NICHOLAS POGOSE.
I, NICHOLAS POGOSE of 82 Montpelier Road, Brighton in the County Sussex
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of my invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to provide a portable cycle rest to meet the
requirements of cyclists when they have occasion to support their bicycles when
breaking their journey.
The accompanying drawing represents an arrangement according to my
invention.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a bicycle with a rest according to my invention
attached shewing in full lines, the rest in position for use, and in dotted lines the
position when out of use.
Figure 2 is a separate view partly in section of the portable cycle rest detached
from the bicycle.
The said cycle rest consists of a telescopic tubular arrangement consisting of a
tube or rod C sliding in a tube A which is connected by a double hinge or
universal joint a to a collar or loop 6 or equivalent means by which it can be
secured to the machine. The device can be made removable by making the collar
or loop & hinged at 63 and securing it by a screw 63. The rod or tube C can slide
in a bush piece a secured in the tube A and is provided with a head C to
prevent its being wholly withdrawn from the tube A. The end of the tube A is
slit at a and the bush a² is correspondingly slit at a and a collar D is fitted over
the end of the tube A the said collar having ears through which passes a
screw d so that by tightening this the end of the tube A and collar a' can be
clamped upon the rod or tube C to hold it in the extended position to which it has
been adjusted. The rod or tube C may be pointed or otherwise formed to give a

page_text: hold on the ground. When out of use the collar D may be slackened and the
rod or tube C be slidden into the tube A and again secured by the collar D and
the device turned up and secured to the frame as shewn in dotted lines in
Figure 1.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inveu-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
A portable cycle rest consisting of a telescopic tubular arrangement with a
double hinge or universal joint connection with the cycle and provided with means
for fixing the parts in their desired position substantially as hereinbefore described
-and illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
Dated this 11th day of February 1897.
