Improvements in flexible-rim wheels.

Claims.—(1.) In a wheel, a flexible rim and the described means for attaching spokes to the hub, consisting of the hub-flanges having an inward axial movement, balls interposed in axial grooves formed between the hub-flanges and hub, and means for holding the hub-flanges outward with a yielding pressure, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. (2.) In a wheel, the combination of the rim, the spreading spokes, the hub, the hub-flanges axially movable upon the hub and provided with inwardly projecting sleeves, the resilient medium for holding the hub-flanges outward, and the adjusting nuts threaded upon the sleeves of the hub-flanges and affording the abutment for the resilient medium, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. (3.) In a wheel, the combination of the hub-flange 9 having a perforated rim and an abutment 24 within said rim, the spokes 8, and the screws 18 through which the spokes are passed, provided with slots 19 in which the spokes are headed, and impinging against the abutment 24 to prevent displacement of the spokes, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. (4.) A wheel comprising an axle-box or hub, formed with roller grooves, a flexible rim, flanges having inwardly extending sleeves formed with roller grooves, rollers in said grooves, means for holding the flanges outward with yielding pressure, the telescoping sheathing, and the spokes rigid under tension and yielding under compression; substantially as described.
