extension, a ve-
hicle wheel carried by said spindle and said
extension, a inetdillic boxing in said wheel,
30 said boxing being provided with cylindrical
parts connected together and mounted on
the end of said spindle and the extension
thereon, and also provided with flanges and
oil pockets, a nut for securing said wheel on
35 said spindle, a cap nut for closing the outer
end of said wheel, packing, and means for
forcibly compressing said packing against
the extension on said spindle, substantially
as described.
40 4. In a device of the character described,
the combination of the spindle portion of an
axle provided with an extension, a wheel
carried thereby, said wheel being provided
with a metallic boxing, said boxing compris-
45 ing cylindrical parts connected together
and mounted on said spindle and the exten-
sion thereon, and also provided with flanges
and oil pockets, means for securing said
wheel on said spindle, and a cap nut screwed
50 into the outer end of said wheel and the
flanges on the outer end of said boxing, sub-
stantially as described.
5. In a device of the character described,
the combination of the spindle portion of
55 an axle provided with an extension, a wheel
mounted thereon, a metallic boxing having
two cylindrical parts connected together,
said parts being fitted over the outer end of
said spindle and over said extension, re-
60 spectively, one of said cylindrical parts on
said boxing being provided with radial
flanges and said cylindrical part being also
provided with oil pockets, a nut for confin-
ing said wheel on said spindle, a cap nut
65 engaging the outer end of the hub of saidwheel and the outer end of said flanges, and
means for securing said main part of said
wheel and said boxing together, substan-
tially as described.
(. In a device of the character described, 70
the combination of the spindle portion of an
axle provided with an extension having a
sharp edge, a wheel carried thereby, said
wheel being provided with a metallic box-
ing having two cylindrical parts connected 75.
together and fitting over the outer end of
said spindle and said extension, respectively,
said boxing being also provided with flanges
and oil pockets, a sleeve adapted to fit
around the axle, inside of said spindle ex- 80
tension, packing around said sleeve, and a
nut engaging the inner part of the wheel
and adapted to be screwed home to force
said packing against the sharp edge of said
extension, substantially as described. . 85
7. In a device of the character described,
the combination of the spindle portion of an
axle provided with an extension having a
sharp edge, a vehicle wheel carried thereby,
said vehicle wheel being provided with two 90
cylindrical portions connected together and
fitting over the outer end of said spindle
and over said extension, respectively, means
for securing said wheel on said spindle, a
sleeve fitting around the axle inside of said 95
spindle extension, said sleeve being provided
with an enlarged head, packing engaging
said head, and a two-part nut fitting around
said sleeve and screwed into the inner end of
the wheel hub, thereby forcing the packing ioo
against the sharp edge of the spindle ex-
tension, substantially as described.
8. In a device of the character described,
the combination of the spindle portion of an
axle provided with an extension having a 105
sharp edge, a wheel carried thereby, a metal-
lic boxing in said wheel, composed of two
cylindrical parts connected together and fit-
ting, respectively, over the outer end of said
spindle and over said extension, said boxing 110
being provided with flanges and oil pockets,
a nut for securing said wheel on said spin-
dle, a cap nut for the outer end of the wheel
hub, a sleeve provided at one end with. a
head and fitting around said axle inside of 115
said spindle extension, packing adapted to
rest against the head of said sleeve, and a
two-part nut placed around said sleeve and
screwed thereon and into the inner part of
the wheel hub, thereby compressing the 120
packing against the sharp edge of the spin-
dle extension, substantially as described.
9. In a device of the character described,
the combination of the spindle portion of
an axle provided with an extension having 125
a sharp edge, a wheel carried thereby, said
wheel being provided with a metallic boxing
composed of two cylindrical parts connected
together and engaging, respectively, the
outer end of said spindle and said extension, 130
