To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that ,I, EUGENE S.

This invention has relation to sand-bands for the hubs of vehicle-wheels; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement, in connection with a collar-band on the back end of the hub, having its rim-wall projecting beyond said back end, of a eonically-fiaring sandband, having its small end seated within the projecting portion of the collar-band in close engagement with the rim thereof, and secured to the hub by means of screws passing through interior lugs of said sand-band into the end of a the hub, all ashereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, theletter a designates a wheel-hub, and b the back end thereof, to which is secured, by means of pins,

screws, or other common fastening, a circumscribing collar-band, c, the rim-wall of which projects beyond the back end of said hub.

(Z represents the sandband, which is of conically-flaring form, and is provided with internal lugs, e, at its smaller end, said lugs being perforated to receive screws 9, which pass into the back end of the hub and serve to secure the sand-band thereto. The sand-band is seated in place by .insertingits smaller end within the collar-band and forcing it home against the end of the hub, thereby bringing its middle portion into close contact with the rim h of the collar-band, the circular span of which should be such that it will fit the outer I EUGENE s ILAs sUTToN.
