Mossberg v. Nutter

Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

Decided January 26, 1905No. 537PublishedCited by 12 opinions

Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Massachusetts.

1Opinion of the Court

COLT, Circuit Judge.

This appeal relates to the Ericson patent, No. 491,012, dated January 31, 1893, for improvements in tire bicycle bells.

In this type of bicycle bell, the striking mechanism is set in operation by the contact of a friction roll with the tire of the wheel. In its normal position, the roll is held out of contact with the tire. When, however, the rider desires to ring the bell, he presses a lever or finger piece, which causes the roll to move into contact with the tire; and when this pressure is withdrawn, the roll immediately resumes its normal position.
