- Our invention consists in so constructing a carriage and adapting to it a shifting rear axle, or axles, and wheels, that it may be arranged or adjusted by the rider, to be used with either one or two wheels in the rear, according to the skill of the person by whom the carriage is to be used, as will be hereinafter more fully explained.
- our invention further consists in making the saddle, or seat, adjustable toward and from the handle and treadles, (or foot-cranks,).to adapt the machine to the use of persons of dilferent sizes.
- our invention further consists in the employment of variable, or adjustable, crank-arms, for the purpose of varying the throw of the treadles, to suit differentriders, and to increase ordiminish the leverage and velocity of the foot-pieces, or stirrups, as will be presently more fully explained.
- our invention further consists in the use of a forked or bifurcated perch, or bar, substantially such as hereinafterdesciibcd, in lieu of the frame-work heretofore used, to hold the rear axle and form the body of the vclo'cipede, as will be hereinafter more fully explained.
- Figure 2 is a top view of the same.
- Figure 3 is a detail partial top view, showing the adaptation of the double running gear at rear of carria e.
- a and B are, respectively, the front and rear axles of the carriage, and y O is the perch, or body, the rear or hind portion of which is made forked, or bifurcated, '(as clearly illustrated in the drawings,] and is proyided or formed with suitable bearing-boxes, for the reception of the axle B.
- the front axle A is suitably hung in the lower end of the straddle or framea, which is arranged to swivel in and supports the-forward end of the perch, or body of the carriage, in the usual manner.
- This seat-bar, or bracket, I reconnected to'the perch- G, by means of clamps ff and set-screws g g, in such a manner that it can be adjusted to, and secured at diflerent points or places on said bar O,-at pleasure.
- cranks c to which are pivoted, in the usual manner, the foot-rests, or stirrups, d, is madcf in two parts, i and j, the former being in each case attached rigidly to the axle A, and the latter coupled, by means of a screw, it, to the former.
- the straddle, or steering-frame, a is. of course provided with suitable handles, or arms, by means of which it is conveniently turned.
- the machine When the machine is to be used by a. novice, (or when the rider begins,) it may be adjusted, or have its running gear arranged in the rear, with the two wheels H H, so that no expertness is required to balance the machine, (on all its wheels.)
- axle Bniay be made so as to fit snugly to the eyes, or hubs, of the porch O, and the wheels H be made to turn free on said axle. And, in lieu of having the projecting or protruding 'endsof axle B, when one of the wheels H is used, a separate and shorter axle may be made to go with each machine, when sold, such as shown at B, fig. 2.
- the hubs, or eyes, of the perch O, fn which the axle B is used may be made of any desired length to throw the wheels far enough apart to suit the beginner, using the double running gear behind.
- the old-fashioned velocipede such as seen at fig. 4, having a heavy frame, or body, 0, with double sidepieces or frame, 1) b, for the reception of the rear axle, is heavy, clumsy, and requires more stock and expense in its manufacture than does ours.
- adjustable or variable saddle, or seat as and for the purposes described.
