JUAN EMILIO N OIRIT, 0F WALSALL, ENGLAND.
VELOCIPEDE-SADDLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 593,831, dated November 9, 1897.
Application filed July 28,1896. Serial No. 600,807. (No model.) Patented in `England .Tune 27,1894,No. 12,460, and in France November 12, 1894, No. 242,816.
To aZZwhom. t may concern,.-
Be it known that I, JUAN EMILIO NOIRIT, a subject of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Walsall, in the county of Staiord,England,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Velocipede-Saddles, of which the following is a specification.
Patents have been granted in England, No. 12,460, dated June 27, 1894, and in France, No. 242,816, dated November 12, 1894.
This invention consists of the herein-described improvements in and connected with velocipede-saddles, the chief object of my invention being to so construct a velocipedesaddle that its shape can be readily altered and adjusted to suit the rider.
I will describe my invention by referring to the accompanying drawings, on which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a velocipede-saddle constructed according to this invention. Fig. 2 is plan of the same, partly in section. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional elevation of the same on line X X of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional elevation on line Y Y, Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a sectional elevation of a slightly-modified form of my invention. Fig. 6 is a part sectional plan of the same, and Figs. 7 and 8 illustrate afurther modification of my invention. Figs. 9 and lO show a further modiication. Fig. 11 is a sectional elevation, and Fig. 12 is a plan, of a further modilication. Fig. 13 is a cross-section on line Z Z of Fig. 12; and Figs. 14 and 15 show parts of the saddle shown in Figs. 11, 12, and 13 separately.
The same letters of reference indicate the same or corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
In carrying out my invention, instead of blocking the leather top part of the saddle in one piece, as is usual, I make the said leather part in two separate pieces, (marked, respectively, A' A2)-that is to say, the saddle-top has the appearance of being divided'ceutrally longitudinally from front to back, leaving a narrow space along the center, each of the two portions A A2 of the leather covering being by preference blocked separately to the required shape. These two portions A A2 of the leather covering of the saddle are, as hereinafter described, so arranged that they can be moved and fixed nearer together or farther apart, so as to alter. the width of the saddle either at the front or back or at both thefront and back to suit dierent riders. This fixing of the two portions A A2 of the leather top part of the saddle to the under frame so that they can be adjusted nearer together or farther apart, as stated above, may be eiected in various ways. For instance, the two portions A A2 of the leather top part of the saddle may, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, each be fixed by rivets b at the back of the saddle to a separate metallic runner or slide, which runners or slides are. marked, respectively,
C. C2 and are arranged to fit on and be guided along and engage with the curved back bar D of the metallic under frame, to which the ends of the spring part E are bolted bythe bolts f f2, each of these runners or slides C C2 being provided with a clamping bolt or screw g, by which the runners C C2 and the two portions A A2 of the leather toppart can be fixed nearer together or farther apart, as may be desired. The bolts g pass through slots in the back bar.
The front end of each of the two'portions A A2 of the leather covering part has or may have fixed to it underneath a small metal socket, which two sockets are marked, respectively, H H2, and are or may be connected together by a right and left hand screw I, passing horizontally through them-that is to say, the portion 4l of the screw I which passes through the bracket H', fixed to the portion A' of the leather covering, is made with a right-hand thread, and the portion 2 of th'e screw I which passes through the bracket H2, fixed to the other portion A2 of the leather covering part, is made with a left-hand threadso that by turning the screw I in one direction the two front endsof the two portions of the leather covering part are brought nearer together and by turning the screw I in the opposite direction they are moved farther apart.
The spring E of the saddle may be of any usual kind made with two limbs, the outer ends of which are connected by the bolts f' f2 to the curved back bar D, the front of the IOO spring being made, as usual, into a loop e', with which thek hooked end of the usual tension-screw J engages, this screw being tapped into the cross-screw I, so that by screwing the screw J farther in or out of the cross-screw I the tension of the leather parts A A2 can be increased or diminished, as required.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the width of the saddle either at the front or back, or both, can readily be increased or diminished to suit dierent riders, and by having the central space all along the saddle between the two upper portions A A2 of the same thorough ventilation of the seat isinsured and any uns dle, the saddle-spring, the cross-screw for addue pressure on the riders seat is obviated.
It will be evident that the construction of the curved back bar D and of the slides C' C2 may be varied in many ways without departing from the natu-re of my invention. For instance, as shown by Figs. landf 6, the curved back bar D. may be made iat. and the run. parts, the runners secured to the back partsthereof and the saddle spring or springswith 7 5 ,adjustable connections between the springs and the runners, said runners being slidable laterally to increasev or decrease the-width el =the saddle. at the rear, substantially as described. bolts j f2 pass, the curved back bar Dv andtoppartshaving the threaded sockets at their i front ends with; the right and lef-t handscrewthreaded rod, the tension-screw connected therewith and with the springs, said' sem being adapted for adjusting the tensionl and ners, C C2 be bolted to the top side of the same by the bolts f' f2, which pass through the slotted holes CZ' d2 therein,A and also. pass through the eyes of the spring E.; or, asshown by Figs. 'Z and 8, the runners C C2 maybe clamped between the cross back bar Dy and another fiat bar K, through all of which the top plate K being slotted to allow of the bolts being moved nearer together or farther apart when the. width of the saddle is being adjusted; or the runners-.0 C20 may, as shownl in Figs. 9 and l0, be made long enough to. Overlapandslide upon each other, so that the; bolts f' f2 will passt-hrough` both` and enable the back bar D to be dispensed with.
The arrangement shown by Figs. 11, 12,13, 14e, and 115, in. which the runners 0' are shown by Figs. 11, l2, 13, 14, and 15 the` runners 0' are slotted for the boltsf f2 to passthrough. andthe back plates K10 andDw are. strengthened: by having ribs-lo' d raisedv upon. them, respectively.
