Improvements in Attachable Band Clip Joints for Cycle Attachments
and the like.
We, ENOCH EVANS, of Bath Street, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer;
and WILLIAM MANNING, of 181 Hockley Street, in the City of Birmingham, Cycle
Fittings Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in attachable band clip joints for cycles
attachments and the like, such as for the formation of a joint to carry the brake
lever, and its attachments to the handle bar, and its object is to make the joint
and clip from one piece of metal in such a manner that the metal at the inside
of the jaw of the joint shall be impinged upon the bar when tightening up by
the binding screw and thereby secure rigidity of fixing.
A strip of metal is cut to the required length and width, and then bent so as
to form a jaw between which the brake lever or other desired part--may fit or
work. These two jaws are thus of doubled metal. From these two jaws the strip
is further shaped to fit around the handle bar or other part, and terminates with
the ordinary outstanding ends through which the binding bolt passes by which
it is bound upon the handle. The metal which forms the inner part of the jaws
is carried inwards in such a manner as to lie or bed itself firmly against the
handle bar; hence when the pull from the binding screw takes place this middle
part is pulled up against the handle bar and offers a firm pressure thereon so
as not to be easily moved as in the present cases, without interfering with the
freedom of the lever in the jaws. If desired, the doubled metal parts at their
junction with the encircling of the handle bar, may he additionally held together
by making in the one a slot hole, and forming from the other a pushed through
projection which shall pass through the hole and be then turned down, or rivetted.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION
Improvements in Attachable Band Clip Joints for Cycle Attachments
and the like.
We, ENOCH EVANS, of Bath Street, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick,
Manufacturer; and WILLIAM MANNING, of 181 Hockley Street, in the City of
Birmingham, Cycle Fittings Manufacturer; do hereby declare the nature of this

page_text: invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
- S:1
This invention relates to improvements in attachable band clip joints for cycle
attachments and the like, such as for the formation of a joint to carry the brake
lever, and its attachments to the handle bar, and its object is to make the joint
and clip from one piece of metal in such a manner that the metal at the inside
of the jaw of the joint shall be impinged upon the bar when tightening up by
the binding screw and thereby secure rigidity of fixing.
In order to more clearly explain this our invention, we have appended hereunto
an illustrative drawing upon which are figures and numbers of referénce, similar
numbers referring throughout to the same thing or part, and in which:-
Fig. 1, illustrates our invention as applied to the handle bar of a cycle in order
to carry the brake lever.
Fig. 2, is an end view of the invention, as shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 3, is a detached end view of the invention having a slight modification
from that shown in Figs. 1 and 2. ***
A strip of metal is cut to the required length and width, and then bent so as
to form a jaw 5, between which the brake lever 6, or other desired part may fit
or work.The sides of this jaw are thus of doubled metal. From the sides of
this jaw the strip is further shaped to fit around the handle bar 7, or other part,
and terminates with the ordinary outstanding ends 8, 8, through which the
binding bolt 9, passes, by which it is bound upon the handle bar. The metal
which forms the inner part of the jaw at 10, is carried inwards slightly in excess
in such a manner as to lie or bed itself firmly against the. handle bar 7; hence
when the pull from the binding screw takes place this middle part 10, is pulled
up tightly against the handle bar and offers a firm pressure thereon so as not to
be easily moved, without interfering with the freedom of the lever in the jaws.
If desired, the doubled metal parts at their junction with the encircling of the
handle bar, may be additionally held together by making in the one part 11, a
slot hole, and forming from the other part 12, a pushed through projection 13,
which shall pass through the hole 11, and be then turned down, or rivetted, as
shown in Fig. 3.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. The band clip having the double thicknessed sides to the jaw 5, with
the supporting part 10, ends 8, 8, and bolt 9, all substantially as set forth and
shown and for the purposes specified.
2. The combination with the clip as referred to in first claim of the tie
piece or projection 13, arranged and operating substantially as set forth and
shown in Fig. 3.
