Abstract: 30,641. Marling, W. B. Dec. 28. Brakes; supports; locking- apparatus to prevent theft.- Relates to ground brakes which also serve as supports. The invention is shown as applied to a bicycle, but the Provisional Specification states that it is also applicable to tricycles. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, brake blocks B are pivoted on arms A, A' mounted loosely on the chain-wheel boss D and the crank shaft respectively, and normally kept raised by a spring C. The boss of the arm A is connected to the boss of the chain-wheel by a ball or other clutch, so that the crank axle runs free in a forward direction, but during back-pedalling forces the arms A, A' downwards so as to bring the shoes B into contact with the ground, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1. The driving-mechanism is arranged to drive only in a forward direction. A pin mounted in a casing b and actuated by hand or foot by a handle d on a rod c with a crank on its lower end engages a hole a in the arm A so as to hold the brake in operation. A lock e may be used to lock the rod c. In a modified arrangement, the pedal and brake shoe E, Fig. 4, is carried on a bar F sliding in a groove in the crank G and normally kept closed by a spring H acting on a slotted lever k as shown. Pressure on the pedal when in its lowest position forces the rod F outwards and brings the shoe on to the ground.
