PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Clip for Velocipedes.
I, CARL LOHMANN, of 22, Jewin Street, in the City of London, Merchant,
(a communication from Messieurs Beisser and Fliege, of Chemnitz, in the Kingdom
of Saxony, Hardware Manufacturers) do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the construction and application to velocipedes of an
improved clip for attaching bells, parcels and other articles thereto. The clip
consists of a flat piece of metal formed into an obtuse angle and with a hole
through which is passed a hook-shaped bolt threaded at its lower end to receive
a nut. It is also provided with an extension adapted to hold the bell, parcel or
other article to be carried. The central portion of the angular part of the clip is
grooved and the hook-shaped portion of the holt is situated immediately above
the groove, the distance between them being regulated by screwing the nut upon
the bolt.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Clip for Velocipedes.
I, CARL LOHMANN, of 22, Jewin Street, in the City of London, Merchant,
(a communication from Messieurs Beisser and Fliege, of Chemnitz, in the Kingdom
of Saxony, Hardware Manufacturers.) 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 improved clip for attaching bells, parcels and other
articles to velocipedes. The clip consists of a V-shaped piece provided with a hole or
socket through which is passed a hook-shaped bolt threaded at its lower end to receive
a nut. It is also provided with an extension adapted to hold the bell, parcel or other
article to be carried. The central portion of the angular part of the clip is grooved
or recessed and the hook-shaped portion of the bolt is situated immediately above
the recess, the distance between them being regulated by screwing the nut upon
the bolt.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same with
reference to the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved clip:
Figure 2 a plan; and
Figure 3 a section on the line xx Figure 1.
a is the V-shaped piece which forms one jaw of the clip, and b is the bolt, the
hooked shaped portion of which constitutes the other jaw. c is the socket through
which the shank of the bolt is passed, the said socket being formed integral with the
V-shaped piece, and represents a portion of the extension, which extension pre-
ferably is formed integral with the socket. It is obvious that the form of the extended
portion may vary according as to whether it is to carry, say, a bell, a lamp, or
luggage.
e is the recess formed in the jaw a so that the clip will grip at the sides where it is
applied

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved clip for velocipedes constructed substantially as herein before
described with reference to the accompanying drawing for the purpose specified.
Dated the 3rd day of November 1890.
