(not shown), the outer end of said recess be-
ing threaded, as indicated at 21, to receive
the threaded extension 22.of a nut23. Said
nut is provided with an annular conical
5 flange 24 which. fits snugly over the hub end
13 of the web 12. The said nut is also pro-
vided with a hexagonal aperture 25 for the
reception of a wrench.
It will be apparent that the wheel as a
13 whole may be easily removed from the inner
hub member, for the purpose of repair, or
otherwise, by simply removing the nut 23,
and that the same wheel, or another similar
wheel, can as easily be replaced. It will also
15 be apparent that the part 6 of the wheel
may be removed from the part 5 by remov-
ing nut 23 and nuts 19, thus permitting the
quick detaching of the tire as well as of the
wheel.
20 While the webs 9 and 12 may be imperfo-
rate, I have shown them as being pierced or
cut out at 26 to form spokes 27. This is
desirable in the interest of lightness of con-
struction.
25 The flat. peripheral portions 10, 15, of the
webs 9 and 12 are formed with correspond-
ing semi-cylindrical members 28, 29, located
within corresponding cut out spaces 26,
which members, when the two parts of the
so wheel are connected together, form an open-
ing 30 for the valve stem of the tire..
It will be understood that the relative
sizes and' proportions of parts, as well as the
general design, may be varied without .de-
35 parting from the spirit of my invention.
I claim:
1. A wheel of the class described, com-
prising an inner hub member and a wheel
section formed in two integral parts pro-
40 viding central engaging members and com-
plemental rim sections, and one of said parts
providing an outer hub member surround-
ing said inner hub member, and independ-
ent means for . detachably connecting to-
45 gether the two rim sections and the said en-
gaging members with said inner hub mem-
ber, respectively.
2. A wheel of the class described, com-
prising an inner hub member and a wheel
50 section formed in two parts, one of said
parts comprising a rim section and an outer
hub member connected thereto and sur-
rounding said inner hub member, and the
other part comprising a rim section and a
55 hub end connected thereto and surrounding
the said outer hub member, detachable
means for engaging said inner hub member
and embracing the hub end of said second
part, and means for- connecting together the
60 two rim sections.
3. A wheel of .the class described, com-
prising an inner non-circular hub member
and a wheel section formed in two parts,
one of said parts comprising a rim section
65 and an outer hub member connected theretoand of the same shape as, and surrounding,
said inner hub member, and the other part
comprising a rim section and a hub end con-
nected thereto and surrounding the said
outer hub member, detachable means for en- 70
gaging said inner hub member and embrac-
ing the hub end of said second part, and
means for connecting together the two rim
sections.
4. A wheel of the class described, com- 75
prising an inner hub member and a wheel
section formed in two parts, one of said
parts comprising a rim section and an outer
hub member connected thereto and sur-
rounding said inner hub member, and the 80
other part comprising a rim section and a
hub end connected thereto and surround-
ing the said outer hub member, detachable
means for engaging said inner hub member
and embracing the hub end of said second 85
part, and detachable means for connecting
together the two rim sections.
5. A wheel of the class described, com-
prising an inner hub member having a re-
duced end portion and a wheel section 90
formed in two parts, one of said parts com-
prising a rim section and an outer. hub mem-
ber connected thereto and embracing said
inner hub member and having a hub end
surrounding the reduced end portion of the 95
inner hub member, and the other part com.
prising a rim section and a hub end con-
nected thereto and surrounding the hub end
of said outer hub member, detachable means
for engaging said inner hub member and 100
embracing the hub end of said second part,
and means for connecting together the two
rim sections.
6. A wheel of the class described, com-
prising an inner non-circular hub member 1io
having a conoidal reduced end-portion, and
a wheel section formed in two parts, one of
said parts comprising a rim section and an
outer hub member connected thereto and of
the same shape as, and surrounding, said no
inner hub member and having a conoidal
extension surrounding the said conoidal end
portion of the inner hub member, and the
other part comprising a rim section and a
conoidal hub end connected thereto and sur- 115
rounding the conoidal extension of said
outer hub member, a nut for engaging said
inner hub member and having an annular
flange embracing the hub end of said second
part, and means for connecting together the 120
two rim sections.
7. A wheel of the class described, com-
prising an inner frusto-pyramidal hub mem-
ber having a conoidal extension at its
smaller end provided with a screw-threaded 125
aperture, and a wheel section formed in two
parts, one of said parts comprising a rim
section and an outer hub member connected
thereto and of the same shape as, and sur-
-rounding, said inner hub member and'hav- 1302B
