DESIGN FOR A BICYCLE-SADDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 26,893, dated April 13, 1897.

Application filed December 23, 1896. Serial No. 616,760=l-. Term of patent 7 years.

To (LZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, WARREN II. CRAIG, residing in Lawrence, county of Essex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented and produced a new and original Design for Bicycle-Saddles, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts.

The saddle embodying the design is similar in outline or contour to the saddles heretofore constructed, the said outlines having a main substantially oval portion with a prominent projecting U-shaped curve at one side of the said oval, the portion having oval outlines constituting the seat and cantle portion of the said saddle and the portion bounded by the U shaped curve constituting the porninel.

The leading feature of the design resides in the shape or configuration of the upper surface of the said saddle, which has two rounded portions a, substantially covering and conforming in shape to the main oval portion of the saddle and being substantially wholly at the rear of the extension I) or poinmel portion of the saddle at the forward side of the oval.

As has been stated, the said rounded poro tions at, taken together, are substantially oval in shape, but are separated by a channel or depression 19 in line with the pommel portion 1) and substantially on a level therewith.

The front sides of the two rounded portions at are shown as inclined forward somewhat toward the poinlnel portion 11 the saddle as a whole approaching the shape of a pear flattened at one side and having a longitudinal channel formed in the flattened side. The said rounded portions rise substantially above the surface of the ponn'nel portion 1) and the channel or main surface of the saddle, which is on about the same level as that of the said pommel portion. The sides of said rounded portions where they adjoin the surface b and po1n1nel portion 1) are curved upward, the curve, however, be ing somewhat abrupt, so that the upper surface of said rounded portions are not widely separated by the channel 19 hat I claim is- The design for a bicycle-saddle, substantially as herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

WARREN H. CRAIG.
