PROVISIONAL DICITIATI
Improvements in Stands or Supports for Bicycles and the like.
I, FREDRICK EDWIN WOOD, of Woodend Road, Winton, in the County of Hants,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in stands or supports for bicycles and the
like, which consists of a pivoted cross-head with pivoted hooks and a loose fork,
either mounted on a pillar, telescopic, or on an inflator stand.
In carrying my invention into practice I construct a horizontal cross-head of any
suitable shape, and at each end I provide a pivoted hook. Near one end I pivot a
fork attached to a curved bar and is adjusted by means of a thumb-screw. The
aforesaid horizontal cross-head I pivot to a sliding clip or collar, or is pivoted to a
stationary upright stand, or to a telescopic stand, or to a stand with a pump or an
inflator. The sliding clip or collar on the pillar may be adjusted at any height by
means of a lever operating on a screw inserted through both parts of the clip.
The object of the pivoted hooks at the ends of the horizontal cross-head are to
engage with the bicycle frame to support the bicycle, and the loose fork to engage
with the front wheel to prevent the same from turning.
Either of the aforesaid clips or other parts of the apparatus may be covered with
any soft material to prevent damage to any machine.

Improvements in Stands or Supports for Bicycles and the like.
I, FREDRICK EDWIN WOOD, of Woodend Road, Winton, in the County of Hants,
Engineer, 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 improvements in stands or supports for bicycles and the
like, which consists of a pivoted cross-head with pivoted hooks and a loose fork,
either mounted on a pillar, telescopic, or on an inflator stand.
In carrying my invention into practice I construct a horizontal cross-head of any
suitable shape, and at each end I provide a pivoted hook. Near one end I pivot a
fork attached to a curved bar and is adjusted by means of a thumb-screw. The
aforesaid horizontal cross-head I pivot to a sliding clip or collar, or is pivoted to a
stationary upright stand, or to a telescopic stand, or to a stand with a pump or an

page_text: inflator. The sliding clip or collar on the pillar may be adjusted at any height by
means of a lever operating on a screw inserted through both parts of the clip.
The object of the pivoted hooks at the ends of the horizontal cross-head are to
engage with the bicycle frame to support the bicycle, and the loose fork to engage
with the front wheel to prevent the same from turning.
Either of the aforesaid clips or other parts of the apparatus may be covered with
any soft material to prevent damage to any machine.
And in order that my invention inay he thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a side elevation of a cross-head with hooks mounted on a telescopic
pillar with a foot and loose fork.
Fig. 2, is a front elevation of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3, is a front elevation of an inflator stand with pivoted hooks, loose fork and
sliding clip or collar.
Fig. 4, is a back elevation of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5, is a plan of the clip.
My invention consists of the following --
Firstly. A telescopic stand with a pivoted cross-head having fixed hooks, a fork
and set screws.
Secondly. A pillar stand with a pivoted cross-head, fixed hooks, a fork and a set
SCITE
Thinly. An inflator stand with pivoted cross-head and pivoted hooks, handle and
pump, india rubber tube, sliding clip or collar, lever handle and fork.
In carrying out the first part of my invention I construct a cross foot or base a¹
and on this said base a' I fix by means of rivets a socket plate b, and to the socket
I rigidly attach a pillar c of wrought iron tubing with a collar d at the top. In the
inside of the pillar c I fit a vertical telescopic slide e and at the top is a pivoted
cross-head a with a fixed hook at each end, these said hooks are covered with
india rubber h or any other soft material. The cross-head a is fixed in any sloping
position by means of a lever i attached to a nut j to tighten the screw k. On the
pillar I provide a twisted and bent fork with a set screw m for fixing the fork to
any angle. The telescopic stand as in Figs. 1, and 2, may be fixed at any suitable
height by means of the set screw n.
In carrying out the second part of my invention I construct a stand as in Figs. 1,
and 2, but omitting the telescopic apparatus thereby forming a rigid vertical
stand. The cross head a may be fixed by the lever and screw arrangement above
described, or the said cross head may be rivetted to the top of the pillar.
In performing the third part of my invention I construct a combined stand and
pump according to Figs. 3, and 4, in the following manner :-On a cross foot or
base a¹ I fix a pillar c with an inflating tube o and inside the aforesaid pillar I erect
a pump p. The pump is operated by the handle q. On the pillar c I place a cross-
head a fixed to a sliding clip r, and on each end of the cross head a I pivot a
hook g covered with soft material h, and also I pivot a fork and adjust the same
by means of a thumb screw m. The clip r is made in two parts and and fixed
rigidly on the pillar by means of the lever i and nut j on the screw k. The clip is
loosened on the pillar by a reverse action of the nut and lever i. The pillar in a
suitable position is covered for a short distance by a cover c¹ of any soft material.
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 stands or supports for bicycles, the combination of the various parts to form a
telescopic stand with a pivoted cross-head having fixed hooks, a fork and set screws,
substantially as herein described and according to Five 1 and of the mi

page_text: 2. In stands or supports for bicycles, the combination of the various parts to
form a rigid vertical stand without the telescopic slide, substantially as above
described in the above specification for the purpose specified.
3. In stands or supports for bicycles, the combination of the various parts to
form a combined stand and pump with an adjustable clip with a screw, nut and
lever, substantially as herein described and according to Figs. 3, and 4, of the
accompanying drawing.
4. In stands or supports for bicycles, the combination of the various parts or
their equivalent, substantially as described in the above specification for the purpose
specified.
