DISPLAY STAND FOR SUPPORTING TWO-WHEELED VEHICLES.
Application inea February li,V 1924. serieu No. 690,522.
To all whom t may concern.'
Bc it known that l, EARL Entrano HerrL Mas, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residingk at. Springfield, in the county of Hampden, State of fl'assachnsetts, have inventer certain new and useful Improvements in llisplay Stands for Supporting rEwolf'heeled Vehicles, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the figures of reference marked thereon. y
The invention relates to new and .useful improvements in display stands for supporting two-wheeled vehicles such asV motor cycles and the like. f p u An object of the invention to provide a stand which will hold a two-wheeled vehicle in npr' j vertical position while the wheels thereof areon the ground or Hoor, which stand is capable of yielding` so that the vehicle. may beY swayed sidewise, thereby givingl something` of the effect of riding so that the prospective purchaser' is enabled to ascertain the riding qualit-y and therewith be instructed in the control system while the vehicle is at a standstill.
A further object of the invention is to provide a stand of the above type with supporting` rollers or wheels so that the vehicle can be readily moved laterally on the floor.
These and other objects will in partbe obvious and will in part be hereinafter more fully disclosed.
ln the drawings- Figi is a view showing the attachn'ient of the stand to a motorcycle frame.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the invention. Y f
Fig. 3 a perspective viewl of the at jcaching member mounted on the cycle frame.
Fig. a is a perspective view' showing an alternative form of the invention.
Fig. 5 is a det-ail vie-w showing the corr nection of the resilient arm and its spring to the bracket.
My improved stand for supporting motor cycles or the like comprises broadly a device which is adapted to be attached to the frame of the vehicle and which has arms extending laterally therefrom, the ends .of
. cated eachl arm has with the ground or floor is preferably through rollers which are lo i l wl t :is attached to the vehicle the ends of the lateralarins will bear on the ground or.'
floor while the wheels of the vehicle are still on the ground or floor. rllhis provides a means `for holding Athe vehicle in upright vertical position. lt also enables an operatorto mount the vehicle and sway the machine from side vto side without tipping over, as the resilient support of the lateral arnis is sufficient to .overcome the 'tendency of the vehicle to fall over.
Referring more in detail to, the drawings, I have shown in llig. 1 only a part. ofa motor cycle frame which is indicated by the frame parts l, l. My improved stan-d consists of a spring member 2 which is rein-l forced by a second shorter leaf member 3. These members are secured to a supporting bar 4l `by means of a boit Massaoinsnrrs, Assrenon To mman as to turn about aires parallel with.
ce l
5 and by shackles A6, gG. vThe ends of the support el are bentk Y upwardly as at 7, 7, and a bolt 8 passes through the ends' of the upturned parts 7, Tand also.throughy sleeves v9, 9 permanentlyY carried by the frame of the motor cycle or two-'wheeled vehicle. vrThis form-s a rigid supporting meansfor thespring stand. On the one end of the leaf spring 2 there is a .rod l() which passes through the curled end of the wheels 1l, 1l... At the other end of the spring there is a rod 12 on 'which are two wheels 18, 1?). The spring support is at.- tached to the vehicle in such a` way that n fhen the vehicle stands on thefloor or ground, the heftof the. machine will rest on the ground. The wheels 11, 1l and 123, 13 however, which` are carried by the laterally extending leaf spring will also rest upon the ground or floor and will operate to normally hold the vehicle in upright position. The spring 2 yields sufficient-ly to bring about this normal positioning of the parts. It will also be noted that av rider may mount the machine, and when on the machine, he may sway the machine from one side to the other, the spring 2 yielding for this purpose, and thus he gets something of the effect of riding. The spring is stiff enough however, to prevent the motor cycle from spring, and on this rod are two` Jfalling over sidewise, andwvill return'the same to upright position even With the person seated in the saddle.
In the form of intention` shown in Fig.
lt is obvious that minor changes in the details 01": construction and arrangement of the parts may be made Without departing from the spirit of the invention as set-forth in the appended' claims.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to Vsecure by Letters-Patent, is-
l. A Vdisplay stand for two-Wheeled vehicles comprising supporting means, means for securing said supporting means to the :frame of the vehicle with said supporting means extending laterally of the Vehicle and supported on the looriat each side of the vehicle, said supporting means being constructed and arranged to resilientlysupport said vehicle in upright position.`
2. A display stand for tWo-nf'heeledlveliicles comprising a lear1 spring member, means for rigidly securing said spring -memlierto the vehicle rameso that said spring member-extei'ids laterally to each side of the vehicle fra-me and adapted to rest on the Hoor or ground and thereby holding the Vehicle in on the seat of the Vehicle to .swaythe Vehicle toione side or the other Wit-hout falling over sideivise.
. 3. AV display stand for tWo-iiiheeled Vehicles. comprising a leaf spring extending and means :tor securing said upstanding members to the trame of the vehicle.
4. A display stand for `two-Wheeled vehicles comprising a leaf spring, bolts mountV ed in the ends of the springs, a pair of Wheels .upright position, butperinitting the rider on each boit, a reinforcing spring engaging the leaf spring intermediate its ends, a support atthe center oi the reinforcing spring andleaie spring, a bolt andshackles 'for securing thesprings to said support, said siipport having upstandingmembers, and means for securing said upsta'nding members to tlie vehicle frame. s
, 5. A display stand for two-Wheeled vehicles comprising a meinberrigidly attached to the frame of the vehicle,a device having laterally extending arms attached vto such member, and means pressing each arm against the giouiidjii'hereby said vehicle is held resiliently in upright position.
(i. A display stand lor' two-Wheeled vehicles comprisingl a bracket rigidly attached to the `frame or `the Vehicle and carrying laterally `extending arms, the outer ends or' Vwhich restupon thegroiind and being cap-.i-
ble of movement in a vertical plane, and resil'lent means supported against the bracket for Vacting upon said arms to overcome the tendency of the Vehicle to fall sidewise.
7. A display stand fora two-Wheeled ve-V hicle in which the latter has its Wheels upon the common base, a bracket having laterally extending resiliently mounted arn'is attached to the frame of the vehicle, rollers in contact with the comn'ionbase, and axle pinsfor said rollers `carried at the ends .of said arms and disposed at right angles tothe rear axle oi' the vehicle. s
