Application filed October 16,1888. (Xo'inodel.) I
To @ZZ whom iv' 11ml/ concern:
Be it known that we, ADELBERT F. San- GENT and RALPH l). FARRELL, of Geneseo, in` the county of Henry and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in 'Iwo-Vheeled Vehicles 5 and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a side view of our improved twowheeled vehicle with one wheel removed. Figs. 2 and?) are detailviews of one of the rear cranks and its suspending-iron, and Fi 4 is a perspective detail view of one of the front cranks and its surroundings.
`Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Our invention has relation to that class of two-wheeled vehicles in which the body is suspended upon cranks, by which the horse-motion may be reduced to minimum; and it consists in the improved construction, combination, and arrangement of parts of the same, as hereinafter more fully described 'and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, the letter A indicates the body, which is a phieton-body of the usual construction, having a raised seat, B, and a lower box, C, for the limbs of the passcngers.
D are the wheels, journaled upon the ends of the axle, to which the shafts E are clipped at their inner ends, and upon whichthe springs F, which are elliptical springs, are clipped. TWO side bars, G, are clipped near their rear ends upon these springs, and the front ends of., the side bars are hinged upon bolts H, which pass through the arms of a stirrup or shackle, l, having two or more sets of perforations, J, for the reception of said bolts, and through sleeves or eyes K, secured upon the upper sides of the side bars. These stirrupsor shackles are clipped upon the under side of a crossbar, L, fastened between the shafts, and upon whichthe single-tree M is pivoted. A rod, N, turns in bearings O upon the lower front edge of the body and forms at its ends two l cranks, P, the outwardly-turned ends of which turn in bearings Q., upon the under side of the front ends of the side bars, supporting the forward end of the body, and two elastic cushions,
R, prevent the said rod from rattling when the bearings become worn. The rear ends of the side bars are provided with two upwardly curved irons, S, which form eyes T upontheir forwardly-curved upper ends, which eyes form bearings for the outwardly-bent ends of two cranks, U, formed bythe ends of a rod, V, turning in bearings XV upon the lower rear edge of the seat of the body, and provided with elastic cushions K. In this manner it will be seen that the body hangs suspended by the cranks, and may swing upon the same, so that the motion of the horse, communicated to the shafts, will not reach the body, which will hang in the same position without regard to the position of the shafts; and it will also be seen that the body being suspended from the side bars, which again in turn are fastened to the springs and hinged to the cross-bar, will remove the motion still farther frornthe body. It will also be seen that the center of gravity of the body will always be at the same point over the springs, as the body swings upon the cranks, thus avoiding all possibility of breaking or shaking the springs by changing the direction in which the weight falls upon them.
The shackles at the forward ends of the side bars are for the well-known purpose of changupwardly-curved irons secured to the rear' ends of the side bars andforming transverse eyes at their ends, a body having transverse bearings at its front and rear ends, and rods IOO rocking in said bearings and having their ends` our own We have hereunto efixed our signubent upward, forming cranks rocking with tures in presence of two Witnesses. their ends in the eyes of the upwardly-Curved YADELBERT FOSS SARGENT. irons and in bearings near the forward ends of RALPH DORAN FAR-BELL. the side bars, its and for the purpose shown Witnesses: and set forth. A. MoBRooM,
In testimony that we claim the foregoing as GEO. W. BAKER.
