DUST-CAP FOR HUBS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 706,530, dated August 12, 1902.
Application filed March 2a, 1902.
T0 aZZ whmn it may concern.-
Be it known that LSAMUEL TAYLOR Cornu- HAVER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Losantville, in the county of Randolph and State of Indiana,have invented a new and useful Dust-Cap for Hubs, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in.
dust-caps for hubs.
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of dust-caps for hubs and to provide a simple, inexpensive, and efficient cap designed to be mounted 011 an axle adjacent to the inner end of the spindle to cover the inner end of the hub to exclude sand and dustfrom the bearing to obviate the inconvenience of frequent lubrica tion of the axles of a vehicle, scraper, or other machine.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claim hereto appended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a hub and a portion of an axle -pro.
vided with a dust-cap constructed in accordance with this invention.
is a detail perspective view of the cap.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
mounted on an axle 2 at the inner end of a hub 3, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings, to exclude sand and dust from the bearing to obviate the necessity of frequently removing the wheel and lubricating the axle. The dust-cap, which is preferably constructed of heavy leather, may
be made of any other suitable material, and,
it is composed of a disk 5, provided at its pe riphery with an annular flange 6 and having a centrally-arranged sleeve 7 conforming to. the configuration of the'axle. The disk fits Fig. 2 is a similar" view, the dust-cap being in section. Fig. 3
' gether; but they may be secured in any other suitable manner, and various other materials ,may be employed inthe construction of the 1 designates a dust-cap designed to bo The annular sand or dust which may work between the flange and'the hub.
The disk is provided with a central openin g conforming ,to the configuration of the axle, and the sleeve, which extends outward from the disk in the opposite direction from the flange, receives and conforms to the configuration of the adjacent portion of the axle, and although it is shown square in the accompanying drawings, yet itwill be readily apparent that it may be of any other configuration to conform to the shape of the axle to which the cap is applied.
The sleeve may be secured to the axle by means ofa pin 8 or any other suitable fastening device,and the cap may be applied to the hubs of vehicles and to the hubs ofwheeled scrapers and various other implements and .machines which require frequent lubrication unless the bearings be protected.
It will be seen that the cap is exceedingly simple and inexpensive in construction, that .it forms an efficient dust-guard for the inner end ofthe hubof a wheel, and that it will obviate the necessity of frequently lubricating the axle.
The parts of the dustscap when constructed of leather will be preferably stitched to- GELIL .What-I claim .is The combination with an axle and a hub, of
a dust or sand cap comprising a polygonal sleeve conforming to the configuration of the axle and provided with means for securing it to the samefa'disk provided with a central openingand secured to the outer end of the sleeve and fitted against the inner end of the hub and closing the same, andan annular flange extending from the periphery of the disk and fitting over the sand-band or inner end band of the hub, substantiallyasdescribed.
In testimony that I claim: theforegoingas my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
