GEORGE THORNHILL, 16, Oldham Road, Manchester, Professor of Music, 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:-
A detachable axle cylinder for cycles.
Drawings left with provisional specification, shows how such detachable axle
cylinder can be placed and fastened.
B, C, D, E form present bracket and axle cylinder, the continuation of which
forms portion of the frame of the cycle, viz.
B, shows present axle cylinder, which is fixed, i.e. not detachable and form
part of a fixed frame of the cycle, and is immovable of itself, being only replaced
by an entirely new bracket, such bracket entailing remaking of the cycle or an
entire new frame.
C arm extending to front bracket.
D arm extending to seat and cross arm.
E arms extending and connecting back wheel of cycle.
A detachable axle cylinder, made to fit and fasten on extention of bracket and
arms E, being seperate from the bracket, and not forming a portion of a fixed
frame; renders it detachable, adjustable, and can be replaced or renewed, without
in any way affecting the bracket or frame of the cycle when completed, such
detachable axle cylinder being a part itself, rendered seperate from the frame or
bracket of the cycle.

page_text: PLAN OR METHOD OF FASTENING DETACHABLE AXLE CYLINDER FOR CYCLES.
On one side of detachable axle cylinder A, fitting against extension of bracket,
are two coned or tapered projections G, fitting exactly in coned or tapered holes
in extension of bracket, the projections on detachable axle cylinder are made
Hush, (.e. level when fitted; with face on opposite side of bracket extension,)
projections G on detachable axle cylinder A are drilled and tapped (screwed)
for (set) screws, a face plate, (of thin steel, covers the whole or a portion of the
face or front of the bracket extension,) has holes exactly opposite projections G
on detachable axle cylinder A, to allow (set) screws to pass through, (set) screws
passing through face plate, and screwing into projections G, on detachable axle
cylinder which are fitted level with opposite side of extension of bracket to the
cylinder when screwed up becomes firmly fastened, and practically immovable
by friction and is by this means as firm as if cast with bracket.
Detachable axle cylinder A when fitted, rests firmly against bracket and arms E.
F, set screw passing through connexion of arms E, and screwing into projection
on the top of detachable axle cylinder, to hold into position & support such cylinder,
either before securing or after loosing to prevent from falling.
Additional drawings with complete specification.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. An axle cylinder for cycles which is detachable (i.e. a detachable axle cylinder
for cycles)
