RUSSELL P. HEILMAN, OF EMPORIUM, PENNSYLVANIA, AND RICHARD 13.' PERKINS, OFIIORNELLSVILLE, NEV YORK.
TRICYCLE HOBBY-HQRSE.
SPECIFCA'I'ION forming part of Letters Patent No, 325,408, dated September 1, 1885. hpplication filed .May 12, 1585. (No model.)
.T0 [171i whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, RUssnLL P. HEILMN, of`Emporiuni, in the county of Cameron and State of Pennsylvania, and RICHARD B. Pare KINS, of Hornellsville, in the county of Stenben and State of N ew York, have invented a new and Improved Tricycle Hobby-Horse, of which the following' is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of our invention is to provide a new and improved hobby-horse which can be operated in the same manner as a tricycle.
The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.
Reference is to be had to the acconipanying drawings, forining a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a side view of our iniproved hobby-horse. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail end view of the front wheel. Fig. 4. is a side view of the hub of the front wheel. Fig. 5 is a detail ci'osssectional view of the front wheel. Fig. 6 is a side view of a fixed rear leg. Fig. 7 is a face view of the rear frame. Fig. S is a detail view of the top part of a inodifieation of the rear frame.
The shaft A is arranged to turn in the hobby-horse B at the base of the neck, and has a cross-piece, B, on its upper end.
On the lower end of the shaft a fork, G, is secured, the shanks C' of which are made in iinitation of the horse's front legs.
In the lower ends of the shanks a shaft, D, is journaled, which has a crank, E, on each end, the cranks having foot-rests E.
Between the shanks O' a hub, F, is rigidly inounted on the shaft, and is provided with radial pockets F', for receiving the wire spokes G' of the wheel G.
If desired, the hub may have radial grooves G2, for receiving the ends of the Wire spokes, this construction being shown in Fig. 4.
Iods J are pivoted to the shanks C' at the upper ends of the same, and are connected by rods H with the ends of the cranks E. The
rods J may have the Shape of a horse,s front legs. Rods K, having their upper ends held to the sides of the horse-body at the rear, extend downward and outward, and in their lower ends the rear axle, L, is journaled,which carries the rear wheels, M.
The rear axle, L, has two cranks, N, on which rods O are pivoted, having their upper ends connected by bars P with the sides of the horse-body, the rods P having the shape of the upper parts of horseis rear legs.
If desired, the rear legs may be of one piece, Q, withoutjoinfs, as shown in Figs. 6, 7, and 8. They are united by a cross-bar, Qf, and are held in place on the horsels body by pins passed through apertures in the upper ends of the bars, orby pins Q2. fixed on and projecting` inward from the upper ends of the legs Q.
W'hen the legs Q are used, the rear aXle is made straight a-nd without cranls.
The operation is as follows: The horse-body is mounted in the usual nianner, and the front wheel, G, revolved by means of the cranks E on the footrests Ef, on which the feet are placed. The rods H J are inoved, and in their movenients reselnble the moving` front legs of the horse. The rearrods, P O, are moved by the cranks N of the rear axle, L, and resernble the moving rear legs of the horse.
The device is steered by turning the fork O by means of its rod A, whereby the wheel G is turned to the right or left. i'
Having thus fully described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. In a hobby-horse, the combination, with the horse-body B, of the steering-rod A, passed down through the body at the base of the neck, the fork C, secured to the lower end of said rod, the axle D, inounted in said forlr, and provided with foot-cranks, the connected rods H J, pivoted, respectively, to the crank-axle and to the fork C, the wheel G, and the rear wheels, M, substantially as set forth, whereby the rods H J will be turned by the yoke without interfering with their action, as described.
2. A hobby-horse coinprising a horse-body,
B, asteerng'rod passed down through the base of the neck thereof, a fork, C, axle D, having foot-cranks E, rods H J, pivoted to the eranks and upper part of the fork and to each other to turn with the fork, the rear supportingrods, K, the orank-axle L, mounted thereon, and the pivoted rods O P, pivotally connected to the oranks of the axle and to the rear part' of the horse-body, whereby the front and rear rods H J O P will be given a movement similar to the legs of a horse in motion and the forward rods allowed to turn with the fork without having their motion interrupted, sul) stantally as set forth.
3. In a hobby-horse, the combination, with the horse-body, of the front driving-wheel, G, the rear aXle, L, the rods K, for holding the same, and the pivoted rods O and bars P, substantially as herein shown .and desoribed.
