Claims.—(1.) The combination with a bicycle including a frame, front and rear wheels, a mutilated driving-sprocket, a sprocket on the rear wheel, and a sprocket-chain, of an idle wheel over which said chain is guided, said wheel being adjustable towards and from the driving-sprocket to vary the chain-tension, substantially as described. (2.) The combination with a bicycle including a frame, front and rear wheels, a mutilated driving-sprocket, a sprocket on the rear wheel, and a sprocket-chain, of an idle wheel supported in front of the driving-sprocket in alignment with the centres of the driving and rear sprockets over which said chain is guided, said idle wheel being adjustable towards and from the driving-sprocket to vary the chain-tension, substantially as described. (3.) The combination with a bicycle including a frame, supporting-wheels, driving-sprocket and sprocket-chain having a drive-connection to the rear sprocket, of an arm extending from the crank-hanger in alignment with the centres of the rear and driving-sprockets, and an idle wheel carried by said arm over which the chain is guided, said wheel being adjustable, substantially as described. (4.)

No. 13769.—29th June, 1901.—MARIE HOLAUER, of 21, Wienstrasse, Vienna, Austria. A wheel with resilient tire.

Claims.—(1.) A resilient wheel, characterized by a U-shaped tire 3 in which a series of helical springs 8 are separated from each other by flat springs 6, 9, or joint-levers 10, 11, upon which the unjoined felly 1, which is supported by the tire, rests and, when loaded, acts through the flat springs or the like underneath it at the time upon the helical springs (Figs. 1-3). (2.) A form of construction of the wheel described in claim 1 characterized by a U-shaped felly 13 inserted into the U-shaped tire 1 and by helical springs 21 between felly and tire, which helical springs are separated from each other by means of flat springs 15 in such a manner that the ends of said flat springs, which are in sockets 16, engage the ends of the helical springs, while the flat springs rest against the felly and the tire, so that changes in the shape of the flat springs produced by loading are transmitted to the helical springs, and from these to the rest of the resilient system. (3.) In the resilient wheel described in claim 2, radially movable connection between the tire and the felly in such a manner that these parts cannot be circumferentially displaced with regard to one another, in order that the action of the brake will be transmitted from the tire to the shaft.
