PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Brakes for Cycles.
JULIUS GOODMAN 55 Ravenhurst Road Harborne Staffordshire Commercial Traveller
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I make a metal shell upon which I vulcanize or cement or fasten by other means
a sheet of india-rubber of a composition suitable to brakes. This shell is of such a
pattern that it will fit underneath the existing spoon brake & be bolted to it or
rivetted or clamped or secured by other means. So when the rubber is worn down
another shell with rubber attached can be procured and fastened under the spoon
without disturbing the machine in the least.
In the case of new machines is only necessary to bore the existing spoon brake
to allow of the passage of the bolts or rivits to fix it. In the case of a machine the
spoon of which has not been bored, the shell with its rubber attachment can be fixed
by any one with screw clamps.

1 JULIUS GOODMAN of 55 Ravenhurst Road Harborne Staffordshire Commercial
Traveller do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
I make a metal shell, on the under side of which I vulcanize-or fasten by other
means--india-rubber of a composition suitable to brakes. This shell is of such a
pattern that it will fit on or underneath the existing cycle spoon-brake and be bolted
or riveted or clamped or screwed or secured by other means as by springs &c. &c.
So that in case of new machines it is only necessary to bore the existing spoon brake
to allow of the passage of the bolts or rivits. In the case of a machine which has
not had its spoon brake bored, the shell can be fixed by screw clamps or a band
passing over the spoon brake & screwed down to it.
In the illustration in the accompanying drawing I show two forms of this
improved brake.
Fig. 1 is a side view of a pattern for a machine that has had its spoon brake bored
for the passage of the screws shown in the figure. Fig. 2 is the top view of the same.
Fig. 3 is the under side of the shell showing the india rubber (No. 5) & Fig. 4 is
an end view or section showing the india-rubber No. 6. Fig. 7 is a pattern applicable
to any machine and is fixed on by a metal band top and side view of which are
numbered 13 & 14 respectively. No. 8 shows the india-rubber on the underside of
No. 7. No. 9 shows the top side. No. 10 is a side view of the shell with the band
and screws in position & No. 11 is a full section of this pattern showing the
india rubber (No. 12).
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.

3rd. I am aware that india rubber has been vulcanized on to the spoon brake before,
but it has not been fixed to a shell or false brake capable of being easily fastened
on to the existing brake and the latter is what I claim.
