Chan.able Speed Bicycle Gear.

Bicycle riders viii appreciate the utii-
ity of the attactrpent for chainless bcy-
cles here illustrated, which is designed
u decrease 70 q minimum the eHerton
of climbing hills, without the disadvantage
of a. low gear when riding on level.
As will be seen. there are three tootAed
wheels mounted in the same plane on
the rear hub, and the wheel mounted on
the connecting shaft is adapted to sade
back and forth to mesh with either OF
these wheels. In order TO allow the gears
of different diameter TO mesh with the
same driving wheel it was necessary 10
materially change the shape OF tae teeth
from those used ina ordinary meShinG
gears. This change in the shape OF tna
teeth not only allows the wheels OF large
or small diameter to engage the same.
driving wheel, but also permits the teeth
10 slide freely past each other and engage
any other set in the system. To bring the
desired set into action Il lever is mounted
near the crank hanger and connected
with a sleeve at the rear end OF the driv-
ing shaft. This sleeve has free movement
,in line with the shaft, but has a lug ut
ting in a slot in the shaft, TO prevent
it from turning around. The sleeve carries
the small driving wheel, and it IS easy
to see that the movement OF the lever
will throw the desired gear into connec-
ton. The interior OF this device IS j. j.
