(No Model) 0. W. VOSMER. BICYCLE NAME PLATE.
Patented Aug. 13, 1895."
" Un es- PATENT FFICE.
CHARLES w. VOSMER, OF OAKLAND,--OALIFORNIA.
BICYCLE NAM E-PLATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 544,524, dated August 13, 1895.
Application filed June 3, 1895. Serial No. 551,522- (No model-l To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES W. VosMER, a citizen of the United States, residing in Oakland, county of Alameda, State of California, have invented an Improvement in BicyclaName-Plates; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same. 7
My invention relates to a name-plate and a means for attaching the same to the framework of bicycles.
It consists in certain details of construction, which will be'more fully explained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a view of the plate extended. Fig. 2 shows the plate fitted to the tubular frame. Fig. 3 is a view of the key by which it is attached. Fig. 4 is a transverse section of the plate, the key being removed. Fig. 5 is an end view with the locking-key in place.
The object of my invention is to provide a nameplate to be attached to the top or other bar of a bicycle-frame for the purpose of easily identifying the machine, and a means for securing the plate with least possible projection of the meeting edges or securing'parts.
The plate consists of a sheet of German silver or. other metal A,which is cut or stamped so that in the direction a a it is made of sufficient length to allow the name and address or other matter to be engraved upon it longitudinally. From this line the edges curve toward each other until at the points B B it is made considerably narrower, and these'edges, which approach each other when the plate is folded around the cylindrical frame, are turned inwardly, as shown.
0 is the locking device. It consists of a tapering key having one side concaved so that it has a curvature transversely equal to that of the tube upon which the plate is to be socured and corresponding with the curvature of the inner periphery of the plate. The edges of this key are turned over upon the 5 outerior convex side, as shown at c, and these edges interlock with the corresponding inwardly turn'ed ed gesb of the name-plate. The plate being fitted around the tube, the key is inserted between the adjacent edges B B, with its turned-over edges cinterlocking with those of the plate. 1 The key is introduced from the larger end and is then pushed inwardly, its concaved face fitting against the outside of the tube and corresponding approximately 5 5 with the interior of the plate. The key being driven in as the smaller end approaches the plate it acts to draw the edges thereof closely together and thus bind the plate securely uponthetube. Whenproperly fitted,thekey maybe cutoff and the ends turned or otherwise fixed so as to permanently secure it in place.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A name-plate for bicycles consisting of a sheet of metal made longest in' the direction a'and narrowed to the edges b, said edges being integral with the plate and folded inwardly, in combination with a tapering key having its edges turned outwardly and adapted to interlock with those of the plate, said key being within the inner circle of the plate and havingits inner face made concave so as to correspond with the inner curvature of the plate and the exterior curvature of the tubular frame, and adapted to clamp the plateupon the frame when moved from the larger toward the smaller end. So
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
CHARLES W. VOSMER.
