PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in the Mechanical Construction of Velocipedes in
relation to the Gearing or such like and Wheels.
I, GEORGE LIL WALL of Avonside House, Bidford, Stratford-on-Avon, in the
County of Warwick, Gentleman, and THOMAS HARRISON of Priory Works,
Alcester, in the County of Warwick, Velocipede Manufacturer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:
:-
The invention consists of a dual, or union driving wheel to the " "safety"
velocipede; forming one box wheel (as at present in use) but two sets of spokes
with two wheels, with sufficient space between the dual, or union, spokes for the
ordinary cog wheel (which already carries the endless chain) to be fixed round
centre of box, instead of, as at present, at the side of the machine.
The other portion of the gearing will be fixed in a line with the front wheel, thus
affording equal driving power with right or left foot.
This device will also cause the machine to stand erect by means of the dual, or
union, driving wheel, the latter being from one to three inches apart measuring from
the spokes of each wheel, or the like. The invention will enable the rider, of either
sex, to take the seat on the " safety" velocipede before starting the machine,. and
bring the same to a standstill before dismounting.
Dated this 27th day of April 1891.
