DESIGN FOR A BICYCLE-FRAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 32,370, dated March 20, 1900; Application filed February 19,1900. Serial No. 5,854. Term of patent 14 years To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES O. E. MAT- THERN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented and produced a certain new and original Design for Bicycle-Frames, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part thereof.

Figure 1 represents the bicycle-frame in side elevation. Fig. 2 shows the same in perspective.

In general outline the frame is of the diamond type, consisting of the socket-head 1, upper tube 2, lower tube 3, the central or forward upright 4, upper rear fork 5, rear fork 6, and the rear upright 7. The crank-hanger or journal-bearing 8 is eylindricin form, and the members of the rear fork 6 are, it will be observed, united at their forward ends to form a crown 9. A cylindric hanger or jour-' nal-bearing 10 appears at the juncture of the fork 5 with the upright 7. When viewed from the side, the forks 5 and 6 and the tube 7 combine to form a triangle.

The essential feature of my design consists in the upper rear fork 5, having the eylindric hanger or journal-bearing 10 at its juncture with the rear upright 7.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The design for a bicycle-frame, substantially as herein shown and described.

CHARLES O. E. MATTHERN.
