ALFRED BEDFORD, Dodbrooke Haven, 95, Milton Avenue, East Ham, Essex,
England, Engine Smith, 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:-
The feet I consist of two T castings crossing each other at right angles, these
are both slotted in the centre with a square hole cut through each to receive
box L which has a square shank at bottom with a round screwed part projecting
from same for connecting to the T castings with a nut underneath. The box Lis
of a rectangular shape with a pall plate E. G. sliding inside, which is morticed in 3
places to receive the prongs of a 3 pronged lever D which works on a spindle of a
solid bracket K fitted on one side of the box for the purpose of lifting same the pall
sliding plate E. G when raised is held in position by a small spring pall H which
springs into slots cut into side for this purpose, the top of pall sliding plate is of
larger section than sliding part for the purpose of setting to top of box when
closed, from this part there projects a round pivot for to take the bearing block. The
bearing block M is a casting with a boss under the centre, which is bored up so as
to drop over pivot as before pointed out, this is secured by the aid of a thumb
screw F, the top of block is hollowed out in centre at right angles to its side, similar
to shaft bearing at each end there is a flat projection to which is fitted a screwed stud

page_text: The above statement refers also to the drawing filed with the provisional
specification.
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.) The box and the three pronged lever which works on the pall-slide (which is
a momentary).
(2.) The top part which lifts the cycle and in which the cycle rests, being of a
peculiar construction i.e. The two arms (into which the studs which take the hook
and T bearing piece are fitted) are the reverse of the centre of the top in order to
take the two arms at the back of the cycle and the angle tube which comes from the
bracket of the cycle.
