I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S., M.I.M.E., of The Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool and 6, Bank Street,
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster and 323, High Holborn, in the
County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to an improved attachment or device enabling articles of
various kinds, luggage, lanterns, bells, etcetera, to be easily and conveniently
attached to a bicycle or the like without being fastened to any one particular part
of the same.
For this purpose, the attachment or device consists of two clamp-jaws revolvable
on a pin, which, when in use, embrace the handle or other bar of the frame of the
bicycle or the like, and which may be pressed firmly against such bar on a nut
being screwed up by means of a suitably formed sheath, and thus the attachment
or fastening of the device be effected. The sheath, in this case, acts as a support
or washer for the screw nut. In order to obtain in all cases a secure hold for the
device, the two clamp-jaws are roughened on their inner sides.
When removing the attachment or device from the bicycle or the like, the screw
nut is screwed back again, whereupon the sheath releases the jaws and the latter
cease to act.
