COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Excentric Clip for Fixing the Saddles, Oranks, and other
Parts of Cycles.
I, WILLIAM JOHNSON of 14 Starley Road Coventry in the County of Warwick,
Engineer, 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:―
According to my invention, I show in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9 respectively
a further development of my Specifications No. 5038 March 10th 1894.
Figures 1, 2 & 3 show a saddle clip, with the excentric & block as applied.
(b) block fitting under saddle bar & operated upon by the excentric marked (c).
(d) rivet or pin through excentric (c). (e) projection for spanner or lever to force
excentric into position. Figures 4, 5 & 6 shows an excentric lock as applied to
cranks. (a) excentric for holding on crank to shaft (d). (b) projection for
spanner or lever to force excentric into position. (c) rivet or pin through
excentric (a). This excentric may also be applied to lock, by having facits filed
upon part of its surface, or by a hole drilled in its periphery. (d) shaft or axle
showing hollow (e) cut to receive excentric as shown in Figures 7, 8 & 9.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood & easily applied, I have
appended hereunto two sheets of drawings which show the various modes of
applying the invention.
Figure 1, is an end elevation of a saddle clip showing the excentric & block in
position.
(B) is the block. (C) is the excentric.
(D) is the rivit or pin through excentric.
(E) is a projection or handle by the aid of which the excentric is moved into
position either to lock or unlock.
Figure 2, is a section of Figure 1.
Figure 3, is a side elevation of Figure 1.
Figure 4, shows a front elevation of an excentric lock, as applied to cranks, by
the aid of which the crank can be attached to axle or pedal pin.

(b) is a projection or handle by the aid of which the excentric is moved into
position either to lock or unlock.
(c) is the rivit or pin through axle.
(D) is the shaft or axle on which crank fits.
je) is a hollow cut in axle or shaft to receive excentric when locked.
Figure 5 is a section of Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a side elevation of Figure 4.
Figure 7, is a section of crank showing the excentric with facits filed upon part
of its surface to receive spanner.
Figure 8 is side elevation of shaft or axle showing hollow cut to receive
.excentric.
Figure 9, is a section of crank showing hole F drilled in its periphery to receive
lever for moving excentric into position & also showing the excentric lock & spindle
in action.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention, & in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
1st. Excentrics, & blocks, for fixing saddles, cranks, & other parts of cycles.
Dated this Twenty-first day of May 1894.
WILLIAM JOHNSON.
