IMPROVEMENT IN SLED-PROPELLERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 172,185, dated January 11, 1876; application filed December `4, 1875.
To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. SHELTON, Jr., of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Propellin g Attachment to Sleighs and Wheeled Bodies, ot' which the following is a speeitication: K
Figure l represents a side elevation of my improved propelling attachment to sleighs and carriages, and Fig. 2 is a top view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. i
The object of my invention is to provide hand-sleighs, small carriages, and wheeled bodies of all kinds, with a propelling attachment, by which they can be moved in a rapid and easy manner, the weight of the body assistin g the forward propulsion ofthe sleigh or wheeled body.
My invention consists of a sleigh or wheeled body that is provided at both sides with slotted guides, and t'ulcrumed lever-handles slid-V ing loosely therein, said handles having end claws or feet that take hold ot' the ice or ground slotted to some distance from the ends for the lever-handles G, which are fulcrulned to side pieces D, run looselyin the slots ofthe guides B, and are secured thereto by washers or other guard-plates.
The upper ends of the levers C are taken' hold of by the hands, so that the lower ends,
which are extended downward at suitable curve or inclination, and provided with terminal feet or claws, are made to enter the ice or ground, and form strong points of support thereon.
The weight of the body on the sleigh or wheeled frame, in connection with the force exerted by the arms on the levers, results in the forward motion of the sleigh or wheeled frame, by the guides on theside pieces of the fixed levers, which are then moved forward again and again forced into the ground, producing the next forward movement of the sleigh, and so on.
By rapidly repeating the forward sliding and the planting of the propelling-levers on the ice or ground, the sleigh or wheeled frame is propelled at correspondin g speed in forward direction, forming thus notonly an attachment for the greater amusement of children, but, also a readily-operated and convenient exercising device for grown people.
Having thus described myinventon, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patpropulsion of the sleigh or wheeled body, on
the lever slide-pieces, in conjunction with the weight of the person, substantially as specitied.
WILLIAM H. SHELTON, JR.
