Improvements in and relating to Bicycles.
We, DANIEL SCHWARZ and GUIDO LUXEDER both of Temesvar in the
Kingdom of Hungary, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to an improved device for retaining a bicycle-of the
rear-driving type-in an upright position when not in use, the said device being
adapted for use as a mudguard for the front wheel when the machine is in use.
The device consists of a stout wire frame one end of which is pivotted to a clip
or clamp whereby it is attached to the lower forward member of the main frame of
the bicycle, and its other end is splayed out so as to form a wide foot to give a good
lateral support to the machine when it is in contact with the ground acting as a
stand or support.
When not so used the frame is turned on its pivot to lie under
the lower forward member of the main frame and it is retained in that position by
means of a suitable spring clip.
The frame is covered with any suitable fabric-preferably a waterproof
material-so that when turned up and secured to the fraine it acts as a mudguard
for the front wheel.

We, DANIEL SCHWARZ and GUIDO LUXEDER both of Temesvar, in the
Kingdom of Hungary, 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 device for retaining a bicycle-of the
rear-driving type-in an upright position when not in use, the said device being
adapted for use as a mudguard for the front wheel when the machine is in use.
In the accompanying drawing which illustrates this invention :-
Figure 1 is a broken view in side elevation of the device.
Figure 2 is a broken view in plan thereon, and
Figure 3 is a view-on a reduced scale-of a bicycle fitted with the device.
Throughout the views similar parts are marked with like letters of reference.
The device consists of a stout wire frame G one end of which is pivotted to an
axle a carried by a clip or clamp adapted to be attached to the lower forward
member h of the main frame of the bicycle, and its other end is splayed out so as

page_text: to form feet gg to give a good lateral support to the machine when the device is in
contact with the ground acting as a stand or support. When not so used the frame
is turned on its pivot to lie under the lower forward member h of the main frame
and it is retained in that position by means of a suitable spring clip i. To enable
the frame G to be turned up to lie in contact with the frame as shown by dotted
lines in Figure 3, the steering wheel is turned through an angle of 45°.
The frame G is covered with any suitable fabric-preferably a waterproof
material--so that when turned up and secured to the frame it acts as a mudguard
for the front wheel..
The clip or clamp carrying the axle a consists of a hollow coned part f, of a
loop K formed of a strip or band of steel or other suitable metal, of a nut d to which
the ends of the loop K are connected and of a screw e passing through the base of
the hollow coned part f and threaded into the nut d.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
(1.) The improved device constituting a portable stand and a mudguard for
bicycles, substantially as herein before described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawing.
(2.) A portable bicycle stand capable of being also used as a mudguard,
consisting essentially of a fabric-covered frame G, of an axle a carried by a clip
or clamp adapted to be attached to the frame of the machine, and of a spring clip i
mounted on the frame of the machine, and adapted to hold the stand in its
up-turued position, as set forth.
