Description

April 23, 1940. B. J. ANDERSON COMBINATION FORK AND FENDER FOR VELOCIPEDES Filed Oct. 1, 1937 INVENTOR. BY fizz jvgf/ ORNEY.
Patented Apr. 23, 1940 UNITED STATES COMBINATION FORK AND- FENDER FOR VELOCIPEDES Bert J. Anderson, Hammond, Ind.
Application October 1, 1937, Serial No. 166,747
1 Claim.
This invention relates to an improved combination fork and fender for velocipedes and has for one of its principal objects the provision of means for forming a device of the kind referred to from two complementary stampings.
Another important object of the improved combination fork and fender resides in the provision of means for locating the complementary parts preparatory to securing them together.
1.0 A still further object of importance and advantage resides in the provision of means for forming a substantially horizontal channelshapcd suspension member for attachment to an axle.
An additional object of importance resides in the provision of means whereby a handle bar when in operative position assists in maintaining the complementary parts of the fork post in association.
Additional objects of advantage and importance will become apparent as the following detailed description progresses reference being had to the accompanying drawing. wherein Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of a combination fork and fender which embodies the invention.
. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on line 2-2 of Fig. .1.
Fig. 3 is a front elevationalview of the device,
the complementary portions thereof being spaced slightly apart.
Fig. 4 is a slightly enlarged section taken on line 4--4 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 5 is a section taken on line 55 of Fig. 1.
As shown in the drawing:
The reference numeral l0 indicates in general the combined fork and fender of this invention which in the preferred embodiment of the structure is constructed of two segmentally shaped complementary stampings l2 and I4.
Formed along the circumferential edge of each stamping is a joining flange l 6. Any suitable securing means such as welding, riveting or bolting may be employed in securing the stampings together.
Projecting inwardly from the face of the flanged portion of the stampings i2 is a plurality of locating members I8 which are adapted to co-act with the apertures 20 in the flanged portion of the stamping l4 when the two stampings are assembled. The locating members l8 may be headed or expanded when in position to assist in maintaining the stampings l 2 and M in assembly. The locating members l8 are formed by depressing a portion of the metal of the stamping as is best shown in Fig. 4. a i
Joining the ends of the segmentally shaped stampings l2 and I4 is a substantially channel shaped connecting member 22. The member 22 is preferably formed of a portion of the stamping itself.
Formed in the lower edge of each channel shaped member 22 is a conereceiving opening 24. The cone receiving opening 24 provides a means for supporting an axle bearing without subjecting the entire weight to be borne upon the securing bolts. The channel shaped connecting member 22 provides a resiliency which can not be obtained through the use of the conventional fork and fender. I
Projecting upwardly from the upper edge of each stamping is a semi-tubular member 26 which when the stampings are joined forms the fork post of the device.
Formed at the top of each semi-tubular member 26 is a tongue 28 which is adapted to be employed in securing a handle bar to the device.
It will be apparent from the foregoing that herein is provided a combination fork and fender structure whichmay be economically manufactured.
Moreover, the device of this invention may be used on various types of velocipedes without change or alteration from the preferred embodiment.
It will be further apparent that herein is provided an improved device which because of its peculiar construction provides a considerable amount of resiliency between the axle and handle bar connecting portions. The structure provides substantially a shock absorber device.
I claim as my invention:
A combination fork and fender comprising a pair of complementary members, a semi-tubular portion projecting upwardly from the top of each member, resilient means formed of the lower portion of each of said members for supporting an axle, said means including a substantially horizontal channel shaped portion to the central part of which said axle is attached.
