This plugscrews into the upper side of the handle-barclamp, and when the handle-bar is adjustedand clamped in the position desired, the plugis screwed down, forcing the teeth of thepilot into the corrugations upon the handle-bar, firmly holding the bar in the positionin which it is placed. The crank-shaft is of the finest tool steel,the ends for reception of the cranks beingof triangular form. The eye of the crankconforms, in opening, to crank-shaft end, asper cut herewith. The shaft end of crankis sawn open, and is supplied with a clamp-bolt, so that, in position, it may be drawndown and caused to grip tightly the shaftend. There is no weak point. As a furtherprecaution against accident, a safety screw,with flat head, slightly larger in diameterthan crank-shaft, is let into the end of theshaft, the head forming a flange which pre-vents the crank slipping off the shaft in theevent that, by oversight or negligence, the crank clamp-bolt should not be suff
