Improvements in or relating to Saddles for Cycles, Motor-cars, or

•
I, JOSEPH PRITCHARD, of Albion House, Birmingham Road, Kidderminster, in
the County of Worcester, Architect and Surveyor, do hereby declare the nature of
my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement;
-
My invention has for its object improvements in or relating to saddles for cycles,
motor cars or other like vehicles and consists of a widening out of the leather or
other covering material or frame of saddles for cycles, motor cars or the like vehicles
either at the rear or sides or any other part of the saddle for the purpose of attach-
ing permanently or otherwise a tablet or label for the name and address of the
owner or destination of the machine or cycle.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practical effect I have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings showing the
same suitable for both ladies and gentlemens saddles, but it must be clearly under-
stood that I do not confine myself to the exact position sizes or arrangement as
these may be varied without departing from the principle of the invention.
Figure is a back perspective view of the gentlemans saddle S showing the
back portion carried downwards at the back part over the back of the springs
to receive the label L.
Figure 2 is a broken off cross section on the line 1-2 showing the back portion of
the saddle where the label enters.,
Figure 3 is a side perspective view of a ladies saddle S showing its arrangement
for receiving the label L at the sides of the front portion.
The gentlemans saddle is shown at Figure 1 and is so represented by the letter S

page_text: and the continuation of the back portion by the letters which has the portion 55
cut out so as to show the tablet L which bears upon its face the name and address
of the owner of the machine. The back portion is shown in section at Figure 2
and has the shield + attached thereto thus forming a pocket or slide for the tablet L.
The continuations may be made from a separate piece of leather or other material
to the top portion of the saddle S as shown in the example on the drawing and the
metal frame itself may be continued downwards and similarly formed to receive the
tablet with similar effect as will be clearly understood and the shape may be con-
siderably varied as well as the cut out portion s³.
In regard to the ladies saddle I have shown the tablet holding space at the
side as there is more substance to work upon there but otherwise the mode of
applying the tablet L would be similar to that explained for Figure 1. The ladies
saddles may however have the tablet fixed at the back or other portion as shown
in Figure 1.
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:-
CLAIM.
The improvements in or relating to sadles for cycles motor cars, or other like
vehicles consisting essentially of the provision at the back sides or other part of the
cover of the tablet holding arrangement whether in one piece with cover or attached
separately or as a part of the cover or the frame substantially as herein set forth
and shown upon the drawings.
