ATTACHMENT FOR CARRYING RIFLES, 80s., ON BICYCLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent N0. 672,540, dated April 23, 1901.
' Application filed June 15, 1900- fierial No- ,4 (N0 modem .To all whom it may concern.-
covered with leather.
Be it known that I, GUY THOMAS SPEIR, advocate, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at 2 Gloucester Place,Port man Square, London, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Carrying Rifles or other Articles on Bicycles, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is mainly to provide ri fie-carrying attachments which will fit practically any cycle, will admit of the rifle being quickly taken from them for use, and will combine strength together with lightness and cheapness; but similar attachments can also be used for carrying fishing-rods, golf-clubs, camera-stands, and a variety of other articles. For carrying a rifle two attachments are used, one to be carried at the rear end of the upper part of the frame and the other at the front end. The characteristic of each attachment is that it is composed of a strip or wireof spring metal so bent as to form two hook-shaped spring clips or hooks, one to hook over and clasp the top bar of the another. bar of the frame which extends downward from the top bar, while it is also formed with a third clip or loop to embrace one or other end of the rifle or other article to be carried. Both devices for supporting the rifle are arranged on the same side of the cycle-frame and they incline outward away from the cycle-frame.
In the drawings I have shown the attachments adapted for carrying a rifle.
Figure 1 is an elevation of the upper part of a bicycle-frame and the two attachments secured to it. Figs. 2 and 3 showa front elevation and plan, on a larger scale, of the back attachment; and Figs. 4 and 5 show similar views of the front attachment. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which the attachments are formed with loops for holding the articles to be carried.
Each of the attachments shown in the drawings is formed from a strip of thin spring metal Each has in it a bend a to clasp the top bar of the bicycle-frame, another bend b to clasp a descending bar of the frame, and a third 0 to carry one or other end of a rifle.
Instead of; each attachment being formed of a covered strip of thin metal it might be formed of two similarly-bent wires side by side, inclosed in one cover, or a similar attachment might be formed by bending one end of a length of covered wire to the form of attachment required and then turning the wire back-and bending the other end to the same shape, so thatin all parts of the attachment there are two portions of the covered wire lying side by side.
Instead of forming the attachments with spring-clips c to receive or hold the rifle or other article they maybe provided with loops (1, as shown in Fig. 6.
What I claim is 1. The combination with the frame of a bicycle having a horizontal top bar and a bar at each end descending therefrom of carrying attachments each composed of a strip of wire bent at one point into a loop-clip to hook over and clasp around more than half the circumference of the top bar of the cycle -frame close to one of its ends and having one of the descending ends of the strip or wire bent or formed into a loop-clip to embrace and clasp around more than half the circumference of the bar of the frame which descends from this end of the top bar and also having the other descending end of the strip or wire of both attachments both on the same side of the cycle-frame and both formed at their free ends into a loop or hook to receive and hold within them a rifle or other article to be carried.
2. The combination with the frame of a bicycle havinga horizontal top bar and a bar at each end descending therefrom of carrying attachments each composed of a strip or wire bent at one point intoa loop-clip to hook over and clasp around more than half the circumference of the top bar of the cycle-frame close to one of its ends'and having one of the descending ends of the strip or wire bent or formed into a loop-clip to embrace and clasp around more than half the circumference of the bar of the frame which descends from this end of the top bar and also having the other descending end of the strip or wire of both attachments both on the same side of the cycle-frame and inclining outward away from the plane in which the two loop bends lie and at their free ends formed into loops or hooks to support and hold a rifle Within them.
GUY THOMAS SPEIR.
