UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES H. LAMSON, OF PORTLAND, MAINE.
BICYCLE LUGGAGE-CARRIER.
SPECIFICAIION forming part of Letters Patent No. 585,108, dated J une 22, 1897.
Application filed November 9, 1896. Seral No. 611,470. (No modal.)
,Zo aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES H. LAMSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Portland, in the county of Cumberland and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bicycle Luggage-Carriers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to a bicycle luggagecarrier adapted to besecured on the rear fork of the bicycle; and the object of the invention is to construct a carrier which shall be easily and quickly applied and taken off, Which will hold securely in place, and which can be cheaplmade.
A f urther object of the invention is to construct a carrier which will have a degree of elasticity, so that the bundle to be carried will ride easily.
I accomplish the varous objects of my invention by means of the structure hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings I show a carrier constructed according to my present invention.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the most approved form of carrier shown in position on the rear fork. Fig. 2 is a central section taken on Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a modification.
A A represent the npright members of the rear for]; of the machine, and B is the crossbar, which forms the chief support of the carrier. The carrier in the form shown in Fig. 1 is made of two pieces of wire, the loody of the carrier being formed into a 100p or bracket 0, which extends,when in position, outward from the rear of the rear fork and forms the rest on which the bundle sits. The bracket 0 is made, as here shown, somewhat wider than the rear fork, and the inner ends are bent in toward each other and are doubled and bent horizontally around to form hooks d, which extend around the uprights A immediately above the cross-bar, the hooks resting on the cross-bar for their chief support. The ends of the wire are bent downward fromthe hooks dby therear face of the cross-bar to form two vertical arms e e. Means are provided for securin g these arms firmly to the fork below the cross-bar and of holding them pressed back against the rear face of the cross-bar, whereby the hooks d will be held in position. I effect the holding of these arms, as shown in Fig. 1, by a spring-clamp G, adapted t0 engage the lower ends of the arms and to act against the rear of the uprights, pulling the ends of the arms rearward and fastening them solidly in place. The clamp shown has two end portions h, inclined to each other and passing through eyes f, formed in the lower ends of the arms. Connecting the two end portions h there is a 100p g, extending upward when the clamp is locked in position and adapted to bear against the front face of the cross-bar. The form of the clamp is such that when the 100p 9 is turned down the arms e will be allowed to spring forward, and when it is. turned up the spring of the arms will press it against the cross-bar and the arms will be pulled back and held firmly in place. One of the ends of the clamp can be lifted out of the eye in which it normally rests, allowing the-latch t0 bang by one end only and enabling it to pass between the uprights, so that the carrier can be easily put on and taken off.
Suitable straps S are fastened to the carrier, preferahly along the sides, only one such strap being here shown.
In Fig. 3 I have shown another method of fastening the lower ends of the arms to the rear uprights. Instead of making use of a spring-clamp I secure a strap 2' to one of the eyes and a strap j to the other, one of these straps being provided With a buckle la. The straps are brought around 'behind the uprights and are buckled in the rear of the fork, so that the arms 6 are pulled down between the uprights and the whole carrier is firmly held in place.
It will be seen that the bracket 0 has noth ing to support its outer end except its own stiffness, so that it has considerable spring, and a bundle placed on it will ride easily.
The carrier made as I have described can be easily and cheaply formed, it can be quickly put on and taken off, and when once in position it will remain firmly in place.
I claim 1. Theherein-describedluggage-carrierfor bicycles conslsting of a shelf or brackct having hooks adapted to h00k around the tnbing of the rear for]: and to rest on the cross-bar, and having twc vertical arms extending down by said cross-bar and bearing against the 1ear face thereof and means for securing the lower ends of said arms to the rea1 fork.
2. The herein-describedluggage-carrierfor bicycles consisting of a shelf or bracket having hooks adaptcd t0 hook around the tubing of the rcar for]: and to 1est on the cross-bar and having vertical arms extending down by said cross-bar and bearing against the rear face thereof and a springclamp engaging the lower ends of said arms and adapted to act against the said rear f0rk t0 press said arms against the cross-bar.
3. The hereln-described luggage-carrier for bicycles conssting of a wire bent centrally to each end of said wire beng bent down to form a downwardly-extending vertical arm bearling against the rcar face of the cross-bar, the
lowcr end of said arms having eyes formed therein, asprng-clamp of bent Wire having two end portions inclned to each other passlng through said eyes and havng a central 100p connecting said end portions adapted to 'be tnrned up to rest against the front face of said cross-bar.
CHARLES Il. LAMSON.
