Improvements in Driving Chains for use in Bicycles, Tricycles,

Purposes.
ALBERT BAGSILAW, Bk. 86 Park Lane, Aston, Birmingham, Jeweller, and
JOHN TYLER BARNSLEY BENNETT, 2 Villa Road, Handsworth, Agent, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of our improvements in driving chains for use upon cycles and
general machine, for driving purposes, and has reference principally to the manner
in which we provide a revolving roller rivet or stud which has its bearings in the
side links. Thereby cause the chain more effectually to glide swiftly over the
cog wheels & there is also more flexibility given to the chain. In carrying out
our invention we form a steel (or may use other metal) a stud or rivet, or roller,
with shoulders thereto or we make the stud, or rivet roller without shoulders-
& when made without shoulders our improved revolving roller carrys if desired,
an ordinary tube roller or any other roller, thereby making it into a double bear-
ing revolving roller. We make instead of the tube roller used a block roller,
from short pieces of round, or flat steel, curled at each end, or we may make the
block roller, in one coild wire, or we may make from sheet steel, or other metal
a block roller, and curled at each end. When fixing our revolving roller to the
side links, we place a small washer at each end of the revolving roller, and rivet
them thereon or otherwise hold the ends.
In making our improved driving chain, we shall use any class of side links
for our rollers to revolve therein. Our revolving roller with the shoulders thereto
carries no other roller on it, but it is made large enough in its circumference for
all practical purpose.

statement:-
The object of our improvements in driving chains for use upon cycles and
general machine for driving purposes, & has reference principally to the manner
in which we provide a revolving ball roller rivet, or stud, which has its bearing
in the side links, or a hollow ball may be used. Thereby causing the chain,
more effectually to glide swiftly over the cog or sprocket wheels, & there is also
more flexibility given to the chain. -
In carrying out our invention, we form of steel or other metal, a ball roller
rivet, or stud rivet, with shoulders thereto or a hollow tube ball or we make
the stud rivet, without shoulders, and when made without shoulders it carries
an ordinary tube, or, any other roller, or hollow tube ball. Thereby making
it a double bearing revolving roller. When fixing our revolving ball rollers
to the side links, we place a small washer at each end of the revolving roller, &
rivet them thereon, or we screw the shoulders, and put a screw nut thereto, or
otherwise hold the ends. In making our improved driving chain, we shall use
any class of side links for our revolving ball rollers to revolve therein.
Qur
revolving ball roller, with shoulders thereto carries no other roller on it, but it is
made large enough in its circumference for all practical purposes, or the form of
its surface may be made flat, and with shoulders.
In order that our invention may be fully understood, we will more particularly
describe it, with the aid of the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1. Represents in
elevation, a section of the chain and solid balls with their shoulders through the
side links & carrying the washers on their ends. Fig. 2. Represents an elevation
of a solid ball, & its shoulders. Fig. 3. Represent an elevation of a solid ball
with its shoulders screwed. Fig. 4. Represent in elevation, a section of a chain,
with hollow tube balls. Fig. 5. Represent in elevation a piece of tube before it
is formed into a hollow ball. Fig. 6. Represents a side view of a hollow ball
made from tube-a solid ball, b shoulders of solid ball, c screwed ends of solid
ball to receive the nut, d links of the chain, e hollow tube ball, f tube for making
hollow balls, g washers, h rivets.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
1st. The combination, & arrangement in a driving chain, as set forth described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2nd. A ball with shoulders thereto, as set forth, described and illustrated in
Figures 1, 2, & 3.
3rd. A hollow ball made from tube.
