facturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The cycle stand can be made to suit, and be fitted to either a lady's or
gentleman's bicycle, in the following way as described herewith:-1st a steel clip
which can be fixed onto the bottom tube of a cycle, or to any other suitable part
of a cycle frame, shall be used on, and may be fastened by a screw, bolt, or
pivot, and this same screw, bolt or pivot, can be made as to form an axle upon
which the 2nd part or leg of the stand shall be joined, or so connected with, as to
be in a rocking position. The leg can be made any length as may be required to
suit any particular cycle, and can be so adjusted to the tube or frame of the cycle,
that when the end of leg which is not attached to the 1st mentioned clip is drawn
downwards, it can rest on the ground and when placed at an angle, will support the
cycle with which it is connected. If the stand is not wanted for the purpose of
supporting the cycle, it may be raised upwards, and the end not attached to the
1st mentioned clip, may be secured to the frame at a higher point, by means of a
2nd clip which can be made of steel or any other suitable material. There can be
at the end of leg not attached to 1st named clip, a movable bit, to telescope in, or
fit onto the leg and adjusted by means of one or more screws or bolts. This shall
be a means of either shortening or lengthening the leg, when occasion requires it.
The stand shall be fixed on the cycle, so that when one end touches the ground, it
is at an angle of more or less degrees as required.
What I claim is, that the above forms an improved method of supporting a
cycle on a level road or otherwise.
