ABSTRACT:
A velocipede has a divided frame with a lower frame half and an upper frame half forming on its upper surface a centrally disposed seat surface or saddle (2), a front leg (5) having one front wheel (4) on its lower end and supported for turning movement with respect to the frame so as to change the direction of the front wheel, a handle shaft (6) fixedly connected to the front leg and having a handle (7) at its upper end, and a rear leg (11) extending rearwardly and downwardly from the frame. Two rear wheels (12) are attached to the rear leg or legs. The saddle-shaped upper frame half (15) and the lower frame half (14 ) are separately prepared so that any one of a plurality of saddle shaped upper frame halves may be combined with a single lower frame half for modifying the appearance. The upper half is journalled at its front end to the lower half by a pivot pin (25) extending widthwise of the velocipede to provide a clearance between the upper and lower halves. The upper half is supported by compression springs (22) with respect to the lower half, whereby the upper half is downwardly turnable with respect to the lower half against the forces of the compression springs for a cushioning effect.
