one of said cylindrical parts being provided
with oil pockets and radial flanges, a nut
holding said wheel on said spindle, packing
located on the inside of said spindle exten-
5 sion, and a nut adapted to be screwed into
the inner end of the wheel hub to compress
said packing against the sharp edge of the
spindle extension, said wheel being pro-
vided with a cap nut, with spokes fitting
10 against said metallic boxing, and with re-
movable means whereby a lubricant may be
supplied to the interior of the wheel, sub-
stantially as described.
10. In a device of the character described,
15 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 composed of two cylindrical parts con-
20 nected together and engaging the outer- end
of said spindle and said extension, respec-
tively, said boxing being provided with ra-
dial flanges and oil pockets, a nut for hold-
ing said wheel on said spindle, a sleeve sur-
25 rounding the axle and located inside of said
spindle extension, said sleeve being provided
with a head, packing resting against said
head, a two part nut embracing said sleeve
and screwed home thereon and into the inner
30 part of the wheel hub, and a spring located
between said nut and said packing, sub-
stantially as described.
11. In a device of the character described,
the combination of the spindle portion of
35 an axle provided with an extension having
a sharp edge, a wheel carried thereby, said
wheel having on its inside a metallic boxing
composed of two cylindrical parts united
together and engaging, respectively, with the
40 outer end of said spindle and with the ex-
tension thereon, said boxing being also pro-
vided with oil pockets and radial flanges, a
nut for securing said wheel to said spindle,
means for locking said nut, said wheel being
45 provided with a cap nut on the outer part
of the wheel hub, a sleeve surrounding the
axle and located inside of the spindle, and
provided with a head, packing resting
against said head, and a two-part nutscrewed home on said packing and into the 50
inner part of the wheel hub to compress
said packing against the sharp edge of the
spindle extension, and a set screw to tempo-
rarily secure said packing sleeve in station-
ary position, while said two-part nut is 55
screwed against said packing, substantially
as described.
12. In a device of the character described,
the combination of the spindle portion of
an axle provided with an extension having 60
a sharp edge, a metallic box composed of
two cylindrical parts united together and
mounted upon said spindle, engaging respec-
tively with the outer end of said spindle
and with the extension thereon, said spindle 65
box being also provided with radial flanges,
oil grooves and pockets, a nut for securing
said spindle box to said spindle, means for
locking said nut, a wheel hub mounted on
said spindle box, provided with a cap nut 70
locking said spindle box and said wheel hub
together and thereby closing the outer end
of said wheel hub, a removable bolt or screw
through the outer casing of said wheel hub
by which the interior may be supplied with 75
lubricating oil, a sleeve surrounding the axle
and located inside of the spindle and spindle
extension, said sleeve being provided with a
head and packing resting against said head,
a two-part nut screwed home against said 80
packing and into the interior part of the
wheel hub to compress said packing against
the sharp edge of the spindle extension, a
set screw to temporarily secure said packing
sleeve in stationary position while said two- 85
part nut is screwed home against said pack-
ing, said packing material serving to ex-
clude dust and water and prevent the escape
of lubricating oil from the inner bearings
of the assembled wheel hub, spindle and 90
spindle box, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof, I affix my signa-
ture, in presence of two witnesses.
