Description
@anni @twine y iltted tzrte e.-HABERLAND, oF PONTIAC, ILLINOIS.
Leiters Patent No. 94,818, dared satema 14,1869.
To allwham it may concern:
Be it known thatv I, G. HABERLAND, of Pontiac, in the county of Livingston, and State of Illinois, have invented a newand improved Velocipede Boat; and
`I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,
and exact description of the construction and operatien of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal vertical section, through line x x of lig. 2.
Figure 2 is a top' view.
The object of this invention is to provide, for public use, a velocipede boat, so constructed and arranged that the driver can conveniently propel and steer it, while it is light, capacious, safe, and commodious.
A A A represent the hold of' the boat, B Bf repre'- senting two air-tight covers or guards, nearly as long as the boat, and wide enough to accommodate the propelling-wheels. These covers or guards constitute ohlong air-chambers, open at their under side,.which help to support the boat in the water, and furnish a comfortable seat on each lside of the hold for the passengers.
Other suitable seats, b l), and bracing-partitions, b b', may be provided, according to the size and form of the boat; and one or more air-chambers, A', may be provided, for the safety ofthe boat in case ef accident.
The wheels (seen in dotted li-nes in iig. 2) are arranged on a transverse shaft, provided with doubleY cranks c c', and, if preferred, with pedals, handles, or levers, a a, by which to'turn the cranks.
The shaft is supported on each side of its centre by a standard, s s, and between the twostandards is the steering-wheel lw, fixed to a sleeve, which works loose on the shaft.
A rope, r, extends from the upper side, and another, r', from the under side 'of the sleeve-roller, to the tiller or rudder T, so that by moving the wheel w, the rudder can be turned, and the boat steered in any direction, the dr-iver sitting on the seat b, and not being obliged to change position in order 'to-apply hisl hand either to the propelling or the steering of his bark.
The simplicity and convenience of this arrangement will hardly require further description'.
Havingthns described my invention,
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The described construction and arrangement of the double crank-shaft c c', standards s s, steeringewheel w, supported by a sleeve, enclosing the shaft c c', ropes 'r o", and rudder T, when combined in the manner, and for the purposes herein set forth.
G. HABERLANI).
