Improvements in Cycle Supports or Stands.
ANDREW PEDDIE, 122, Sorley Street, Sunderland, County of Durham, Foreman
Boilermaker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a device for holding a cycle upright for the purpose of
cleaning or showing the cycle. To accomplish this I take a peice of iron or other
suitable material and shape it that one ends fits under the crank bracket or bracket
tubes on the other end open it wide enough to fit the tyres on the back wheel
which may rest on or of the ground this peice may follow the radius of wheel
or may be at an angle of about 45. On the above peice I fit a cross peice which
may be fixed or may be allowed to swing to suit the various heights of cycles this
is the leg or legs of support and may be straight, curved or triangle shaped on to
the swing leg or legs I fit an elastic spring which may be rubber or other or
material this spring is for the purpose of keeping the swing leg as upright as
possible. The spring may be done without but I prefer to use it. The above legs
may be fitted with hooks when by opening the stand the cycle may be turned upside
down and the handle bar of cycle rests in the hooks and the saddle part on the open
ends. The cycle is then handy for repairs or other purposes that could not be done
so easy when fitted in the stand upright.

ANDREW PEDDIE, 122, Sorley Street, Sunderland, Foreman Boilermaker, 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 : —
My invention relates to a device for keeping a cycle upright for the purpose of
being cleaned or showing the cycle.
To accomplish this I take a peice or iron or other suitable material and shape it
open it
that one end fits under the bracket or bracket tubes. On the other end I
wide enough to fit the tyres on the back wheel which may rest on or off the ground.
This peice may follow the radius of the wheel or may be at an angle of about
45 degrees on to the above peice I fit a cross peice which may be fixed or may be
allowed to swing to suit the various heights of cycles this is the leg or legs of
support and may be curved straight or triangle shaped, on to the swing leg or legs

In order that my said invention may be more clearly understood I will proceed
aided by accompanying drawings more fully to describe the same. In all the
figures like parts are marked with the same letters of reference.
Fig. 1 perspective view shews the support in its radial form and the fixed
legs C, C. The part A is to go under and between the crank bracket tubes of
cycle. The cycle resting on this part of the stand. The part B is opened and the
tyre or wheel of cycle fits in between thereby keeping the cycle upright.

or wheel.
Fig. 3 shews a side view of stand and part of a cycle resting on it F being the
bracket tubes and G the tyre or wheel.
Fig. 4 shews the stand in its straight form at about 45 degrees and the fixed legs.

handle bar of cycle when the cycle is turned upside down. D) is the elastic spring.
Fig. 6 shews it in its opened form ready for the cycle turned upside down.
handle bar of cycle resting in the hooks E and the saddle on the part B.
The
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
1st. A cycle support shaped at one end to fit under the bracket tubes. The other
end to hold the tyre or back wheel of cycle.
2nd. To be made of one centre peice and one cross peice.
