Improvements in Packing or Covering Casings for the Wheels of
Cycles.
We,
WALLACE PECK and CHARLES T. B. WEYESS, both of 69 Wall Street,
in the City of New York, County of New York, and State of New York, United
States of America, Inventors 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:-
This invention relates to bicycles and the object thereof is to provide a covering
or casing for the wheels, whereby said wheels may be protected in shipping, and
with this and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction,
combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following Specification, of which the
accompanying drawing forms a part, in which :-
Fig. 1, is a side view of a part of a bicycle frame, showing the manner of
carrying my improved casing or covering for the wheels ;
Fig. 2, a side view of said casing:
Fig. 3, an edge view thereof;
Fig. 4, a partial section on the line 4-4; and,
Fig. 5, a view showing the sections of the covering folded together.
In the practice of my invention, I provide a casing or covering for bicycle
wheels consisting of two semi-circular portions A, which are strapped together
when in use as shown at B, said connection being made by means of straps and
buckles, or in any desired manner.
Each of the semi-circular casings A, is composed of side boards C, which may
be formed of any desired material, leather, wood, or properly prepared paper, and
said sides are united by means of a flexible strip D.
The side boards C, are also preferably divided into two equal parts as shown
at E, which are also united by means of flexible strips or in any desired manner.
1 also provide a receptacle F, shown in Fig. 1, which is in the form of one of
the semi-circular sections when folded in the middle, or along the line E, and when
the sections of said casing are folled together as shown in Fig. 5, they may be
placed in the receptacle F, as will be readily understood, and suspended from the
top bar of the frame of the bicycle as shown in Fig. 1.
My invention is not limited to the material of which the wheel casing is
composed, nor is it limited to the exact form, construction and arrangement thereof
as shown and described; and therefore reserve the right to make all such
alterations therein, as fairly come within the scope of the invention.
The manner of connecting the casing with the wheel or wheels will be readily
understood without further description, the separate parts being placed over the
wheel so that the hubs thereof will extend through the central circular opening in
the casing, and said separate parts or sections are then buckled together as
herein before described.
Having fully described my invention, I claim aud desire to secure by Letters
Patent
1. A casing for bicycle wheels, consisting of two semi-circular parts which are
adapted to be connected and to enclose the wheel, substantially as shown and

page_text: 2. The herein described casing for bicycle wheels, comprising two semi-circular
sections, which are adapted to be secured together, said sections, each comprising
side boards which are semi-circular in form, and united by flexible strips and said
sections being also adapted to be folded in the middle, substantially as shown and
described.
3. A casing for bicycle wheels, comprising two semi-circular sections, said
sections being each composed of side boards, which are united around their similar
portions by means of flexible strips, each of said sections being also adapted to be
folded in the middle, and said casing when so folded being adapted to be placed in
a receptacle which may be suspended from the frame of the bicycle, substantially
as shown and described.
4. A casing for bicycle wheels, comprising two semi-circular sections, each of
which is composed of side boards, the circular surfaces of which are united by a
flexible strip and each of said side boards being also divided and the separate
parts thereof being united by flexible strips substantially as shown and
described.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Packing or Covering Casings for the Wheels of
Cycles.
We, WALLACE PECK and CHARLES T. B. WEYESS, both of 69 Wall Street,
in the City of New York, County of New York, and State of New York, United
States of America, Inventors do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what ammner the same is to be performel, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:—
This invention relates to bicycles and the object. thereof is to provide a covering
or casing for the wheels, whereby said wheels may be protected in shipping, and
with this and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction,
combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following Specification, of which the
accompanying drawing forms a part, in which :-
Fig. 1, is a side view of a part of a bicycle frame, showing the mauner of
carrying my improved casing or covering for the wheels;
Fig. 2, a side view of said casing:
Fig. 3, an edge view thereof;
Fig. 4, a partial section on the line 4—4; and,
Fig. 5, a view showing the sections of the covering folded together.
In the practice of my invention, I provide a casing or covering for bicyclo
wheels consisting of two semi-circular portions A, which are strapped together
when in use as shown at B, said connection being made by means of straps and
buckles, or in any desired manner.
Each of the semi-circular casings A, is composed of side boards C, which may
he formed of any desired material, leather, wood, or properly prepared paper, and
said sides are united by means of a flexible strip D.
The side boards C, are also preferably divided into two equal parts as shown
at E, which are also united by means of flexible strips or in any desired manner.
I also provide a receptacle F, shown in Fig. 1, which is in the form of one of
the semi-circular sections when folded in the middle, or along the line E, and when
the sections of said casing are folded together as shown in Fig. 5, they may be
placed in the receptacle F, as will be readily understood, and suspended from the
top bar of the frame of the bicycle as shown in Fig. 1.
My invention is not limited to the material of which the wheel casing is
composed, nor is it limited to the exact form, construction and arrangement thereof
as shown and described; and therefore reserve the right to make all such
alterations therein, as fairly come within the scope of the invention.
The manner of connecting the easing with the wheel or wheels will be readily
understood without further description, the separate parts being placed over the
wheel so that the hubs thereof will extend through the central circular opening in
the easing, and said separate parts or sections are then buckled together as
hereinbefore described.
Having fully described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters
Patent-
