Improvements in and relating to Velocipedes.
We GEORGE TURNER of 219 Ivydale Road Nunhead Loudon S.E. in the
County of Surrey Engineer and JAMES MALCOLM HAMILTON VENOUR of
4, 5, and 6 Great St. Helens in the County of London Gentleman do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to an improved device for locking the cups or cones of
cycle bearings and hubs.
According to our invention we provide a bearing case or hub of suitable form
with internal thread or screw to receive the bearing cups or cones. At each end.
of the said bearing or hub.case we form lugs of suitable shape and size which are
drilled to receive a bolt or screw which we term the locking bolt or screw.
This said bolt passes through the aforesaid lug at one end of bearing case and
scrows into the lug at other end of bearing case or hub case. To obtain the
necessary spring or grip upon the cups or cones we saw the bearing cases down
about one third the diameter close to the inner sides of the said lugs. Therefore
by screwing up the aforesaid screw or bolt which passes through one lug at one
end of the bearing case and is screwed into the lug provided at other end of
bearing case causes the two lugs to be drawn together and locking the two bearing
cups in position after adjustment by the use of one screw or bolt only.
By this construction we obtain a very simple and accurate adjustment of the
bearings which are both locked and held in position after adjusting the bearing
cups by simply screwing up one screw.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Velocipedes.
We GEORGE TURNER late of 219 Ivydale Road Nunhead, but now of
2 Athenly Road Nunhead both in the County of Kent Engineer and JAMES
MALCOLM HAMILTON VENOUR of 5 Great St. Helens in the City of London
Gentleman 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:-
Our invention relates to an improved device for locking the cups or cones of
cycle bearings and hubs.
According to our invention we provide a bearing case or hub of suitable form
with internal thread or screw to receive the bearing cups or cones.
At each end
of the bearing or hub case we form lugs of suitable shape and size which are

page_text: This said bolt passes through the aforesaid lug at one end of the bearing case
and screws into the lng at other end of bearing case or hub case. To obtain the
necessary spring or grip upon the cups or cones we saw the bearing cases down.
about one third the diameter close to the inner side of the said lugs. Therefore
by screwing up the aforesaid screw or bolt which passes through oue lug at one
end of the hearing case and is screwed into the lug provided at the other end of
bearing cose, causes the two lugs to be drawn together, and locking the two
bearing cups in position after adjustment by the use of one screw or bolt only.
By this construction we obtain a very simple and accurate adjustment of the
bearings which are both locked and held firm in position, after adjusting the
bearing cups, by simply screwing up one screw.
We carry our invention into practice as
drawings:-
shown by the accompanying
Fig. 1. is a sectional drawing of the crank axle bearing, showing outer case, or
bracket A screwed internally at each end to receive the bearing cups, b. b. the
outer case A is also provided with two lugs c. c. drilled and screwed to receive.the
locking screw D. At the side of lugs c. c. the bearing case A. is saw cut or split
as shown at e. e. To lock the bearing cups b. b. it is necessary to screw up screw
or bolt D. and draw the lugs c. c, slightly together thus holding bearing cups b. b.
fast after adjustment, the saw cuts e. e. are covered by the cups b. b. therefore
preventing any dust or dirt from entering the bearings.
Fig. 2. is an end view of bearing case or bracket A. showing lug c. and bearing
cup b. in position. The same device may be applied to hubs for wheels of cycles
in the, same manner as described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:
1. The mode of locking the bearing cups in a bearing case or bracket and
holding sainesin position after adjusting the bearing cups by the use of one screw
only as before described.
2. The bearing case, or hub case, having suitable projections or lugs fórmed at
each end to receive the locking screw or bolt, as herein before described.
3. That the aforesaid device may also be carried into use for hubs of wicels of
cycles in the same manner as described.
