PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Portable and Detachable Store House or Hut for Bicyoles and
the like.
PHILIP O'NEIL, 16, Albany Street, Regent's Park London, Electrical
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :—
This invention relates to a portable & detachable store house or hut, as the case
may be, for bicycles & the like, & is designed not only as a convenience but also to
afford a more perfect & reliable means for excluding damp & thereby minimizing
the destroying effects of oxygenation upon such articles.
To this end I employ the use of ordinary wood boarding to form the various parta
or sections of the said house, pamely the floor, sides, gables, roof & door.
To the sides of the boards forming the inside of the said house I apply a liquid
compound of any suitable substance such as tar & pitch which is afterward covered
with sheets of any suitable material such as felt the same being made fast by means
of ordinary tacks.
Wooden stays, or crosspieces, are now nailed on to the felt side near the edge of
each section so as to keep the boarding in position.
These stays have holes drilled in them at suitable places in order to receive screw-
bolts which have the effect of keeping each section in its proper position & thus
forming the house or hut as above stated.
The door is cut into any of the said sections & may be hinged & fastened as
required.
The roof section is constructed in two pieces & hinged together for folding
purposes & it may also possess a metal or wooden ridge.
