A Folding, Reversible, Detachable Child's Chair for Bicycle.
I, WILLIAM HENRY LIVESEY, of 12 Market Street, Edenfield, near Bury, in
the County of Lancashire, Cotton, Spinner, 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 folding, reversible, detachable child's chair for bicycle,
which consists of 'a suitable shaped seat with back and arms pivoted together.. by
screws so that when the top screws are removed from the arms, the chair can
be folded together. The seat is secured to the framework of a bicycle by 'a
hinge clip!
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, 1 .now
proceed to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to
letters and figures marked thereon.

Fig. 1, is the side view of the chair fitted to the frame of a bicycle.
Fig. 2, is a plan of the underside of the seat.
Fig. 3, is an elevation of the clip.
The seat pl is cut to a suitable shape and is provided with a rim round the same
The front part of
and a spring in the centre and over-laid with a pad or. the like.
the seat p¹ is broader than the back part so as to allow the arms and standards to
fold together. The back and arms are attached to the seat with swivel screws or
the like, and the top of the arms a are let into the standards b with a swivel screw
passing through at c which permits the end of a strap to be fixed thereto, and
across the front of the chair with a buckle in the centre for strapping a child in
the said chair.
Arms a and standards bare fitted together by screws or bolts and nuts, and by
Blackening the wing nut at c or the like, the back and arms fall forward or by taking

page_text: out the screws at c the back falls over the seat, with the arms and standards
towards the back e. Screws are replaced along with the strap which is intended to
bind the chair together in a folding position.
To the seat I fix pieces of leather or pieces of metal r of any kind jointed,
fastened to side of seat and back e as a stay.
At the bottom of the seat I construct a clip bolted together on a plate f which
works on a swivel or the like on the top of the clip g. The top of clip g is bevelled
off on one side with a sloping hole h or the like for sloping bars or stays, so that
the seat is level in any position. This said clip works on a hinge i with a small
screw or bolt and nut q, so that the bottom part m can be taken off and another
size put on as required according to the size of bar of framework j. The object of
the hole is to fit any size of bar or stay.
There is an oblong bole k for bolt head to allow the clip to open when being taken
off the top part g, and is fitted with a thumb screw n to fasten same to brackets o,
these are screwed to each side of seat p¹ so that which way the chair is turned it
brings the brackets o over the thumb screw n.
An adjustable rest p is provided which can be screwed into any of the brackets o
and into the bottom of seat, or by extending the top part of the brackets could
be fastened to the edge of the seat.
Adjustable stirrups or foot rests are fastened when required with a strap w in
any suitable manner. Buckles are provided on the strap for adjusting the stirrups
or foot rests v.
The rest p
is angle shaped and therefore fits any size bar or stay. The swivel
which screws into any of the brackets o has a square head at the bottom of the
thread.
The chair may be made of wood or bamboo, the arms being flat or the like, or
could be cast in aluminium or any other kind of metallic substance.
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 :-
1. In a folding, reversible, detachable child's chair for a bicycle, the combination
of the seat p¹ arms a standards 6 screws o back e pieces and the adjustable clip
fitted to the framework, substantially as herein described and according to the
accompanying drawing.
