Improvements in or relating to Cyclists' Wallets and the like.
I, FRIEDRICH STEPHAN, Manufacturer, of Mühlhausen, in Germany, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
-
This invention relates to a cyclist's wallet or the like which may be of any
desired shape, size and construction and is characterised by its being provided
with an inner part or holder made of wood, paper, cork, metal, composition or
other material.
The accompanying drawing illustrates a cyclist's wallet provided with such
an inner part,
Fig. 1 being an elevation and Fig. 2 a section.
Figs. 3, 4 and 5 show the inner part removed from the wallet in different
views and
Fig. G is a section on the line A-B of Fig. 3.
It will be seen from these figures that the inner part or holder a of the wallet
is of the same shape as the latter, and is provided with recesses c¹, c², c³
chamber-like hollow portions shaped to suit the form of the tools or articles
to be carried.
or
The separate tools or articles are securely placed in these hollow places or
recesses or holders whereby the knocking together and rattling produced
during riding by the tools etc. in the ordinary form of cycle wallets is completely
avoided.
The inner holder shown consists of a double thickness of material a, which
may be of cork, wood, composition etc. connected together by a web a¹ (or they
may be hinged together at the side or bottom). One part or side (Fig. 3) is pro-
vided with a recess c¹ for an oilcan, and a recess for a match box or repair
outfit box, on the other side is a recess c³ for a spanner, and a second recess c
for a wrench, tyre lever or the like. In order to retain the articles in place
flaps, straps or cross pieces are applied over part of the recesses.. Inner
recesses dd (Fig. 6) may be provided for other articles when the inner holder
consists of two hinged parts. The edge of one of the sides of the inner holder a
may be recessed and provided with a strap, ring or rings e to receive a pump;
whilst the space at the top may contain a cloth or duster.
The inner part a can be readily removed from the wallet 6 by means of a handle
or tab f, and in this way the use of the tools is very easy and convenient owing
to all the tools being visible and arranged separately.
In this way searching in the wallet for the tool or article required is obviated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
---
1. A cyclist's wallet or the like of any shape, size and construction provided

page_text: with an inner part or holder of a shape corresponding to that of the wallet of
wood, paper, cork, metal, composition or other suitable material and rendered
removable by means of a tab or handle, said inner part being provided with
recesses or compartments having shapes corresponding to the shape of the iools
or articles to be arranged in said recesses whereby rattling of the articles carried
is obviated, and any article required can be readily found, substantially as
described.
2. A cyclist's wallet substantially as described and illustrated in the accompany-
ing drawings.
