Improvements in Ball Bearings for Velocipedes

29,954. Wenigmann, C. Dec. 17. Ball bearings for velocipedes. In order to keep the bottom bracket bearings as far apart as possible and to afford a large and firm bearing-race, the cone b on the driving-side is fixed in the bracket e. The cup d is mounted in the chain-wheel or bevel-wheel r. Similarly the cup of the bearing on the driving-side of the hub is mounted in the wheel r . When the driving power is transmitted by bevel gearing, the wheels r , r are connected by a tube e surrounding the rod s which connects the wheel axle with the bottom bracket. The cones h, l are independent of the rod s, being mounted on the pieces g, n attached to the bracket and axle. The bearing-cups i are fixed in the wheels r , r .
