Complete Specification Left, 21st Niv., 1898-Accepted, 24th Dec., 1896
1 GUSTAV SCHREINER of Marylands Road Paddington in the County of
London, Watch Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention is designed to facilitate the mounting of cycles by ladies.
According to this invention, I fit the saddle to the cycle in such a way that the
said saddle shall be capable of tilting forwards in order that the "beak" may be
out of the way of the lady's skirt when mounting; but so that the saddle shall
turn into and lock itself automatically in the ordinary position when the lady has
mounted.
According to one way of carrying this invention into effect I pivot the piece
(that carries the saddle) to the frame and provide a toothed quadrant under the
Baid piece so that a hinged pawl fitted to the said L piece shall take into the tooth
or teeth of the said quadrant in order to hold the L piece in an upright position,
when the rider has mounted.
I provide suitable means to prevent the L piece from going too far back when
moving into position.
By the use of this invention mounting is rendered more graceful than at
present.

Improvements relating to Saddles for Oyoles.
I GUSTAV SCHREINER of Marylands Road Paddington in the County of
London Watchmaker, 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 is designed to facilitate the nounting of cycles by Indies.
According to this invention I fit the saddle to the cycle in such a way that the
said enddle shall be capable of tilting forwards in order that the beak may be out
of the way of the lady's skirt when mounting, but so that the saddle shall turn
into and lock itself automatically in the ordinary position when the lady has
mounted.
According to one way of carrying this invention into effect I pivot the piece,
that carries the saddle, to the frame and provide a toothed quadrant under the
Baid piece so that a hinged pawl fitted to the said L piece shall take into the tooth
or teeth of said quadrant in order to hold the L piece in an upright position, when
the rider has mounted.

page_text: I provide suitable means to prevent the L piece from going too far back when
moving into position.
By the use of this invention, mounting is rendered more graceful than at
present.
And in order that ny said invention may be better. understood I will now
proceed to describe the same with reference to the drawing accompanying this
specification in which Fig. 1 is an elevation of the L piece (that carries the saddle)
and part of the frame, fitted together according to one way of carrying out this
invention and in the locked or ordinary position. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the
same, shewing the piece tilted forwards. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the same
part of a cycle, showing a second way of carrying out my invention.
The same letters denote the same parts in all the views. A shows a pawl,
hinged to the L piece C, which latter is pivotted to the frame B. The pawl A
engages with a toothed quadrant D. A spring E is provided between the L piece C
and the pawl A, for the purpose of assisting in drawing the saddle into its normal
position. shews a shoulder to prevent the L piece E, and consequently the
saddle from going too far back when moving into its ordinary position.
By the method shewn at Fig. 3, a collar G is attached to the piece C which
latter in this caso may be made in the ordinary way, and to the upper part of the
collar G that is to say to the quadrant D, which is formed in one with the collar,
two short vertical bars H are pivoted, one at each side of the quadrant, and the
pawl A is carried between these two bars Fl.
A tube I is fixed at the top of each bar H, to carry the wire K of the saddle.
With reference to Fig. 1 it will be seen that if the pawl A is released from the
quadrant D the piece (and with it the saddle) may be tilted into the position
.shewu at Fig. 2, and the mounting of the cycle thereby greatly facilitated, as the
lady's skirt will not be interfered with by the beak of the saddle.
At Fig. 3 the pieces H would carry the saddle into the tilted position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The improvements relating to saddles of cycles substantially as and for the
purposes set forth.
2. A tilting saddle in combination with means for locking same in its normal
position, for the purpose set forth.
