I HENRY WILLIAM HOLLOWAY of 15" Gatteridge Street] Banbury Oxfordshire,
Ironmonger's clerk do hereby declare the nature of my invention for SUSPENDING
LAMPS BY MEANS OF BALL BEARINGS WORKING ROUND THE AXLES OR OTHER PART
OF VELOCIPEDES, CYCLES OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR OBJECT BY MEANS OF METAL
BALLS OR SPHERES WORKING WITHIN A GROOVED GUIDE ROUND THE AXLE OR OTHER
PART, whether midway between the hubs or in any other position encircling the axle
or other part with balls or spheres of any required size or number. such balls or
spheres working partly within a prepared groove in the axle and partly within
another groove formed in the inner collars, such inner collars ff being in two halves
prepared with screw threads working within a corresponding thread on the inner
part of an outer band or collar e. for the purpose of securing and adjusting the same
and with lug for attaching the lamp and for the purpose of fitting the collars and
grooves to axles or other part without removal of either hub h. I would form the
outer band e. e. in two halves provided with other lugs n. n. and secured by screws
through the lugs-while each half of the inner collar I make in two parts such inner
collar in either case being screwed up and adjusted to the requisite nicety by means
of sinkings o. o. from the outer faces and suitable spanner or by any other means
for applying Ball bearings or spheres working within a groove or grooves. In the

I HENRY WILLIAM HOLLOWAY of 15" Gatteridge Street, Banbury in the County of
Oxford, Ironmongers' Clerk 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 :-
For Improvements in bearings for suspending the lamps from the axles or other
part of Velocipedes, Cycles, or any other Vehicle or object by means of metal balls or
spheres working within a grooved guide round the axle or other part whether
midway between the hubs or in any other position encircling the axle or other part
with balls or spheres of any required size or number such balls or spheres working
partly within a prepared groove in the axle and partly within another groove formed
in the inner collars, such inner collars ff being in two halves prepared with screw
threads working within a corresponding thread on the inner part of an outer band or
collar e for the purpose of securing and adjusting the same and with lug for attaching
the lamp, and for the purpose of fitting these collars and grooves to axles or other
parts without removal of either hub h. I would form the outer band ee in two halves
provided with other lugs n. n. and secured by screws through the lugs or by any other
mode of securing them, while each half of the inner collar I make in two parts such
inner collars in either case being screwed up and adjusted to the requisite nicety by
means of sinkings 0. 0. from the outer faces and suitable spanner, or by any other
means for applying Ball bearings or spheres working within a groove or grooves.
In the drawings accompanying my provisional Specification Figure 1 being a
transverse section A B C D through the axle g. spheres s. grooves, inner collars f. f.
outer collar e, lugs n. n. and 1, and screws. Figure 2. A B C D. is a transverse
section of axle showing in clevation the side face of inner collar, outer collar,
and lugs n. n. and 1. Figure 3. is a perpendicular section C. D. in line of axle,
showing part of axle, the grooves, Spheres, Inner and outer collars and the lug 1, the
dotted lines showing also the inner collars before being screwed into position.
Figure 4. A B. is plan showing upper part of outer collar, lugs n. n. and the heads of
screws, the dotted lines also showing the inner collars before being screwed into
position. Figure 5. is a horizontal section A. B. showing the axle g. m. the spheres s. s.
grooves formed partly out of part of axle to be there, swelled out, raised or otherwise
prepared for the purpose and partly out of the parts of inner collars ff, Inner
collars f.f. one half in position, the other half as shown by dotted lines and ready for
screwing up and adjusting. The diameter, size, substance, or kind of metal used for
the parts of this invention or the shape or kind of lamp not being material points of
this application. And after adjusting the inner collars to the requisite nicety

page_text: provision is herein made for keeping if required such inner collars in position by
means of small set screws, screwed through the outer band in any convenient
position. I do not bind myself strictly to the foregoing details as it is obvious that
there are other means of carrying out my invention without departing from the
principle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
That of any number of Balls or Spheres working within a groove or grooves formed
in or fixed on the axles or other part, and a groove or grooves formed in adjustable
and removeable collars for suspending and carrying the lamps of Velocipedes, Cycles,
or other vehicle or object.
