PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Stand Holders or Supports for Bioyoles.
I, ROBERT FREDERICK ПALL, Managing Director of The Cycle Components
Manufacturing Company Limited, of "Ferndale," Church Road, Moscley, Dea
the City of Bumingham, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to stand holders or supports for bicycles, principally
employed for displaying machines in shop windows, and has for its object, a simple,
efficient and adjustable stand.
In carrying out one form of my said invention, the holder or bracket part
consists of a bifurcated member, or of double bianched members, united together
at a semi-circular returned end, which fits and seats itself within a semi-circular
seating made within the front part of an attachment bracket, wherethrough a sciow
pin for wardly passes. The seat end of the forked or house-shoe shaped holder has
an elongated part, and has fitted within the concave on front part a semi-circular
o concave sented block, through which seated end of the bracket and the block or
washer the said sorew pin passes, upon which pin the holder is adjustable on a nut
on the end thereof, forward of the washer, being slackened.
Thus, to adjust the staud, loosen the nut, when the said bifurcated holder can
turn to any angle in the same plane and then by again screwing up the nut it
becomes fixed by the clamping of the curved inner end of it between the washer
and the seating.
In supporting a bicycle, the wheel cucumference or tyre (which is made to
yield) is placed between the branches of the forks, by which it is held m an
upright position.
Instead of the branched bracket being adjustable to tuin in one plane only it
may be made adjustable universally by forming the head of the screw pin conca vod
upon its inner facing and adapting it to take upon a like concaved inside facing
in the bracket and making a cucular pin clearance through the bracket and seating
end, so as to admit of the said bracket capable of making a gyratory movement in
any direction when the nut is loose.
In other words, the joint is made a ball and socket one, in which the seating end
constitutes the ball and the attachment bracket, which is secured to the wall or
floor of standard, the socket.
If necessary the fork or chip part may be made extending on the telescopic
principle by making one member slide telescopically within the other.
Dated this 13th day of May 1895.

I, ROBERT FREDERICK HALL, Managing Director of The Cycle Components
Manufacturing Company Limited, of "Feindale," Church Road, Moseley, near
the City of Birmingham, 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 stand holders or supports for bicycles, principally
employed for displaying machines in shop windows, and has for its object, a simple,
efficient and adjustable stand.
In carrying out one form of my said invention, the holder or bracket pait
consists of a bifurcated member, united together at a semi-cu cula returned end,
which fits and seats itself within a semi-circular seating made within the front part
of an attachment bracket, wherethrough a screw pin forwardly passes. The sent
end of the forked or horse-shoe shaped holder has an elongated pait, and has fitted
within the concave or front part, a semi-cncular or convex seated block, through
which seated end of the bracket and the block or washer the said screw pin passes,
upon which pin the holder is adjustable on a nut on the end thereof, for ward of the
washer, being slackened.
Thus, to adjust the stand, loosen the nut, when the said bifurcated holder cau
turn to any angle in the same plane and then by again screwing up the nut it
becomes fixed by the clamping of the curved unor end of it between the washer
and the seating.
In supporting a bicycle, the wheel circumference or tyre (which is made to
yield) is placed between the branches of the forks, by which it is held in an
upright position.
Figure of the accompanying drawings represents a perspective view of a
bicycle supporting bracket constructed according to my invention.
Figure 2 represents the same when in use and shown attached to a wall or other
support.
Tigure 3 represents a pait horizontal section of the said holder, showing the
adjustment and clamping means at the inner or foot end of the clip.
Figure 4 is a section of the bracket upon the dotted line. Figure 3
Figure 5 is a plan of the attachment plate separately and
Figure 6 is a view of the slotted end of the fork or clip.
The same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures
of the drawing.
a is a bifurcated or forhed member, with spring aims a', and with a semi-circular
returned and slotted end a², seating itself within a like concaved bearing 61, of an
attachment plate b, capable of being secured to a wall or other upright surface by
small screws.
This said plate ha passing through its middle, a screw or loose
screw c, prevented from rotating by a snug e', taking into a like-shaped gap b³,
formed in an opening of eye b³, wherethrough the shank of the screw pin passes.
The said shank also passes through a slot a and a convex-faced washer d, and has
a nut, taking upon its screwed end.
By loosening the nut, the body of the clip can be swung round and adjusted at
any desued angle, such as represented in the dotted lines in Figure 1.
Instead of the branched bracket being adjustable to turn in one plane only it
may be made adjustable universally by forming the head of the sciew più concaved
upon its inner facing and adapting it to take upon a like concaved inside facing in
the bracket and making a circular pin clearance through the bracket and seating
end, so as to admit of the said bracket being capable of making a gyratory
movement in any direction when the nut 18 loose.

page_text: In other words, the joint is made a ball and socket one, in which the seating end
constitutes the ball, and the attachment bracket, which is secured to the wall or
floor or standard, the socket.
Figure 6 represents a universally adjustable supporting bracket constructed
according to this latter form of our invention.
a 18 the clip bracket, having a semi-circular inner or returned end a* and a
piercing a², and with the said end seating itself upon the concavod bearing b³, of a
plate b, secured to a wall or other support and having a spherical socket b', wherein
the part spherical head c', of the pin c, whose shank directed through the
clearance, and has a convexed washer d, threaded upon it and a clamping nut f,
screwed onto its end, is capable of making a gyratory movement.
On the said nut being loosened the clip can be adjusted into any angle and
position as may be desired and then locked in the adjusted position by the
tightening of the nut.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manuer the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
First. A bracket support or holder for bicycles, having a radially adjustable clip
or fork, substantially as described and set forth in Figures 1 to 5.
Secondly. A bracket support or holder, consisting of a radially adjustable clip
or fork having a slotted returned inner end coming between a convoxed washer and
a concaved seating, and fixed in its adjusted position by a nut on the end of a screw
pin, bolt or equivalent passing through the said parts, substantially as described
and set forth in Figures 1 to 5.
Thirdly. A bracket support or holder for bicycles having a universally adjustable
clip or fork, substantially as described and set forth in Figure 6.
