PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Stand or Rest and Luggage Carrier as a Detachable
Apparatus Affixable to Bicycles.
1 JOHN WEAVER INNES of Harefield, South Eastern Road, Ramsgate, County
of Kent, Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved stand or rest and luggage carrier as a
detachable apparatus affixable to bicycles.
For the purpose of my invention I form a broad or wide base as a bottom bar to
a couple of inwardly inclined legs the upper parts of which are curved forwardly
to form shoulders on which the crank bracket of a bicycle can be lodged the
extremities of the legs being then curved backwardly to pass on either side of the
centre stay where each leg is provided with a half round socket plate for embracing
said centre stay by a screw pin or clamp; the apparatus thus constituting a stand"
or rest for holding a bicycle upright.
The apparatus is so made that when detached as a rest it is applicable to be-
similarly affixed to some other part of the framing to serve as a luggage carrier or
as found convenient.
I purpose making holes in or attaching clips to the lower part of each leg for
reception of an axle provided with rollers so that the article can be utilized, not
only as a support or rest but to facilitate the machine being moved from one place
to another, a convenience specially suitable when oiling or cleaning is necessary.
Dated this 11th day of January 1896.

rest, Figure 3 the apparatus as a luggage carrier, I form a broad or wide base as
a bottom bar A to a couple of inwardly inclined legs B, B, the upper parts of
which as at C, C, are curved forwardly to form shoulders or bearings on which the
crank bracket D of a bicycle can be lodged, the extremities of the legs being then

embracing said centre stay F by a sorew pin or clamp H, which may be a throw
over catch as at Figure 4.
The apparatus thus constructed or shaped constitutes a stand or rest for holding
a bicycle upright but when not required as a rest it is available to be similarly
affixed to some other. part of the framing to serve as a luggage carrier, as at
Figure 3, or as found convenient.
I purpose making holes in or attaching clips to the lower part of each leg for
reception of an axle I provided with rollers J, J, so that the article can be utilised
when acting as a support or rest.to facilitate the machine being moved from one
place to another, a convenience specially suitable when oiling or cleaning* is
necessary.
Having now particularly described and .ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed. I declare: that what. I
claim is:-

and. its employment as a rest or support from the pedal crank bracket and as a
clip to frame of a bicycle, as.described.
2. The apparatus shown on the annexed drawings as a luggage carrier
supported by and clipped to the frame of a bicycle available also by changing its
position as a rest for the machine from the pedal bracket, as set forth.
