Description:

Claim:

In a motor for bicycles and similar vehicles, the combination with a multiple-cylinder explosive engine adapted to be secured to the frame of a vehicle of a forked lever fulcrumed on the drix ing-shaft of the engine, a friction-wheel journaled in and carried by said forked lever~, driving connections between said driving-shaft and said friction-wheel, an oil-receptacle adapted to be secured to the frame of the vehicle, pipes lead-ingfrom said oil-receptacle to the inlet-valves of the cylinders, a cock in said pipes, connections intermediate said cock and the forked lever, and means connected with said forked lever whereby said friction-wheel may be pressed into contact with a wheel of the vehicle or removed therefrom, and simultaneously the flow of oil to the cylinders may be opened or closed, substantially as described. In a motor for bicycles and similar vehicles, the combination with an explosive-engine adapted to be secured to the frame of the vehicle of a forked lever fulcrumed on the driving-shaft of the engine, a friction-wheel journaled in and carried by said forked lever, driving connections between said div-ing-shaft and said friction-wheel, a source of electricity designed to be carried on the ye-hicle, ant electric circuit intermediate said source of electricity and the igniter mechanism. of the engine, a circuit making and breaking device located in said circuit, and means connected with said forked lever and with said circuit making and breaking device, whereby said friction-wheel may be pressed into contact with a wheel of a vehicle or removed therefrom, and simultaneously the electric circuit of the igniter may be closed or opened, substantially as described.
