page_text: I, HENRY JAMES SHEPHERD, of Burlington Passage, New Street, Birmingham,
Tailor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
This invention consists in forming a parcels carrier for cycles that can readily
be attached to or detached from the machine.
Preferably I make the carrier in two parts and of spring wire or other suit-
able material, these two parts interlock on the machine as hereinafter described
and thus form the carrier.
The one part consists in so bending a length of wire as to form two scroll
arms right and left of the centre which is turned back and bent round to form
a spring clip for the purpose of attachment to the machine.
The corresponding part of the carrier forms the interlocking portion and
consists of a long stem or centre part the lower extremity of which is turned
round to clip onto the machine, the upper parts being turned round right and
left in scroll arms or other designs to form the supports for the parcels. It
will be understood that the two parts when interlocked on the machine the one
set of scroll arms are above the other horizontally and receive the parcel between
them and securely clip same.
The carrier is attached to the machine thus. The one part is passed onto the
handle pillar and turned back over the handle bar this causes the turned round
lip portion to clip around the pillar, the other or second part of the carrier is
now passed onto and around the pillar in similar manner between the clipping
arms of the first part and turned over the handle bar in the opposite direction
viz., away from the rider thus the handle pillar and handle bar are gripped by
the interlocking lips of the centres of the two parts forming the spring carrier.

I, HENRY JAMES SHEPHERD, of Burlington Passage, New Street, Birmingham,
Tailor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
[Price 8d.]

page_text: same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement, reference being had to the drawings hereunto
annexed, and to the figures and letters shewn thereon:-
My invention consists in constructing a parcel carrier or holder or carrier
for any other purpose such as for a macintosh or the like applicable for cycles
that can readily be attached to, or detached from, the machine. When in posi-
tion on the machine the carrier is rigidly fixed and cannot by any chance work
loose, rattle or fall. Preferably I make the carrier in two sections or parts
and of spring wire or other suitable material these two parts interlock and engage
each other and the machine as hereinafter fully described and so comprise the
carrier.
Figure 1 represents the spring carrier fixed in position on the machine.
Figure 2 represents the upper section or part.
Figure 3 the lower section or part.
The one section or part consists in so bending a length of wire as to form
two curved scroll arms A A¹ right and left the lower part is bent back and
turned round to form a spring clip or hook A for the purpose of attachment to
the machine. The corresponding section or part of the carrier forms the inter-
locking portion and consists of a long stem or centre part formed by two scroll
ended arms B B the lower extremity of which is turned up and bent round to
form a spring clip or hook B³ to clip on to the machine the upper parts of the
arms BB are turned round it will be seen to the right and left in scrolls or
other designs to form the supports for the parcels or other articles:
It will be understood that the two sections or parts when interlocked on the
machine the one set of scroll arms are above the other horizontally and receive
the parcel or other article between them and securely holds same.
The opera-
tion of attaching the carrier in position on the machine is thus.
The upper
part or section A A¹ is passed on to the handle pillar C and turned over and
back from the handle bar D this causes the turned round clip or hook A³ to
bear up and clip around the pillar C. The corresponding or lower part or
section B B is now passed onto and around the handle pillar C in similar manner
the turned round clip or hook B2 engaging the opposite part of the pillar C to
that engaged by A³. The scroll arms B B when being turned over into posi-
tion on the machine are drawn up between the arms A A¹ already in position
so that when the arms B B¹ are turned over the handle bar C the two sets of
scroll arms A A B B lie in a direction away from the rider thus the handle
pillar C and handle bar D are gripped by the interlocking clips or spring
hooks A2 B2 of the two sections or parts A A B B forming the spring carrier
or holder whereby the said spring carrier is so to speak firmly locked on to the
machine and cannot slip by reason of the lateral support of the handle bar .D
and also the grip around the pillar C.
The carrier or holder can readily be detached from the machine by reversing
the above action.
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:
1. In connection with cycles, a spring carrier or holder for parcels and other
articles formed in two sections or parts the one part consisting of the parts A A¹ A³
made to engage and interlock with the handle pillar C and handle bar D) and
the corresponding part consisting of the parts B B B made to engage and inter-
lock with the handle pillar C and handle bar D all in combination with each
other and with the parts of the machine to which they are attached in manner
substantially as and for the purpose herein described and illustrated.

structed fixed and operating in manner as and for the purpose set forth.
