  • Patent number: 4563574
    Abstract: A hub odometer having a protective case adapted to be mounted axially on an axle cap of a vehicle with a substantially cylindrical carrier plate rotatably mounted in the case for supporting a counting mechanism having figure wheels. The shaft of the figure wheels is mounted transversely of the axis of rotation of the case within the carrier plate, and a reduction gearing transfers the relative rotation of case and carrier plate to the figure wheels. At least one ball of heavy metal is provided, the ball being movably positioned in substantially diametrical opposition with respect to the case axis to the figure wheels, the ball being heavier than the counting mechanism.

The foot features a supporting plate which has fastened thereto a holding ring. The lower terminal section of the supporting leg has a ground plate that overlaps the lower edge to laterally jut out. A coupling articulately connects the holding ring with the supporting leg, the coupling being provided with a bolt system traversing diametral circular holes. An elastic compression body is placed between the ground plate and a supporting plate. The upper terminal section of the holding ring overlaps the laterally jutting-out edge section of the ground plate. The supporting leg and the ground plate are separated. To the ground plate there is fastened a supporting tubular sleeve, that fits within the leg.
