of
Improvements in Tricycles and other Velocipedes, Parts
which Improvements are Applicable to Bicycles of a Certain
Construction.
JOHN FARRAN of 17 Trafalgar Square Brooks Bar near Manchester in the
County of Lancaster Mechanician do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows :-
:-
My invention relates to tricycles and other velocipedes of the kind in which the
feet of the rider act upon pedals carried upon levers oscillating upon a pivot or
pivois or other suitable bearing or bearings.
In carrying my invention into effect I mount upon the axle of the machine clutch
arrangements similar in construction to those described in the Specification filed in
respect of the application for Letters Patent No. 16157 dated December 9th 1884
granted unto me. The straps or chains connected to the drums of such clutch
arrangements are each connected to one of the pedals of the machine and the springs
by which the pedals are raised are connected to the framework of the machine.
I form the boss of each of the clutch arrangements above mentioned with suitable
clutch teeth and upon the axle of the machine and so as to be capable of being
slidden thereon I mount collars provided with suitable clutch teeth. The collars
before mentioned are prevented from being turned upon the shaft before referred to
by means of a key and groove or any oquivalent or equivalents therefor. Upon the
frame-work of the machine I mount a shaft which is provided with a handle by
which it may be oscillated. Upon the said shaft and loose thereon I mount collars
between which and around the shaft is a coiled spring. When the handle aforesaid
is in its normal position the collars upon the said shaft by means of projecting
parts cause the clutch teeth of the collars upon the axle of the machine to engage
with the corresponding teeth of the clutch arrangements before mentioned and when
either of the pedals is depressed the axle of the machine will be rotated and the
machine will be propelled. When the handle before mentioned is moved from its
normal position the teeth of the collars mounted upon the shaft above-mentioned so
as to be capable of being slidden thereon will be taken out of gear with those of the

page_text: clutch arrangements-aforesaid and the movement of the pedals will cease to act upon
the axle of the machine. By means of the above described arrangements the machine
may be moved backwards or forwards as desired without acting upon the pedals.
I attach to that part of the clutch box to which the band or chain above mentioned
is connected a projecting part which at times arrives against a fixed part and so
prevents the pedal from being raised by the spring above referred to more than a
certain distance.
A further part of my invention consists in arrangements by which I cause the
descent of one of the pedals to raise the other pedal. To accomplish this part of my
invention I provide each of the clutch boxes acted upon by the pedals with a pulloy
which is connected by a band or chain to pulleys mounted fast upon a shaft carried
in bearings formed upon the framework of the machine. When either of the pedals
is depressed it will by means of the pulleys and bands or chains before referred to
cause the other pedal to ascend.
I mount the driving wheels of the machine loose upon the axle before-mentioned
and connect them to the said axle by means of pawls and clutch arrangements similar
to those described and shown in the specification filed in respect of the application
for the Letters Patent before referred to.
A further part of my invention relates to an arrangement of brake to be used in
tricycles or other velocipedes constructed as above described and also to those
tricyles or other velocipedes in which the wheels at opposite sides of the machine at
times rotate independently of each other. To accomplish this part of my invention
I employ a handle having a shank provided with a screwed-portion which takes into
screw-threads formed in a bracket secured to the framework of the machine.
Connected to the said bracket is an arm to one end of which is secured a brake
which acts upon-a-boss fast-with-one-of-the-wheels-of-the-machine.or_upon any other
suitable and convenient part of the machine. The other end of the lever above-
mentioned rests against the lower end of the screwed portion-above-mentioned. By
turning the above-mentioned handle the brake may be applied to or removed from
the boss or other suitable and convenient part of the machine above referred to. In
cases in which it is desired to apply a brake to both driving wheels I employ a brake
arranged to act upon a boss fast with the driving wheel or other convenient and
suitable part of the machine which is at the side of the machine opposite to that at
which the handle above-mentioned is situate and connect such brake to the said
handle by means of a shaft or in any other convenient manner.
A further part of my invention consists in arrangements by means of which I
render tricycles or otlier velocipedes more convenient for being passed through
narrow door-ways or passages or for being transported by railway or other conveyance
than they have hitherto been. To accomplish the object of this part of my invention
I so form that portion of the frame-work of the machine to which the fork carrying
the axle of the steering wheel is connected by a pivot or pivots that such portion
of the frame-work can be detached from the portion of the framework which is carried
by the axle of the machine. To allow the said portions of the framework to be
detached from each other as above-described I provide either the part of the
framework which is carried by the axle of the machine or that portion of the
framework to which the fork carrying the axle of the steering wheel is connected
by a pivot or pivots, with a suitable socket or sockets and provide the other of the
said portions of the frame-work with a suitable part or parts capable of passing into
the said socket or sockets. I also provide the socket or part or sockets or parts
above-mentioned with set-screws or other suitable apparatus by means of which the
aforesaid portions of the framework may be secured together. The apparatus by
means of which the steering of the tricycle or other velocipede is effected may be
attached to the portion of the frame-work of the machine connected to the steering
wheel or may be connected to the steering-wheel in any suitable manner. By
removing that portion of the framework which is carried by the steering-wheel from
the portion of the framework which is carried by the axle of the machine and also
removing the driving-wheels from the said axle the tricycle or other velocipede is

page_text: rendered capable of being passed through narrow doorways and of being readily
transported by railway or other conveyance.
A further part of my invention relates to a construction of clutch boxes for use in
those bicycles and tricycles or other velocipedes which are propelled by means of
pedals carried upon levers oscillating upon a pivot or pivots or other suitable bearing
or bearings and operating such clutch boxes by means of bands or chains and my
invention consists in arrangements by which I am enabled to cause the catch or catches
or detent or detents employed to engage with the clutch box in conjunction with which
it or they acts or act or to be held clear thereof. In carrying this part of my
invention into effect I attach to that part of each clutch box to which the band or
chain is connected a stud upon which is a lever one end of which is formed as a pawl
or click. The remaining end of the said lever passes through a hole formed through
the part of the clutch box to which the band or chain is attached. The lever above
mentioned is acted upon by a spring which tends to force it out of contact with that
part of the clutch box which is fast upon the axle which is to be driven or rotated.
When the band or chain above mentioned is acted upon by the descent of the pedal
the said band or chain acts upon the lever above mentioned and causes the pawl or
click to act upon teeth or bind upon that part of the clutch box which is fast upon
the axle which is to be driven or rotated. During the ascent of the pedal the spring
before-mentioned moves the click or pawl clear of that part of the clutch-box which
is fast upon the shaft which is to be driven or rotated. In order to raise the pedal
after it has been depressed I employ a spring which turns the part of the clutcli-box
to which the band or chain above mentioned is connectod in a direction opposite to
that in which it is turned as the pedal is depressed.
The above mentioned lever instead of being provided with a pawl or click as
previously described may be formed with a part or parts to embrace or bind upon or
in the portion of the clutch-box fast upon the axle which is to be rotated and thus
the use of ratchet teeth may be avoided.
In the preceding description I have in some cases for convenience referred to parts
more than one of which is employed in each of the machines to which my invention
relates as though one only of such parts was employed but I would have it understood
that the various parts are employed in the number which may be required in each
machine constructed according to my invention.

Improvements in Tricycles and other Velocipedes, Parts of
which Improvements are Applicable to Bicycles of a Certain
Construction.
I JOHN FARRAN of 17 Trafalgar Square Brooks' Bar near Manchester in the
county of Lancaster Mechanician 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 :
My invention rolates to tricycles and other velocipedes of the kind in which the feet
of the rider act upon pedals carried upon levers oscillating upon a pivot or pivots or
other suitable bearing or bearings.
In carrying my invention into effect I mount upon the axle of the machine clutch
arrangements similar in construction to those described in the Specification filed in
respect of the application for Letters Patent No. 16157 dated December 9th 1884
granted unto me The straps or clains connected to the drums of such clutch
arrangements are each connected to one of the pedals of the machine and the
springs by which the pedals are raised are connected to the framework of the
machine.
I form the boss of each of the clutch arrangements above mentioned with suitable
clutch teeth and upon the axle of the machine and so as to be capable of being slidden
thereon mount collars provided with suitable clutch teeth-The collars before
mentioned are prevented from being turned upon the shaft before referred to by
means of a key and groove or any equivalent therefor-Upon the framework of the
machine I mount a shaft which is provided with a handle by which it may be
oscillated-Upon the said shaft and loose thereon I mount collars between which and
around the shaft is a coiled spring-When the handle aforesaid is in its normal
position the collars upon the said shaft by means of projecting parts cause the clutch
teeth of the collars upon the axle of the machine to engage with the corresponding
teeth of the clutch arrangements before mentioned and when either of the pedals is
depressed the axle of the machine will be rotated and the machine will be propelled―
When the handle before mentioned is moved from its normal position the teeth of the
collars mounted upon the shaft above mentioned so as to be capable of being slidden
thereon will be taken out of gear with those of the clutch arrangements aforesaid and
the movement of the pedals will cease to act upon the axle of the machine By means
of the above described arrangements the machine may be moved backwards or
forwards as desired without acting upon the pedals-Í attach to that part of the
clutch box to which the band or chain above mentioned is connected a projecting part
which at times arrives against a fixed part and so prevents the pedal from being raised
by the spring above referred to more than a certain distance.
In order that my invention may be understood I will describe the same by reference
to the drawings hereunto annexed in which drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a

page_text: tricycle constructed according to my invention with one driving wheel omitted and
Fig. 2 a plan of a tricycle constructed according to my invention-Fig. 3 is a front
elevation with certain parts removed and certain parts in section and is drawn tipon a
larger scale than Figs. 1 and 2 and Figs. 4 and 5 show detached portions and are also
drawn upon a larger scale than Figs. 1 and 2.
of the
I mount upon the axle a of the machine clutch arrangements, similar in
construction to those described in the specification filed in respect of the application
for Letters Patent No. 16157 dated December 9th 1884 granted unto me-The straps
or chains
c connected to the drums d, d' of such clutch arrangements b, bare
respectively connected to the pedals e, e¹ of the machine-The pedals e, e' are capable
of being oscillated upon a bar/supported by brackets g¹ secured to the framework y
of the machine-The spring by which the pedal e is raised is connected at one end to
the portion d² of the clutch d its other end being connected to the framework
machine The spring by which the pedal e' is raised is connected at one end to the
of
portion of the clutch d' its other end being connected to the framework
the machine-1 form the bosses h, of the clutch arrangements d d above men-
tioned with suitable clutch teeth and upon the axle a of the machine and so as to
be capable of being slidden thereon I mount collars k, provided with suitable clutch
teeth 7, P-The collars k, kare prevented froni being turned upon the axle u by
means of keys m, m' and grooves-Upon the framework g of the machine I mount a
shaft a provided with a handle n' by means of which it may be oscillated-The shaft n
is prevented from being moved longitudinally by means of suitable collars.
n
Upon the shaft and loose thereon I mount collars o, o' between which and around
the shaft n is a coiled spring p-The collars o, o' one of which is shown upon a larger
scale in Fig. 4 are provided with slots q, q' into which respectively project pins r, _
The collars 0,
o are provided with inclines s, s' which inclines act respectively against.
inclines t, secured to the framework g-Secured upon the collars o, o' respectively
are set hoops u, u*, u', u'*-Between the set hoops u, u* and embracing the collar o
is one end of an arm the other end of which is formed as a fork the ends of which
pass into a groove formed around the collar k-Between the set hoops ', u'* and
embracing the collar o' is one end of an arm the other end of which is formed as a
fork the ends of which pass into a groove formed around the collar -When the
handle n' is moved in the direction indicated by the arrow A from the position in
which it is shown in the drawing, which position may be called its normal position, the
turning of the shaft n will cause the inclines s, s¹ to act against the fixed inclines t, th
and the collars o, o' will be thereby caused to approach each other thereby with-
drawing the clutch teeth jj of the collars kk' out of gear with the clutch teeth 1, 11
and the pedals e, e¹ will cease to act upon the axle a of the machine-By means of the
above described arrangements the machine is enabled to be moved backwards or
forwards without acting upon the pedals e, e¹-I attach to the drums d, d¹ of the
clutch arrangements b, to which the straps or chains c, c¹ are respectively attached,
projecting parts which projecting parts arrive respectively against projecting
parts secured to the framework g and thereby prevent the pedals e, e' from being
raised more than a certain distance--One only of the projecting parts d and one only
of the projecting parts g is shown in the drawing.
A further part of my invention consists in arrangements by which I cause the
descent of one of the pedals to raise the other pedal-Fig. 6 is a plan of so much of a
tricycle as is requisite to illustrate this portion of my invention-w is the framework
of the machine which is carried by the axle upon which are clutch arrangements y, y'
which although not so shown may be similar to those hereinbefore referred to and are
acted upon by the pedals which are not shown in the said figure-I provide the clutch
arrangements y, y with pulleys 2, 2 respectively-To the circumference of the
pulley is secured one end of a band or chain 1 the other end of which is secured to
the circumference of a pulley 2 fast upon a short shaft 3 capable of being turned in
bearings 4 secured to the framework w of the machine--To the circumference of the
pulley is secured one end of a band or chain 1" the other end of which is secured to
the circumference of a pulley 2ª fast upon the shaft 3-The band or chain i passes to

page_text: the lower side of the pulley 2 while the band or chain 1ª passes to the upper side of
the pulley 2 as shown in the diagram Fig. 7-When the pedal B is depressed
it will by means of the pulley, band or chain 1, pulley 2, shaft 3, pulley 2, band or
chain 1 and pulley z' cause the pedal C to ascend and in like manner when the
pedal C is depressed it will by means of the pulley, band or chain 1ª, pulley 2,
shaft 3, pulley 2, band or chain 1 and pulley cause the pedal B to ascend."
I mount the driving wheels of the inachines constructed according to my invention
loose upon the axles upon which they are mounted and connect them to the said axles
by means of pawls and clutch arrangements similar to those described and shown in
the Specification filed in respect of the application for the Letters Patent before
referred to.
A further part of my invention relates to an arrangement of brake to be used in
tricycles and other velocipedes constructed as above described and also in those
tricycles or other velocipedes in which the wheels at opposite sides of the machine at
times rotate independently of each other-To accomplish this part of my invention
which is illustrated by Figs. 1, 2 and 5 I employ a handle 4 having a shank 5 which
is supported in a tubular bearing 6 in which it is capable of being turned which
bearing 6 is formed upon the frame g-The shank 6 is provided with a screwed
portion 7 the threads of which screwed portion 7 take into screw threads formed in
the bearing 6-Secured to the frame g is a bracket 8 provided with a stud 9 upon
which and capable of being turned thereon is an arm 10-To one end of the arm 10
is secured one end of a brake 11 which at times acts upon a boss 12 fast with the
wheel D of the machine or upon any other suitable and convenient part-The other
end of the brake 11 is secured to a bracket 13 secured to the frame g-The end 10° of
the arm 10 rests against the lower end 5° of the shank 5 above mentioned-By turning
the above mentioned handle 4 in a suitablo direction the end 10 of the lever 10 will
be turned in the direction indicated by the arrow E and will cause the brake 11 to
press against the boss 12-When the handle 4 is turned in a direction opposite to
that above described the brake 11 will be moved out of contact with the boss 12.
In cases in which it is desired to apply a brake to both driving wheels I employ a
brake arranged to act upon a boss 12 fast with the driving wheel F or other con-
venient and suitable part of the machine which is at the side of the machine opposite
to that at which the handle 4 above mentioned is situate and connect such brake to
the said handle 4 by means of a shaft or in any other convenient manner.
A further part of my invention which is illustrated by Figs. 1, 2 and 6 before
referred to consists in arrangements by means of which I render tricycles or other
velocipedes more convenient for being passed through narrow doorways or passages
or for being transported by railway or other conveyance than they have hitherto
been-To accomplish this part of my invention I form the portion of the frame-
work g of the machine to which the fork 14 carrying the axle 15 of the steering
wheel 16 is connected by a pivot or pivots that such portion g³ of the framework can
be detached from the portion of the framework g which is carried by the axle a of
the machine-To allow the said portions g3 g of the framework y to be detached from
each other as above described I provide the part 9 of the framework g carried by
the axle a of the machine with a socket 17 and provide the portion g³ of the
frame 9 with a suitable part 18 capable of passing into the said socket 17-1 also
provide the socket 17 with set screws 19 or other suitable apparatus by means of
which the portions 93 and 1 of the framework may be secured together-If
desired the socket 17 may be formed upon the portion of the framework and the
portion of the framework g provided with a projecting part to pass into the said
Socket.
g
The apparatus by means of which the steering of the tricycle or other velocipede
is effected may be attached to the portion g³ of the framework of the machine
connected to the steering wheel 16 or may be connected to the steering wheel 16 in
any suitable manner.
By removing that portion 93 of the framework g which is carried by the steering
wheel 16 from the portion g' of the framework 9 which is carried by the axle a of the

page_text: machine and if necessary one or both of the driving wheels D F from the said axle a
the tricycle or other velocipede is rendered capable of being passed through narrow
doorways and of being readily transported by railway or other conveyance. In order to
enable the driving wheel F to be readily removed from the machine I mount the wheel F
and clutch box 20 as shown in Fig. 6 upon a spindle 21 which passes into a hole
formed within the axle. The spindle 21 is secured to the axle by means of the
cotter 21°, passing through the axle and spindle 21-After the cotter 21" has been
removed the spinille 21 clutch box 20 and wheel F may be readily removed from the
machine. In most cases the removal of one driving will will be found sufficient but
if it be desired the other driving wheel D may be connected to the axle in a manner
similar to that above described.
In some instances in order to facilitate the removal and replacing of a portion of
the framework of the tricycle, the steering wheel and one of the driving wheels [
employ the arrangement shown in Figs. 6 and 6 according to which arrangement
the driving wheel removed from the machine remains attached to the portion of the
framowork which is removed and which is carried by the steering wheel, Fig. 6B
showing certain of the parts as they appear when removed from the other portion of
the machine.
According to this arrangement I provide the portion 47ª of the framework which is
to be removed with a projecting bracket 47 which embraces a boss 48 formed on the
spindle 49. The spindle 49 passes into a hole formed in the axle 50 and is provided with
screw threuls which take into corresponding screw threads formed in the said axle 50.
Upon the spindle 49 is fastened a collar 49-When the set screws 51 which secure
the portion 47 of the framework to the portion 47 of the framework of the machine
when in use are removed and the spindle 49 is unscrewed from the axle 50 the
portion 47 of the framework the driving wheel 52 and the steering wheel may be
removed from the other portion of the tricycle. I form the flattened portions 53 upon
the spindle 49 upon which a key may be placed for scrowing or unscrewing the
spindle 49 to or from the axle 50. If necessary or desirable a pin may be passed
through the axle 50 and the spindle 19 in order to prevent the spindle 49 from
becoming unscrewed from the axle 50 when the machine is being used.
In order to enable the tricycle or other velocipede to be moved round a curve 1
provide the axle upon which the driving wheels are mounted with clutch boxes 20, 20ª
which allow the driving wheels D. F to be revolved each at a different velocity when
required.
A further part of my invention relates to a construction of clutch boxes for use in
those bicycles and tricycles or other velocipedes which are propelled by means of
pedals carried upon levers oscillating upon a pivot or pivots or other suitable bearing
or bearings and operating upon clutch boxes by means of bands or chains and this
part of my invention consists in arrangements by which I am enabled to cause the
catch or catches or detent or detents employed to engage with the clutch box in con-
junction with which it or they acts or act or to be held clear thereof. One method of
carrying this part of my invention into effect is shown by Fig. 8 which is an elevation
of so much of a clutch box as is requisite to illustrate this part of my invention
and upon a larger scale in Fig. 9 in which certain parts are omitted.
To the part 22 of each clutch box I attach a stud 23 upon which and capable of
being turned thereon is a lever 24 one part of which is formed as a pawl or click 25-
The end 24" of the lever 24 passes through a hole 26 formed through the flange of
the part 22 of the clutch box and the band or chain 27 which acts upon the clutch
box is secured to the end 24" of the lever 24-28 is a spring one end of which is
secured to a bracket 29 secured to the part 22 of the clutch box the other end of the
said spring 28 being secured to one end of a lever 30 capable of being turned on a
stud 31 secured to the part 22 of the clutch box-The lever 30 is provided with a
part 30 which at times acts upon the lever 24-When the band or chain 27 is drawn
in the direction indicated by the arrow G by the descent of the pedal the lever 24
will be turned in the direction indicated by the arrow H and thereby turn the
lever 30 in a like direction-The said movement of the lever will cause the pawl or

page_text: click 25 to take into the teeth 32 of that part of the clutch box which is fast upon the
axle which is to be rotated and which will thus be rotated in the direction indicated
by the arrow J-When the pedal aforesaid is caused to ascend by means of a spring
as previously described in a former part of this specification the lever 24 being no
longer drawn in the direction indicated by the arrow H the spring 28 turning the
lever 30 in a direction opposite to that in which it is previously described as being
turned the pawl or click 25 will be raised clear of the teeth 32.
The movement of the clutch box in a direction opposite to that indicated by the
arrow J is limited by a part 30 projecting from one side of the lever 30 arriving
against a stop w' attached to the framework w or a yielding stop similar to the one
to be hereinafter described may be employed.
In some cases instead of forming the pawl or click 25 as a part of the lever 24 I
employ the arrangement shown in Fig. 94 in which arrangement the click or pawl 25
is mounted upon a stud 24 secured to the lover 24 upon which stud 24 the click or
pawl 25 is free to be turned-By being mounted upon the stud 24° the click or
pawl 25 is enabled to more readily pass into gear with the teeth 32.
A modification of this part of my invention is shown by Figs. 6 and 10 and upon
a larger scalo by Fig. 11 in which figure certain parts are omitted-To the part 33
of the clutch box mounted loose upon the axle is secured a stud 34 upon which is
mounted a lever 35 one end of which is formed as a click or pawl 36-To the other
end of the lever 35 is secured one end of a spring 37 the other end of which spring 37
is secured to a stud 37" projecting from the part 33 of the clutch box. The spring 37
tends to draw the click or pawl 36 clear of the teeth 38. formed upon that part 39 of
the clutch box which is fast upon the axle-Upon a stud 40 secured to the part 33
of the clutch box is mounted a lover 41 one end of which projects through an
opening 12 formed through the flange of the part 33.
The lever 41 is provided with a part 41 which projects over the end 35ª of the
lever 35. When the part 33 of the clutch box is turned in the direction indicated by
the arrow K by the descent of the pedal the end 42 of the opening 42 arriving
against the lever 41 will cause the part 41° to force the click or pawl 36 into gear
with the teeth 38 and thereby cause the axle to be rotated in the direction indicated
by the arrow K-When the pedal is allowed to ascend the end 42" of the opening 42
no longer acting against the lever 41 the spring 37 will remove the click or pawl 36
clear of the teeth 38.
To the framework w I secure a tube 43 in which I place a spring 44 such spring 44
supporting a piston 45 the upward movement of which is governed by a nut 46 upon
the said piston 45 arriving against the bottom of the tube 43-When the pedal is
perimitted to ascend the rotation of the clutch in the direction opposite to that
indicated by the arrow K will cause the end of the lever 41" to arrive against the
upper end of the piston 45 thereby causing the click or pawl 36 to be brought by the
part 41 into gear with the teeth 38.
The above mentioned levers 24 and 35 instead of being provided with pawls or
clicks as previously described may be each formed with a part or parts to embrace
or bind upon or in the portion of the clutch box fast upon the axle which is to be
rotated and thus the use of ratchet teeth may be avoided.
In the preceding description 1 have in some cases for convenience referred to parts
more than one of which is employed in each of the machines to which my invention
relates as though one only of such parts was employed but 1 would have it understood
