SPEGIFICAEBION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 693,370, dated February 18, 1902.
Application filed May 17, 1901.
Serial a. 60,716. (No model.)
T at whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, HUGHBURNET, a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, residing at Victoria, in the Province of British Oolum bia,
Canada, have invented a newand'useful Bi-- cycle-Support, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in that class of bicycle-support which is an at- IO tachment to the machine itself, and is especially'intended to simplify, lighten, and generally improve the construction of the designrevealed in United States Patent No. 670,367.
Figure .1 is a side elevation of a portion of a bicycle with my improvements applied.
Fig. 2 is a detail viewof the spring connection joined with the upper ends of the supportinglegs. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the means of attachment and the spring connections looking in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a side View of the preferred means of attaching my improved device to the framebar. Fig. 5 is an end View of the spring-clip which sustains the. supporting legs when' lifted up out of use, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is aperspective view of a modified means of attaching the device to the frame-bar, the several parts thereof being shown separated.
The support-legs 2 are in my improved construction made of light tubing, and their up-' per ends are connected together by the springpiece 3, which I preferably make, as shown, with a coil 3 in the center and downwardly- 5 turned ends 3, which are securely fastened into the tubular legs. The horizoutalportions of the spring connection 3 are hinged in the forward end of the attachment 4, fixed to the bicycle-frame adjacent to the front fork. 0 This attachment-piece 4 is made of thin sheet metal, preferably designed, as 4, to partially encircle the tubular frame and be clamped thereon bythe screw 5. On the under side of the tube the sides are turned down paral- 5 lel to one another, as 4", and in the forward end of these sides are the apertures 6, which receive the horizontal spring member 3 of the support-legs 2. From the apertures 6 the metal is out or sheared through on the line f, and the pieces 4 can then be bent back to admit 3 and thereafter restored to the plane of the sides 4". Just at the lower edge of the apertures 6 the sides flare outward, as 4, to the angle of slope thesupport-legs are desired to have when in use, and at the lower end O of the sides 4. I place a shouldered strut 7, the reduced ends 8 of which pass through the sides and form stops to determine the extreme limit of the support-legs when down. As being unnecessary and to lighten the device as much as possible I cut away the after flared portion from b to c, as shown in Fig. 2. For the same reason the width of 4 is'reduced as drawn..
Fig. 4 shows an alternative method of construction in which the sides 4 and 4 are relatively the same, but instead of the part 4 encircling the upper side of the frame the metal is bent to conform to the curve of the under side, and two lugs g are punched out of the body of the metal and bent round, as shown, to coincide with the turned-out ends ll" of the strap 11, and the two are attached by bolts or screws, so as to clamp and secure the piece 4 to the tubular frame of the bicycle. The spring-clip 9, by which I sustain the support-legs 2 up out of use, is attached,
as shown in Figs. 2 and 5, to the opposite or lower end of the same tube F of the frame and is constructed to partially encircle it, being clamped thereon by the screw 10. Below the clamping-screw the ends are bent to form the detents 9 and thereafter spread apart to form a tapering entrance 9, through which the legs are passed.
Having now particularly described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to be protected in by Letters Patent of the United States, .is-
1. In a bicycle support of the class described, the combination with support-legs of the attachment-piece 4 bent to partially encircle the tubular frame of the bicycle; downwardly-turned parallel sides 4 the clampingscrew 5 through such sides; the apertures 6 through the forward end of the sides 4; the slit f from the aperture; outwardly-inclined sides 4 from the lower edge of the apertures; the shouldered strut 7 and the stops 8, substantially as described.
2. In a bicycle support of the class described, the combination with an atachment clamped to the frame of the machine having downwardly-turned parallel sides, apertures through the forward end, and outwardly-angled sides below such apertures; the slit f from the aperture; the spring 3 fulcrumed in the apertures having a coil 3 in the center and downwardly-turned ends 3*, exterior to the sides, on which are secured the legs 2; means for stopping them at their extreme downward limit and sustaining them along the frame when not in use.
3. In a bicycle-support of the character described, the combination with a supporting member adapted to straddle one of the tubular bars of the bicycle-frame, said supporting member having registering apertures in its opposite sides, said members having outwardly-bent portions, and supporting legs having a cross portion adapted to engage the registering apertures in the aforesaid support, substantially as shown and for the purposes described.
4. As a new improvement for the purposes specified, a supporting means for bicycles, comprising in combination; a body having a clip member for securing it to the bicycleframe, said body having straight sides 43, said sides having apertures 6 and slits f, communicating with the said apertures, divergingly-extending members 4, a brace-rod for holding the diverging members separated, and a spring member having laterally-bent portions to engage the apertures 6 in the supporting member and terminating in downward divergingly-extending leg members 2, said members being arranged to lie upon the members 4, the cross-bar 8 having its ends projected beyond the members i to form stops for the said legs, all being arranged substantially as shown and for the purposes described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
HUGH BURNET.
