BlCYCLE-HANDLE-BAR GRIP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 701,437, dated June 3, 1902. Application filed May 27, 1901. Serial No. 62,102. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN F. WHEELER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, in the county of WVayne, State of Michigan, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Bicycle-Handle-Bar Grips; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to hand-grips for bicycle handle-bars; and it consists in the con struction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully set forth, andpointed out particularly in the claims.
The object of the invention is to produce a hand-grip of the character described having an outer covering of leather and in which the arrangement is such as to obviate a protruding of the margin of the seam which unites the halves of the leather cot or covering, to insure the perfect fitting of the leather covering to the core or shell, and to provide for thefastening of the ferrule at the end of the grip in a manner to securely retainit in place and at the same time confine the end of the leather covering embraced by said ferrule and prevent the protrusion of the sharp edge of the ferrule.
The above object is attained by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bicyclehandle-bar grip involving my invention, a-
portion of the grip being broken away to show construction of parts. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the leather cot or covering before being turned to embrace the core, showing the protruding margin of the seam at the point where the sides of the covering or cot are united. V Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through the grip before the edge of the ferrule has been turned inwardly. Fig. 4 is a like section through the completed article. Fig. 5 is an elevation of the wooden core, upon which the leather covering is mounted. Fig.
6 is a transverse section through the covering-leather, as on line 6 6 of Fig. 2. Fig. 7 is a transverse section through the grip, as on line 7 7 of Fig. 3. Fig. Sis an enlarged detail of the grip in longitudinal section.
Referring to the characters of reference, 1 designates a wooden shell of suitable shape and dimensions, which forms the core of the grip and is provided with a bore 2, adapted to receive the end of the handle-bar. (Not shown.) Formed in the opposite sides of the core and extending longitudinally thereof and across the cores closed end is a continuous medial channel 3. At or adjacent the inner open end of the core is an annular shoulder which is crossed by the terminals of said channel, as shown at 5 in Fig. 5..
The leather cot or covering of the grip is composed of two opposed blanks 6, which are shaped in suitable dies and Whose meeting margins 7 are sewed together with their outer faces in contact by a line of stitchingjS, passing entirely through the blanks near their edges. (See Fig. 2.) The sides ofthe leather covering are sewed together with the flesh or unfinished side of the leather outmost. In order'to avoid the protruding of the margin of the'seam 7 when the covering is placed upon the core, said covering after being sewed is reversed or turned, so as to present the finished side of the leather outermost and cause the margin of the seam 7 to extend inwardly. The covering is then placed upon the corel so that the margin of the seam 7 will lie in the channel 8, as clearly shown in Fig, 7, thereby ridding the exterior surface of the grip from the marginal projections of the seam caused by the united halves of the covering and rendering it smooth to the grasp of the hand. The leather covering is cut to such size as to cause the inner end thereof, when the covering is placed upon the core, to extend over the shoulder 4 and lie upon the outer surface 9 of said shoulder, so as to be embraced by the ferrule 10 when placed thereon. The width of the ferrule is such that the straight edge thereof when said ferrule is put in position extends over the shoulder i on the core, so that when the edge of said ferrule is turned inwardly, as shown at 11 in Figs. 4 and 8, the leather covering is forced inward behind said shoulder to more securely retain the leather in place and at the same time lock the ferrule onto the core .to prevent its withdrawal by reason of the engagement of the inwardly-turned edge 11 behind the shoulder of the core, obviating the use of brads or other fastening means to retain the ferrule securely in position. As an additional means for securing the covering upon the core, glue or other suitable adhesive may be employed, which is placed upon the core before the leather is forced into position thereon. By turning the edge of the ferrule downward or inward, as described, to lock the ferrule in place the sharp edge of the ferrule is depressed, so that it will not scratch or cut the hand, as would result were the edge of the ferrule allowed to project above the surface of the leather covering.
Having thus fully set forth my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patient, is-
1. In a device for the purpose set forth, the combination with an oblong core adapted to be secured tothe end of a handle-bar and having an exterior channel extending longitudinally along its opposite faces and around its outer end; of a covering of two members sewed together by through-stitches near their edges with their outer faces in contact and placed upon the core with the projecting margin of the seam lying in said channel, and a socket-ferrule surrounding the inner open end of the core andthe inner end of the covering and clamping these two parts .to gether.
2. In a device for the purpose set forth, the combination of a core' having a shoulder formed near and facing away from one end thereof, a covering embracing said core and extending across said shoulder, and a socketferrule mounted upon the end of the core and upon the covering and having its edge turned inward and into direct contact with the covering so as to force the latter against said shoulder and lock itself and the covering to the core.
In testimony whereof I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
