I, FRED HAMMOND, of 26, The Avenue, Acre Lane, Brixton, Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
My invention relates to an attachment to cyclometers of similar shape to those
known as "the Veeder" meters and has for its object to prevent the dust and
moisture from entering the same through the glass fitted in the barrel of the
meter as is now often the case.
This attachment consists of a specially formed circular clip or band of celluloid
or other material which being split transversely allows it to open sufficiently to
permit its passing over and around the barrel of the meter and securely gripping
the same.
The said clip or band may be slightly turned over so as to form a flange on
either side for the better protection of the dial. By this means a simple and
efficient covering is provided for the prevention of the entry of dust and damp
into the cyclometer whilst the figures appearing can easily be ascertained.
As a modification I may provide a metal clip for gripping the barrel of the
meter similar to that above described but having a suitable perforation to allow
of the reading of the figures appearing on the meter such opening being provided
with a piece of celluloid or other transparent material either fixed thereto or held
in position by the grip of the steel clip

I, FRED HAMMOND, of 26, The Avenue, Acre Lane, Brixton, Gentleman, 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:-
This invention relates to an attachment or device for use in connection with
cyclometers and which is especially applicable to the kind known as the "Veeder'
meters, and has for its object to prevent dust, moisture or dirt from entering
the same through the joint formed by the glass face fitted to the slot or opening
in the barrel of the meter as frequently happens. The said attachment consists
Pri 871

page_text: of a circular clip or band of celluloid or other transparent flexible material which
being slit across permits of its being passed over and around the
barrel of the meter and securely gripping the same. Or I may
employ a piece or strip of celluloid to lap over and cover the glass face or
dial and keep the same in position by means of a metal spring clip formed with
a slot or opening for exposing the figures recorded. The said clip is forced on
to and partly surrounds and covers the barrel, the celluloid strip being held between
it and the latter, and its edges are partly turned over or formed with a flange
for preventing endwise motion, and to serve as an additional protection to the
dial or face.
In the annexed sheet of drawings Fig. 1 is an end view of a cyclometer with
my improved attachment in position thereon, and Fig. 2 is a side view at right
angles to Fig. 1 with the attachment or device in section. Fig. 3 is a cross-section
of the metal spring clip and celluloid strip, and Fig. 4 is a central section of the
same at right angles to Fig. 3.
a is the barrel of the ordinary cyclometer and b is the metal spring clip
for holding the strip of celluloid or transparent material c in position- on the
said barrel. As will be seen the strip c is made of sufficient size to well lap
over and cover the slot d in the barrel thus preventing any dust, moisture or
dirt from reaching the joint between the edges of the said slot and the glass face
or dial fitted thereto.
The clip or plate 6 is formed with the opening or slot 6 for exposing the face
or index of the meter, and the sides or edges of the said plate are partly turned
over or flanged as at 62 opposite the slot 61 to prevent endwise shifting and to
act as an additional protection to the dial or face. The said piece of celluloid.
may if desired be attached to the metal spring clip by cementing it thereto or
by any other desired means.
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
or
(1) An
attachment for use with cyclometers comprising a piece
strip of celluloid fitted to the barrel or body of the cyclometer so as to overlap
and cover the slot forming the dial face or index, substantially as described and
for the purposes specified.
(2) An attachment or device for use with cyclometers consisting of a metal
spring clip such as 6 formed with an opening and flanges 62 and a strip or
piece of celluloid or other transparent material e covering the slot d of the dial
face or index and held between the body a of the cyclometer and the clip b, sub-
stantially as described.
