PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Combined Bicycle or Tricycle or Model Locomotive
and Barrow or Go Cart.
I, JOHN LAW GARSED of Barum Top Halifax in the County of York, Solicitor
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of a combination of bicycle or tricycle or model locomotive
and wheel barrow or go cart for use of young boys and children affording healthful
exercise and amusement.
According to this my said invention I provide in front of the wheel barrow or go
cart a seat for the rider in position convenient for application of the feet to the
cranks which may be formed on the axle of the wheel or wheels of the barrow
or the cranks may be situate between the said wheel and the back wheel or wheels of
the bicycle or tricycle and coupled by chain or other gear.
For young children the seat of the bicycle or tricycle is occupied by an automatic
figure the feet of which are attached to the cranks, the knees and hips being jointed so
as to receive life like movement from the cranks the latter deriving their motion
through the main wheel or wheels of the barrow or from one or other of the bicycie
or tricycle wheels.
In lieu of the automatic figure I may combine with the barrow, model steam cylinders
or a model of a locomotive engine the axis of the wheel of the barrow being provided
with cranks which by connecting rods are coupled to piston rods free to work to and
fro in model cylinders attached to the framing of the model engine or to the sides of
the barrow or the connecting rods may be coupled to side wheels of the engine or to
the cylinders, the wheeling of the barrow transinits motion from its wheel to the going
parts of the model.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Combined Bicycle or Tricycle or Model Locomotive
and Barrow or Go Cart.
I, JOHN LAW GARSED of Barum Top, Halifax in the County of York, Solicitor, 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:
This invention consists of a combination of bicycle or tricycle or model locomotive
and wheel barrow for use of young boys and children affording healthful exercise and
amusement.
According to this my said invention the seat of the bicycle or tricycle is occupied by
an automaton figure the feet of which are attached to the cranks, the knees and hips
being jointed so as to receive life like movement from the cranks the latter deriving
their motion through the main wheel or wheels of the barrow.
In lien of the automaton figure I may combine with the barrow, a fixed or moveable
model locomotive engine.
Such being the nature and object of this my said invention, the following is.
a complete description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings
in which:
-
Fig. 1 is a side elevation shewing-part-of-a-wheel-barrow,-with-an automaion figure
or rider mounted above the wheel.

page_text: Fig. 2 is a side elevation of wheel barrow having a model of a locomotive fixed over
the wheel which wheel operates the cranks.
Fig. 3 is a side elevation of wheel barrow having a model locomotive carried over
the wheel, the said model being readily removed or replaced at will.
Fig. is a side elevation of the model locomotive removed from the wheel
barrow.
Fig. 5 is a plan view of fig. 4.
Fig. 6 is a side elevation of model locomotive having fly wheels driven by friction
from the main wheel.
Fig. 7 is a front elevation of fig. 6.
Fig. 8 is a side elevation showing a model locomotive having fly wheels connected
by arms, and driven by friction from the main wheel.
According to this my said invention in fig. 1 fixed to the body of the wheelbarrow 1
is a metal rod or finger 2 which forms a seat for an automaton figure or rider 3 the
legs of which are jointed by pins 4 at the hips and knees, and to the feet of the
figure or rider 3 are attached to cranks 5 formed on the axle of the main wheel 7
so that when the wheelbarrow 1 is propelled a life like motion is given to the figure
or rider 3.
In fig. 2 a model of a locomotive 8 is fixed to the arm 9 of the wheel barrow 1 and
on the axle 6 of the main wheel 7 are mounted the cranks 5 attached by rods or
connecting arms 10 to the cranks 11 carried in the brackets 12 fixed to the arm 9 or
to the body of the wheel barrow 1.
Fig. 3 illustrates a design of model locomotive 8 which can readily be removed
from, or replaced at will on the arm 9 of the wheel barrow 1. To remove the
model locomotive 8 from the wheel barrow 1 the holding piece 13 (see fig. 5) is
turned part of a revolution until the head or ring 14 is parallel with the longitudinal
slots 15 (see fig. 5) in the flanges 16 which rest on the arms 9. The flanges 17 serve
to hold the locomotive securely in position by fitting between the arms 9-9 on each
side of the main wheel 7 (see fig. 7).
In figs. 6, 7 and 8 are shown models of locomotives & attached to the wheelbarrow 1
as above described. Passing through a slot in the body of the locomotive 8 is the
rod or shaft 18 mounted on which is the pulley 19 driven by friction from the main
wheel 7 and on each end of this rod or shaft 18 is carried the fly wheel 20 which will
revolve when the barrow and wheel 7 are propelled. The collars 21 serve to steady
the wheels 20 and prevent their lateral movement and coming in contact with the
body of the locomotive. The wheels 20 can be connected by rods 22 (see fig. 8) with
a second fly wheel 23 carried on the rod or shaft 24 to which motion will be
imparted when the barrow and wheel 7 is propelled.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The general construction, combination, and arrangement of the parts as herein
described and as illustrated by fig. 1 of the annexed drawings.
2. The general construction, combination, and arrangement of the parts as
herein described and substantially as illustrated by figs. 2 and 3 of the accompanying
drawings.
3. The general construction, combination and arrangement of the parts as
herein described and substantially as illustrated by figs. 6, 7 and 8 of the annexed
drawings.
