Definitions

  • Figure 1 represents, in side elevation, a velocipede embodying this invention
  • Fig. 2 a top "iew thereof
  • Fig. 3 an end view.
  • This invention which consists in improvements in driving and guiding mechanism, is shown as embodied in a velocipede having two wheels, one directly in front of the other, theaxle of the forward wheel'being provided with a crank at each side of the wheel, by which to propel the velocipede, the forward wheel being also so supported as to permit it to be turned to direct the velocipede in the desired path.
  • a and'B are two wheels, of common construction, each upon a separate axle, onewheel being placed directly in front of the other, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the bar 0, connecting the tw axles has at its rear endarms 0, extended down to the axle of wheel B.
  • the two arms 0 a, supporting the axle of the forward wheel A come together above such wheel, and form a pivoted frame for the forward axle, such frame being so pivoted or connected with the bar 0 that the arms, and, by them, the axle carrying'the wheels, may be turned laterally to the right or left (see dotted lines, Fig. 2) of a direct horizontal line, intersecting the axle-of wheel B at right angles with its axis, whereby the position of the forward wheel and the direction of the velocipede may be changed at will.
  • the axle a to which the forward wheel Ais fixed, has, at each side of the wheel, a crank outside the arm supporting it, and on such cranks are placed. treadle or foot pieces F, provided .each with a flat surface (see Fig. 3) for the foot. This foot-piece is extended below the crank-pin, and balanced so as to retainthe flat surface uppermost.
  • a velocipede may be 'driven with great velocity by means of the cranks attached to the forward wheel. The greater the velocity the more easily the upright position of this twowheeled velocipede may be maintained. To turn. the velocipede to either the right or left,
  • a velocipede having a seat fixed with relation to the axles
  • the combination with such a fixed seat, of a forward wheel, its cranked axle and arms to support the forward axle, said arms being pivoted in the fixed seat or bar, to permit it to be changed in position to turn'the wheel to the right or left to change the direction of movement of the velocipede, substantially as described.
  • a fixed saddle-seat aforward-dri'ven wheel, and its axle, provided with cranks at each side the wheels, arms to support the axle, and handles to turn the arms arranged one in front of the othelgtlle cranked and wheel to the Iight Oif left of a-line; drawn axle-a the tre'atlles, and the guiding-arms, to longitudinally through the fixed saddle-seat, operate substantially as and for the purpose substantially as described.
