BRUSH ATTACHMENT FOR BICYCLE-"CHAINS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 608,609, dated August 9, 1898. Application 310 Junelil, 1897. Serial No. 641,320.. (No model.)
To ctZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FREDERICK G. KIN- NARD, of North Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bicycle-Chain-Oleaning Devices, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a device for keeping the chain of a bicycle free from dust or dirt while in use Without wearing the chain by too much friction and without removing the lubricant therefrom.
The invention consists of a brush attached by a suitable spring-clip to the bicycle-frame, so that the bristles of the brush are in contact with the sprocket-chain and sweep the dust or dirt off as the chain goes around.
The device may be attached to any portion of the bicycle-frame desired, either above or below the sprocket-wheels.
It is preferable to have the brush or brushes come in contact with the chain where it is ascending over one wheel or descending over the other.
In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, similar letters of reference indicate like parts.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a bicycle with my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail side view of the invention.
In the device as shown in the drawings, A is the spring-clip,by means of which the brush is secured to the frame of the bicycle.
B represents the brush portion or bristles; O, the bicycle-frame; D, the chain; E, the large sprocket, and e the small sprocket.
As shown in the drawings, the clip and the portion holding the bristles are constructed of one piece of metal for simplicity, durability, and economy. One end of the metal piece is constructed to hold the bristles B and the other end to form a spring-clip, by means of which the brush is secured to the frame of the bicycle.
While the chain is in motion, the lubricant in use on the chain, if partially removed by the bristles,remains on the bristles and so continuously lubricates the chain.
If desired, thebristles may be treated with a suitable lubricating substance for the express purpose of lubricating the chain as it passes the brushes.
WVith this description of my invention,what I claim is A brush attachment for bicycles consisting of a piece of metal, one end of which is folded over to secure the bristles constituting a brush, the other end of the metal forming a spring-clip forsecuring the brush to the frame of a bicycle, constructed substantially as shown and described and for the purposes specified.
