I, ROBERT SCHUBERT, of 443, Meiningerstrasse, Mehlis, Thuringia, Merchant,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This rim brake intended for cycles or the like, is novel and original owing to
the circumstance that the brake blocks "1" are pulled upwards by toggle levers 2
connected with the brake-rod 4 by one common hinge 3, but at the same time
are also free to move laterally towards the inside, by means of articulations 5
which are attached with spring-joints on the steering fork "," at "y," and con-
nected with the toggle-levers 2 at "," and in this way, as indicated, by the
arrows "1," are forced diagonally towards the centre of the tyre 6.
In the annexed drawing this novel cycle rim brake is shown in Fig. 1 in front
view, while in action, and in Fig. 2 in a front view while the brake is not in action.
Fig. 3 is a side view of the brake.
The springs "z" acting on the articulations 5, serve the purpose of bringing
back the brake blocks 1, as soon as the pressure on the brake rod 4 is released,
into the position of rest.

is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
This rim brake intended for cycles or the like, is novel and original owing to
the circumstance that the brake blocks 1 are pulled upwards by toggle levers 2
connected with the brake-rod 4 by one common hinge 3, but at the same time
are also free to move laterally towards the inside, by means of articulations 5
which are attached with spring-joints on the steering fork r "aty," and con-
nected with the toggle-levers 2 at "," and in this way, as indicated by the
arrows "I," are forced diagonally towards the centre of the tyre 6.

The springs acting on the articulations 5, serve the purpose of bringing
back the brake blocks 1 as soon as the pressure on the brake rod 4 is released,
into the position of rest.
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:-
The improved rim brake for cycles, characterised by the circumstance that the
brake blocks 1 are drawn upwards by toggle levers 2 connected with the brake-
bar 4 by one common hinge 3 and at the same time moved laterally inwards by the
articulations 5 attached with spring joints to the fork "c" and connected at the
other end with the toggle levers aforesaid, in this way being brought to bear on
the rim in a diagonal direction towards the centre of the tyre 6 substantially as
described and illustrated by the drawing.
