ABSTRACT:
The wheel mounting of the present invention is designed particularly for use in cable car structures at intersecting street corners, that is, where the cable is carried around a curve. The structure comprises, briefly, a pair of normally vertically spaced horizontally extending supporting pleats and a vertical shaft fixed to the plates and which journals a cable supporting wheel, the later being thus normally mounted to rotate in a horizontal plane. The structure is intended for mounting in below ground surface at the elevation of and to support the car driving cable. Of particular importance is the provision in mounting of a bearing in the wheel hub surrounding the shaft and which has an outer race at the hub wall of the wheel and an inner race at the shaft, the two races being rigidly clamped to the hub and shaft so as to positively confine the forces imposed on the bearing to those forces which the bearing is designed to withstand without undue heating, wear or deterioration. At the same time the structure provides for easy and rapid lubrication of the bearing and for the retention of lubricant therein thus requiring minimal servicing.
