Description: |
| Abstract:
To provide a non-yielding lug for traction-engine wheels which will allow the latter to conform to crowning road beds and avoid jarring as the lugs engage the road, and likewise obviate cutting the surface thereof.
A further object is to so form and arrange the lugs of traction-engine wheels that the latter will not only conform to crowning road beds but will present continuous bearing surfaces in traveling over a flat or soft road bed. And a further object is to provide for forcing outwardly from the wheel rim dirt that would otherwise collect between the lugs.
Claim:
In combination with a traction-wheel, a series of non-yielding lugs arranged on the rim thereof inclined on their outer faces toward the inner edge of the rim, and terminating short of such inner edge, the plane of inclination intersecting said edge. |
