SPECIFICATION forming part .of Letters Patent No. 271,800, dated February 8, 1883.
Application filed December 12, 1882. (No model.)
It consists of certain im proved details of construction, all hereinafter fully explained and particularly claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the apparatus Fig. 2, a vertical longitudinal section of the same, and Fig. 3, a plan View. In these drawings, A represents the'frame, which may be formed out of a single piece of board or plank or other suitable material. It is cut away, as shown at at, and is braced in the rear part'by a bent bar, I). In the forward part is pivoted the standard 0 ofa guide-wheel,
seat.
O. The upper part of said standardturns in suitable bearing, 1).. To the upper end of this standard; are fixed cross-arms e, which are connected to foot-leversg by intermediate rods,f. The foot-levers are pivoted upon standards 6, set in the sides of the frame A. These levers are provided with foot pieces 1 1, projecting downward from the frame and adapted to receive the feet of the rider as he sits astride' the This construction permits the feet to be placed on the outside, and the arrangement of the hand levers is inside of the foot -1evers. These hand-levers are shown at D D. They are pivoted upon a rod, is, passing through the upper parts of the standards, and are connected by pitinen to the crank-shafts of the independent axles E. These independent axles are supported in broad hearings in the sides F F of the frame A. On the same rod which supports the pivoted hand-levers, and between said levers, I pivot the forward end of the seat G. This seat is formed out of board or other suitable material, of the shape shown in Fig. 3. The frontpart is cut narrow, and the rear wide part, which springs, L L. I
The objects which I have aimed at in the described construction are cheapness of manu facture, and simplicity and strength in the structure, and convenience for the user, thus making it possible forhim to attain great speed with little effort.
What I. claim as my invention is- 1. Ina velocipede, the combination, with the solid bed-piece A, having the space a, and widconnected axles, journaled in'the said bearings operating-levers, substantially as described.
2. The combination, in a velocipede, of levers connected to the driving axle and mounted upon a common shaft, with a seat having its forward end pivoted upon the same shaft.
3. In a velocipede, the combination, with the supporting-frame, of hand levers connected to the driving axle, foot-levers connected to the steering wheel, and the seat, said levers and seat being pivoted upon acommon shaft mounted in the f1-ame-work,substantiall y as described. 7 4. The combination, in a velocipede, of the standards it, the levers pivoted between said standards, and the seat having anarrow front projection pivoted between the levers, and suitable supportingspring, substantially as described. 4
In testimony hereofl have signed my name to this specification in the presence of three subscribing witnesses.
