Abstract

293,005. Blanchard, M. F. June 29, 1927, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. Weight of rider, propelling by.-In means for propelling vehicles by the weight of the rider, the weight is alternately transferred from one leg to the other, each foot resting on a pivoted treadle and performing a pivoting action around the toe as the leg is straightened. As shown, the treadles A, A', pivoted at B, are connected at the rear end to reciprocating chains C', which pass around free-wheel sprockets D<1> thus driving the rear wheel through a sprocket D and an endless chain. The chains C<1> are connected to returning-springs R. The motion of the treadles may alternatively be transmitted to the rear wheel through racks or levers.
