FETE-R C. SEEBERG, OFA CI 0"VIS, CALIFORNIA.'
Application filed August 22, 192,1, Serialy No. 494,128.
To all whom t may concern.' j Be it known that I, PETER C. SEEBERG, citizen of the United States, and resident of Clovis, in the county of Fresno and the State of California, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Presses for Setting Metal F ell-y Wheels, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a press for setting metal rims in wheels in which the spokes have become loosened. It is generally known that at the present time automobile wheels are manufactured having pressed steel rims into which the ends of the wooden spokes of the wheel are'fitted, and that in certain climates, and at certain seasons of the year the wooden spokes shrink in size and become loose in the rim. My device relates to a new and novel tool for tightening such spokes in the rim, or felly of the wheel by depressing a portion of the rim until it tightens around the end of the spoke.
I accomplish the object set forth, and other objects hereinafter set forth by means of the device hereinafter described and illustrated on the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l shows a perspective view of the tool complete attached to an upright post. Figure 2 is a perspective View of a set. Figure 3 is a perspective view of the die used with the set shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 is the base of the tool for holding the die. Figure 5 shows a part of a wheel indicating in section the spoke, the felly, and portions of the die press, the die and the set in active relation. Figure 6 is a modied form of set. v
In said drawing B is an upright post to which a press C is attached. The press consists of a main support 4:, having at the bottoni thereof a base 9, and at the top a pivot support 4t, a lever 2 pivoted at oiieend. to support 4, a set guide 6, a set holder 5 which is adapted to operate in a slideway in guide 6, and a toggle link 3 pivoted at one end to handle 2 and at the other end to set holder 5. The set is shown as 8. The press C is assembled so that the set holder 5 can be moved vertically in line with base 9. j
The die 10 is constructed of a tubular portion lOa having a shoulder or outward proj ecting flange 1l. The top 12 of the flange is adapted to be the face of the die and should be formed oval. The hole through the die is countersunk in the face of the die. This die is longitudinally cut in halves so it can be readily placed around the spoke of a wheel Vas shownin Figure 5. press is. formed 4annular with a section 9a removed` therefrom. The inside size of 'the b ase should'readily receive the tubular por'- tion 10a of ,the dief The opening- 93 should be wide enough to,V admit a spoke. Y
The wheel, ofy which ai` fractional portion is shown in `Figure 5, has spokes 13 which have tenons 13a formed-on the end. thereof, and a rim la whichhas tubular yprojections :l5 pressed :thereinwhichare adapted to receive tenons 13a.` `'Ihe set 8 is constructed with the lower end tubular,` the outside diameter littingjintothe countersink 12a, and the inside diameter being large enough to `fit The base :v9 of the die 1 over the tubular-projection 15.-` 'The set 8 is i around the loosened spoke as shown in Figu re 5 adjacent to the under surface of the rim ofthe wheel, Iand the set is then placed lwithin the base 9 where the shoulder llZL rests upon the top of the press base 9. The
press is constructed so that when the wheel j is in the position described on the press base, the set can Vreadily be moved so it eiicircles the tubular projection into which the tenon of the spoke wasinserted. When the rim of the wheel is thus between the die and the set described, it will be noted that by forcing the set adjacent to the face felly will be depressed around the spoke to meet the shoulder of the tenon 13a. If it is desired to shrink the hole in the tubular projection 15', the set 18 shown in Figure 6 can be used in which the opening Saa is formed tapelring. Different forms of sets can 'be usec.
It is also noted that instead of the press C described, the same results can be accomplished by using a hammer or other equivalent to actuate the set.
I claim as new and ask for Letters Patent:
l. A tool for tightening the spokes of a wheel having metal rims with tubular projections formed thereon into which ends of the spokes are inserted, consisting of a die having an opening therethrough adapted to fit around a spoke,said die having a flange thereon forming the face of the die, and a countersink in the face of the flange having a common center with the opening, the die beingcut in halves along the line of the diameter of the hole, a die holder consisting of a ring with a sector cut away7 the opening in or uit die the the ring formed by the cut-away sector being adapted to admit a spoke therethrough and the inside diameter of the ring being adapted to receive the die so that the flange of the die will rest on the topto the ring, a set having an annular 'aceadapted to lit around the tubular projection and Within the countersink, and means for forcing the die and the set adjacent to each other.
2. A. tool for tightening the spokes of a Wheel having metal rims Withtubular projections formed thereon into which ends of the spokes are inserted, consisting of a die having an opening therethrough adapted to f fit around a spoke, said die having a flange thereon forming the face of the die, and a countersink in the face of the flange having a common center with the longitudinal opening, the face of the diefbeing Jformed oval, the die being longitudinally out in halves, a dieholder consisting of a ring with a sector eut away, the opening in the ring formed by the cut-away sector being adaptedV to admit a spoke therethrough and the inside diameter of the ring being adapted-to receive the means il'or forcing the die and the set adjaf cent to each other. 1
3. A. tool for tightening the spokes of a Wheel having metal rims and Wooden spokes, said spokes being litted in tubular projections 'formed on said rim, consisting of a die i having an opening therethrough adapted to lit around the spoke Where it enters the rim, and having said opening countersunk in the iace olE the die so that when assembled With the spoke an annular groove is formed Within the i-ace of the die around the spoke, said die being longitudinally halved, a press base adapted to hold the two parts of said die rigidly together, a tubular set adapted to encircle said tubular projection, and to engage said annular groove in the die, and means for 'forcing the set adjacent to the face o the die, substantially as described.
