CHARLES F. WHALEY, OF ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA.
BICYCLE-PEDAL STIRRU P.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 621,191, dated March 14, 1899.
Application filed November 26, 1895. Serial No. 570,177. (No model.)
:20 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHA LES F. WHALEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bicycle-Pedal Stirrnps, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to stirrups adapted to be attached to bicycle-pedals; and it consists in the construction, combination, and
. arrangement of parts, as hereinafter shown and described, and specifically pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings, Figurel is a semisectional end elevation, Fig. 2 is a front elevati0n,and Fig. 3 is a plan view, of a bicycle-pedalwith my improved stirrup attached thereto. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the metal baseframe of the stirrup detached.
This device may be attached to any form of bicycle-pedal; but for the purpose of illustration I have shown it attached to a pedal of approved form, A representing the central stud, on which the sleeve A turns, which supports the end bars A A and the foot-bars A A, the latter having the points a to receive the foot of the rider and prevent slipping.
Attached to one of the foot-bars A or A is a metal base-frame, consisting of the rear bar B, attached by one or more bolts 62 to one of the foot-bars A or A and having its ends 6 6 turned outward, and with a bar B project ing forward in line with the tops of the footbars and ending in a laterally-extended end B with its outer edge curved to conform somewhat to the toe of the shoe of the rider.
The upper section D of the stirrup is formed of leather, rubber, or some other suitable flexible material or fabric and formed somewhat T shaped, with the ends 6 e curved downward on each side and riveted or otherwise secured to the ends 6 e of the base and with the other end 6 crimped into a curved form to'conform to the shape of the toe of the rider, and attached to the laterally-extended end B by sewing or riveting, as shown. By this arrangement the flexible section D fits over the toe of the rider and supports his foot in place and prevents displacement when the pedals are revolving rapidly.
By forming the upper section D of flexible material, such as leather, no harsh metal substance comes in contact with the sensitive portions of the foot about the upper part of the toes or sides of the forward part of the foot, the stirrups thus closely resembling a shoe or boot and with the same agreeable and comfortable feeling.
Having thus described my invention,what I claim as new is The combination with a bicycle-pedal of a toe-support adapted to be attached thereto consisting of a plate having a cross piece at its rear end, the ends of said cross-piece being bent outwardly and at right angles thereto, and a substantially T-shaped non-metallic flexible portion secured to said toe-plate and bent ends and extending thereover, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
CHARLES F. WHALEY.
In presence of-- R. M. BOWLER, J. J. DWYER.
