BICYCLE LAMP BRACKET.
No. 586,295. Patented July 13,1897.
, UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ERNEST D. TERRY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
BICYCLE-LAM P BRACKET.
SPECIFICATION forming-part of Letters Patent N 0. 586,295, dated July 13, 1897. Application filed. December 26, 1896. Serial No. 617,018. (No model.)
To (LZZ whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ERNEST D. TERRY, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements in Lamp- Brackets for Bicycles and the Like, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to the class of clamping holders or brackets for the lamps used on bicycles, tandems, &c.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple, strong, and inexpensive bracket, capable of being readily secured to the standard or head of a bicycle, and one which can be readily taken apart, so as to permit the separate parts of the bracket to be packed or stowed in a relatively small space.
In the accompanying drawings,which illustrate an embodiment of the invention, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improved bracket, represented as clamped to the stand ard of a bicycle. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the bracket detached. Figs. 3 and 4 are side views of the respective .jaws of the bracket-clamp detached, one jaw being for the right side and the other for the left side. Fig. 5 is a front elevation of the slotted front connecting-plate of the bracket.
The front plate B of the sheet metal is bent into tubular form at its ends to form two sockets, which receive the respective ends of the wire holderC, which are securely fixed in said sockets.
The jaws A and A are of semicircular form to embrace the cylindrical head G, Fig. 1, of the bicycle, and they are provided each with a broad hook H and H, which when the parts are assembled are made to engage the respective slots J and J, Fig. 5, in the front plate 13 and to hook around the tubular sockets on said plate. These hooks on the jaws are made to extend about said sockets far enough to get a good grip thereon and to hinge the jaws securely to the front plate B, the broad hooks turning about the said sockets as about hinging-pins. At their free ends the jaws have apertured lugs to receive a screw D, provided with a nut E, for drawin g the ends of the jaws together and causing them to clamp on the head G. In one jaw the aperture K, Fig. 3, is square to receive a square on the bolt and prevent it from turning, and the aperture L in the other jaw is circular to receive the cylindrical body of the bolt.
The wire holder 0, secured to the front plate B, forms, with said plate, one piece of the bracket, and the detachable jaws A and A each also a piece, so that, exclusive of the bolt and nut, the bracket is composed practically of three detachable pieces, which may be packed in a small compass.
The advantages of this lamp-bracket over those of the same general class reside in its simplicity, its durability, and the facility with which its parts may be separated and reassembled. Heretofore, so far as known, the clamping-jaws of such a bracket have not been made detachable, but have been permanently hinged to the branches of the wire holder.
It will be understood that in putting the bracket together the broad hooks on the jaws are passed through the respective slots in the front plate while the jaws thrown wide open and that the bringing together of the jaws causes the said hooks to take about and embrace more or less the cylindrical sockets on the front plate, the slots being adjacent to said sockets, as seen in Fig. 5.
Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. A lamp-bracket for bicycles and the like, comprising a front plate having two slots J, J, two detachable clamping-jaws, A and A, which have each a broad hook at its end adapted to engage the respective slots in the front plate and hinge the jaws to said plate, means substantially as described for drawing together the free ends of said jaws in clamping, and a holder for the lamp on said front plate.
2. A lamp-bracket for bicycles and the like, comprising a front plate B, having upright tubular sockets at its ends and two upright slots, J and J, adjacent to the respective sockets, a wire holder 0, the branches of which are fixed in said sockets, two detachable clamping-jaws, A and A, each provided my invention I have signed my name, in presat its end with a broad hook adapted to enence of two witnesses, this 24th day of Degage the respective slots in the front plate eernber, 1896.
for hinging the jaws detachably thereto, and ERNEST D. TERRY. 5 a screw and nut for drawing together the IVitnesses:
ends of the jaws in clamping. J. F. PLACE,
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as J. Gr. GADSDEN.
