Improvements in Holders or Supports for Umbrellas or Sunshades
for Bicycles.
JOHN JOEL WAGSTAFF of No. 7 St. John's Street Newport Pagnell in the
County of Buckingham Saddler do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in holders or supports for umbrellas or
sunshades for bicycles. My said invention consists of holders or supports made with
moveable joints arms hinges thumb screws and sockets cr clasps to be made in
suitable demensions and from any suitable material that the riders of bicycles are
able to turn revolve or tilt the umbrellas or sunshades in any direction at wish to
shelter them from the heat of the sun or rain and a help to riders when the wind
is blowing at their backs the holders or supports to be fastened or fixed to bicycles
in a substantial manner, and to be removeable when not required for use. In
constructing holders according to my invention to be formed in suitable demensions
I employ hinges or clasps or holders in a suitable shape that by means of a thumb
screw the holders may be fixed or fastened to any suitable part of bicycles and
I may employ the same kind of hinges or clasps or holders to hold or support any
kind of umbrellas or sun shades.
But in some cases I may use a spring holder of a suitable size and shape that by
pressing the holder it causes the holder to spring on and hold fast to bicycles, or

page_text: umbrellas or sunshades the holders to have joints or parts with projections and
hollows that by means of thumb screws you may unfasten or loose and turn the
parts of holders to any position or direction, and by that means an umbrella or
sun shade may be placed in any direction, in some cases I may use sliding parts for
lengthening or shortening holders.
In constructing holders according to my invention I employ a clasp or socket b.
Fig. 1. for holding the sunshades or umbrellas and can be tightened fixed or
fastened with the thumb screw a. c is a moveable joint fixed in a suitable
direction. The clasp or socket d. is for fixing or fastening the holders or supports
to bicycles in a substantial manner and is fixed or fastened by the thumb screw e.
and to be removable when not required for use.
The joint c Fig. 2 is so constructed with projections and hollows that by means
of a thumb screw you may unfasten or loose and turn revolve or tilt the parts of
holders to any position or direction and by that means an umbrella or sunshade
may be placed in any suitable direction. The sockets or clasps may be opened
by means of thumb screw e. and falls back again by means of the hinge d. and can
be reclosed and fixed on any bicycle.
The clasp or socket b may be opened to receive sunshades or umbrellas by
means of thumb screw a.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
Holders The combination of parts whereby holders may be fixed or fastened to
bicycles and hold any kind of umbrellas or sunshades substantially as herein
described and shown.
And the umbrellas or sunshades may be loosed from holders and used by the
riders of bicycles when not required for use on bicycles.
