'The present invention relates to improve-v ments in hubs, the primary object of the invention being the provision of a'novel form' of hub to be used 1n connection with vehicle spindles, the same being provided with means for sliding upon the spindle and to be retained thereon so as to reducethe Wear upon lthe spindle and be provided with coacting .means to retain the hub 'upon such means and the spindle, such retaining means being carried by thel hub or a sleeve adapted to `be driven into :a Wooden hub When used in connection therewith.

A further object of the present invention is the provision cfa novel form of hub bearing having primarily a main sleeve adapted to be placed upon an axle spindle of a Vehicl'e and having'an annular shoulder provided between its ends, the annular shoulder pro-- viding a means to prevent the outward displacement of the hub when in proper posi--l tion, While means is. carried by the hub to hold it in such osition upon the spindle that any thrust cip of and also make said bearing dust roof. lVith the foregoing and other o jects in view which will appear as the description rolceeds, the invention resides in the comination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it Abeing understood that changes in the precise embodimentv of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed Withoutdeparting from the spirit of the invention.'

In the drawinfrs Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional viewl through the hub and spindle carried bearing sleeve Fig. 2 is a section taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a Wheel hub, and 2 is the spindle of the axle provided with the abrupt shoulder 3, whichis a limiting means for the inner end of the. skein 4. The skein 4 is provided with the intermediate annular shoulder 5, which divides the said skein into the short portion 6 and the long stationary bearing sleeve 7,the tapered pin 8 being disspin the hub Will be taken care l Specification of Reissued Letters Patent.

.Application for reissue led Otobe' posed through the end of the sleeve 7 and the s lndle 2 to fixedly secure thesleeve or mem er 4 u on the spindle.

In .assemb ingthis device, the short end 6 01:' the member 4 is first inserted Within the hub. 1 until the Iannular shoulder 5 abuts -the vproJecting rim 9 .of the hub, the skein 4 eincg1 now slid upon the reduced end of the le. The hub is now slid inwardly' a .suiiicient distance to allow for the insertion of the pin 8. The vaxle box 13 is now slid Within vthe hub and about the bearing surface 7, until its inner end is in abutting relation with the-annular shoulder 5 upon the opposite side to the rim 9. vThe key 10 which -fits within the opposed grooves 11 and 12, respectively of the hub 1 and :bearing sleeve 13 retains the bearing sleeve 13 and hub against relative rotation, While the set screw 14 fitted Within the threaded aperture 14 of the hub 1 and sleeve 13 retains the sleeve 13 against longitudinal movement, and also provides a lubricant directing means to the lubricant containing cavity l5. The outer end of the bearing sleeve 13 projects slightly beyond the outer ends of the sleeve 7 and s lndle 2 and is adapted to be abutted by t e inner end 16 of the dust 17 which is fitted Within threaded end 18 of the hub 1 to prevent the cap from bindin against the outer ends of the stationary ax e spindle 2 and skein 4 and thereby insure the free rotatio-n ofthe wheel hub 1.v

lVhat is claimed is:-

1. The combination with an axle spindle and a. hub, of aprigidly secured skein sul` rounding the spindle, said skein having an integral annular .shoulder between its ends,

the interiorly -said hub being slidable upon the skein and provided with an internal annular projection abutting the shoulder of the skein to retain lthe hub against outward movement, an axle box fixedly secured to and Within the hub and concentric with and surround'- ing the skein, its innerl endV abutting the shoulder of the skein.

2. The combination with an axle spindle and a hub, of a rigidly secured'skein surrounding the spindle, said skein having an integral annular shoulder between its ends, said hub being slidable upon the skein and provided with an internal annular projec tion abutting the shoulder oi the skeinto retain the hub against outward movement, an axle box iixedly secured to and Wit-hin the excluding cap hub and concentric with and surrounding the skein, its inner end abutting the shoul der of the skein, and a dust excluding cap fitted in the end of the hub and free from the ends of the spindle and skein.

' 3. The combination/.With an axle spindle and a hub, of a skein secured t0 the spindle, said skein having an integral annular shoulder between its ends, said hub lbeing slidable upon the skein and provided with an inannular shoulder between its ends, one perf,

tion of said'tubular member being 'av bearing sleeve, means for locking thev tubular member upon the spindle, the hub being provided with an annular inwardly projecting shoulder surrounding the other portion of the tubular member and held against outward movement by the annular shoulder of the tubular member, an outer bearing sleeve longitudinally slidable within the hub and having its inner end abutting the op osite side of the annular shoulder of the tu ular member, (zo-acting 'means carried by the hub and outer 'bearing sleeve to prevent the sleeve from rotating independently of the hub, and a dust excluding and locking cap mounted in the outer end of the hub and retaining the outer Ibearing sleeve against longitudinal movement.

- In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
