I offer a collection of over 1100 (!!!) old patents around velocipedes / bicycles from USA between 1860 (!) and 1889.
All patents are complete, that means contain the full text and all drawings (see example). The amount of the material is more than 2500 pages!! The patents are busy mostly with velocipedes, bicycles, tricycles or parts (frame, wheel, saddle ...) of it or sometimes attachments or accessories (lantern ..), also some curious like "ice velocipede", "railway velocipede". The first real velocipede from the bicycle type is from 1866.
The inventors / owners come mostly from USA, but also from some other contries. You will get a phantastic overview about the technical development around cycling. Included are a lot of patents from the wellknwon cycle manufacturer POPE MANUFACTURING COMPANY (who has introduced the "Columbia" High Wheeler in 1878), but also some others like THE LOCKWOOD MANUFACTURING COMPANY, THE OVERMAN WHEEL COMPANY, THE KING WHEEL COMPANY.
It is the worldwide best overview about bicycle/velocipede related patents of this time period!
