Definitions
- A designates a bicycle-support, the same consisting of the resilient legs B B, the foot 0, and the limbs D, formed together, preferably, of a continuous piece of heavy wire, to which, however, I do not limit my invention, said limbs projecting inwardly or transversely at the upper ends of said legs and are adapted to pass through the eyes or openings E of the crossbar F of the frame of a bicycle-pedal of ordinary construct-ion, it being seen that when service of the support is required the legs are pressed somewhat together and passed through openings E in the front of said frame and also through the openings E, as aforesaid, in the direction of the axis or shaft on which said frame is mounted.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 640,904, dated January 9, 1900. Application filed March 6, 1899. flerial No. 707,909- (No model.)
T0 (0 whom it may concern:
Be it known that LWILLIAM H. HART, J r., a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pen nsylvania, have invented a new and useful I111- provement in Bicycle-Supports, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.
My invention consists of a bicycle-support formed of legs with stems or limbs adapted to enter openings in the frame of a bicyclepedal and remain seated therein, producing a simple, inexpensive, and easily-operated device.
It also consists in forming said limbs of different lengths, so as to conveniently guide the same into the openings of the pedal-frame.
It also consists in forming the limbs whereby they may be folded, so as to reduce the compass of the support and adapt the latter to be conveniently carried in a pocket or receptacle of the rider of a bicycle.
Figures 1 and 2 represent perspective views of a bicycle-support embodying my invention,
portions ofthe pedal being broken away. Fig. 3 represents a perspective view of another form of my invention.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.
Referring to the drawings, A designates a bicycle-support, the same consisting of the resilient legs B B, the foot 0, and the limbs D, formed together, preferably, of a continuous piece of heavy wire, to which, however, I do not limit my invention, said limbs projecting inwardly or transversely at the upper ends of said legs and are adapted to pass through the eyes or openings E of the crossbar F of the frame of a bicycle-pedal of ordinary construct-ion, it being seen that when service of the support is required the legs are pressed somewhat together and passed through openings E in the front of said frame and also through the openings E, as aforesaid, in the direction of the axis or shaft on which said frame is mounted. When the legs are let go, they expand laterally, and owing to their pressure engage the walls of the openings E, whereby they firmly retain their position and the bicycle may be nicely supported, as will be apparent on reference to Fig. 1.
In order to guide the limbs to their position,
they are made of different lengths, the long one being first partially inserted in its opening, when, as is apparent, the point of the short limb reaches the opening it is to occupy, when it can be conveniently introduced into said opening, as also shown in Fig. 1.
WVhen service of the support is not required, it is drawn outwardly, the legs being slightly pressed together, when the holding power of the limbs on the cross-bar F is overcome and they withdraw from the cross-bar and pedalframe, when the support being removed may be placed by the rider of the bicycle in his pocket or a carrier on the bicycle, as desired.
In order to reduce the compass of the support, especially in the transverse direction of the same, the limbs D are made separate from the legs B and connected therewith by the sleeves G, the straight parts of said limbs and interior of said sleeves being screwthreaded, by which provision said limbs may be turned toward each other, and thus be folded, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, they engaging with each other and so retaining their folded position.
In Fig. 3 I show eyes H and the set-out lugs J, punched or turned out of the sides of the pedal-frame, the limbs D passing through said eyes and under said lugs, so as to be engaged with the frame similar to the openings Eand eyes E.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a bicycle-support applicable to a pedalframe, a support proper formed of side legs, a base connecting the lower ends thereof, and limbs on the upper ends thereof, said limbs being deflected in the direction of the axis of said frame and a pedal-frame having open in gs therein and eyes in a cross-bar rearward of said openings. i
2. In a bicycle-support, legs with limbs on the upper ends thereof, said limbs being deflected in the direction of the axis of the pedalframe and made of different lengths and a pedal-frame having openings in its wall and a cross-bar with eyes rearward of said openings.
3. A pedal-frame having an opening in its front wall, and a cross-bar with an opening rearward of said wall and a support formed of a leg with a deflected limb on its upper and limbs, said sleeves and the engaging porend, the openings being adapted to receive tions of said legs being screw-threaded. said limb. 6.
