Cycle Stand.
PETER TAYLOR, No. 89, Bostock Street, Warrington, Furniture Dealer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An iron box attached to an up right piece of iron, the iron being bent to form
the back and one side of grip the other two sides being supplied by a bolt which
slides horizontaly till it meets the other sides of the grip, by putting a penny in a
slot in the front of the box and letting it drop the weight of the penny will
cause a bolt to be drawn which will allow the bolt that grips the cycle to come
out of the box and fasten itself, the cycle is first put between the grip before the
penny is put in. The lock locks the cycle by the front of frame underneath the
handle bar. You turn a key and take out cycle by lifting a lever. An iron
box about eight inches deep five and a half inches wide two inches diameter
inside measurement the front of box to be in two parts top and bottom. One
side of the box to be separated by a space three eigths of an inch deep from the
top. Under this space but in front of box is a perpendicular slot the size of a
penny. The box is attached to an upright piece of iron which is bent to form
the back and right of grip and the bolt (A) which is a piece of iron or suitable
metal, about two inches wide three-eigths of an inch deep and eight inches long
one end of which is hollowed arc shape to form the front and left of grip. In
side of the box is a spindle (C) which works in a hole in the back of the box and
in a hole which it passes through about half an inch in the front of box, the
spindle being flanged to prevent it from coming further through, you fasten upon
that portion which projects through, a plate, half circle in shape, there is an are
shaped hollow in the plate to allow the plate as it turns to pass over the handle
of a key, the edge of the hollow to catch the handle of the key which before
being touched by the plate would be horizontal but afterwards perpendicular.
The plate is weighted to cause it to turn or drop. Attached to spindle (C) and
projecting upward between two bits of iron projecting downwards from bolt (A)
is a carrier; when bolt (B) is drawn the weighted plate turns or drops
turning the spindle (C) which causes bolt (A) outward to move and so close the
grip. Bolt (A) is a piece of iron or suitable metal which slides horizontally
upon projecting hits of iron which project from the back and from the front
inside the box about three fourths of an inch, and through the space between
the top and side. Below spindle (C) is another spindle (D) an arm is attached to
this spindle about an inch from the end of the arm, so causing a lever each side
the spindle, at the end of longest lever is attached a receiver, at the end of
shortest lever a spring is attached to balance them. One inch from spindle (D)
on the long lever, is an hinged bolt (B) projecting upwards and passing through
a hole in one of the bits of iron which forms the slide for bolt (A) and also
passes into a hole in bolt (A). By dropping a penny through the slot and into
the receiver the long arm will drop and so draw bolt (B) when bolt (B) is out
of bolt (A) the weighted plate in front of box will turn or drop and so will move
bolt (A) pushing it outward until it touches the other side of grip. When

page_text: the weighted plate has turned, bolt (B) rises again into another hole in bolt (A)
the penny having dropped out of the receiver. Attached to bolt (B) just
above the hinge and projecting towards the front is a piece of flat iron. When
taking out the cycle the key is put through the keyhole in the front of box you
then turn the key which will push down the flat iron and bolt (13) will be drawn 5
the weighted plate is then turned back which will cause the bolt (A) to move
inward. When locking a cycle you put the cycle between the grips then put
the penny in the slot when the front of cycle frame becomes locked.

PETER TAYLOR, 89, Bostock Street, Warrington, Furniture Dealer, 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:
i
An iron box or boxes attached to ironwork to form a stand, the iron forming
the part of stand to which the box is attached is shaped to form the back and one
side of grip, and bolt (A) forms the front and remainder of grip. Bolt (A)
slides horizontally till it meets the other part of grip.
In
To protect the cycles from being scratched or otherwise damaged by the grip,
indiarubber is used, the same being attached and projecting from the grip inward,
so keeping the ironwork of grip from coming in contact with the cycle (Sheet
No. 1 Fig. 1) the front of the box referred to is in two parts (Sheet No. 1
letters a and b), the top is fastened by screws or bolts, the bottom part is made
secure by a lock. On the right side in the upper part of front of the box is a
perpendicular slot (Sheet No. 1 letter C), large enough for a penny to pass
through, at the top of right side of box is a space (Sheet No. 1 letter d) to
allow bolt (Sheet No. 1 letter A) to slide through, forward, and backward.
side of box is a spindle (Sheet No. 1 letter F) which works in a hole, in the
back of the box, and in a hole which it passes through in the front of the box,
the spindle being flanged to prevent it from coming through more than is
necessary, attached to that part of spindle which has passed through the hole in
the front of the box, is a plate half-circle in shape (Sheet No. 1 letter G), in this
plate there is an arc shaped hollow (Sheet No. 1 letter H) that allows the plate
as it turns to pass over the handle of a key, the edge of the hollow (Sheet No. 1
letter H) touches the side of the handle of a key, the handle of the key before
being touched by the plate would be horizontal, but afterwards perpendicular.
On the right side of the plate is a handle (Sheet No. 1 letter f) that acts as
weight, and causes it to drop or turn. Attached to spindle (F) and projecting
upward is an arm or carrier (Sheet No. 1 letter J) that works between two
pieces of iron that projects downwards (Sheet 1 letters K and L) from the bolt
(lettered A) also attached to spindle (F) is another arm that projects down-
wards (Sheet No. 1 letter M) underneath the receiver (Sheet No. 1 letter N).
Bolt (lettered A) is a piece of iron or suitable metal that slides horizontally upon
projecting pieces of iron that projects from the back and front of inside of box,
and the end is so shaped to correspond with the other part of grip, this bolt also
contains two holes, in such a position that corresponds with the working of
bolt, (lettered P Sheet No. 1) also bolt (A) has two pieces of iron projecting

page_text: downwards (Sheet No. 1 lettered K and L). Spindle (Sheet No. 1 lettered Q) is
placed to the left and a little lower then spindle (lettered F), attached to spindle
(lettered Q) is a piece of iron, that is divided by spindle (Q), into two levers, one
long, (Sheet No. 1 letter R) and one short lever. (Sheet No. 1 letter S) at the
end of the long lever a receiver is formed (letter N), the same being fork shape.
at the end of the short lever a spring is attached to balance the receiver, the
other end of the spring is secured to a projection from the box (Sheet No. 1
letter T). About an inch from spindle Q and on the long lever is an hingel
bolt (P) projecting upwards, and passes through a hole in the piece of iron that
projects from the front of box, (part of which is seen Sheet No. 1 letter U) that
forms part of the slide for bolt (A), and also passes into a hole in bolt
(lettered (A), upon bolt (P) and about an inch from the hinge projecting towards
the front of the box a little below the key hole is a piece of iron shaped (Sheet
No. 1 letter V). By attaching over the keyhole inside of the box a cover the
lock will be more secure (Sheet No. 1 letter D Fig. 2) represents the key that
is used for locking and unlocking the cycles in the cycle stand. When using
the stand place the front of cycle frame between the grips (Sheet No. 1 letter W
Fig. 1), then slightly raise the halfround plate (lettered G) by the handle
(lettered f), the slot is then seen, (lettered C) then drop a penny through the
slot. the penny is guided upon the receiver (Sheet letter N) the prongs of
which are immediately beneath the guide, (Sheet No. 1 letter X Fig. 1) by letting
the halfround plate drop, or turn, the arm that projects downwards from spindle
lettered (F Sheet 1 Fig. 1) allows the penny to press down the receiver, so depress-
ing bolt (lettered 1') the same before being depressed would be locking bolt
(lettered A and causing the grips to remain open, immediately bolt (P) is
depressed out of the hole in bolt (A) the arm that projects upward on spindle F
comes in contact with the forward nib (lettered K) on bolt (A) so pushing bolt A
outward and closing the grip, the penny then drops from the receiver, allowing
bolt (P) to rise into the other hole in bolt (A) and so locking the grip when
closed. The halfround plate is then clear of the key allowing the key to be
withdrawn from the stand or box. When removing a cycle from the stand insert
the key, giving the same a quarter turn in the manner or way you would an
ordinary door key, towards the right, the right side being that part of box to
which the grip is attached, the left side of box is that part which is lettered (G),
the turning of the key depresses bolt (P) by means of the piece of iron attached
to holt (1) leave the key in that position, lift up the halfround plate, by this
means pushing bolt (A) inward by the arm lettered (J) Sheet No. 1) coming in
contact with the nib (lettered (L) on bolt (A), and turning and covering the key,
the turning of the key being done by the edge of the hollow in the halfround
plate touching the handle of the key, the edge of hollow which touches the key
is (lettered B) when key is turned bolt (1) is allowed to rise again into the hole
in bolt (A), so locking the grip open.
The following letters represents these parts. (A) is a bolt which forms part
of the grip. (b) is the bottom part of front of the box. (C) is the slot. (d) is
the space that the bolt lettered A slides through. (E) is the door inside of
lamp box. (F) is a spindle. (G) is the halfround plate. (H) is the hollow in
the plate. () is an arm attached to spindle F and projecting upwards. (K) is
a nib projecting downwards from the bolt lettered A. (L) is also a nib pro-
jecting downward from bolt lettered A. (M) is an arm projecting downwards
from spindle F. (N) is the receiver. (0) is one part of grip. (P) is a bolt
which, through a projection from the front of box passes, also passes into a hole
in the holt lettered A and locks the same. (Q) is a spindle. (R) is the long
lever. (S) is the short lever. (T) is a projection to which the spring is attached.
(U) is part of the piece of iron projecting from the front of the box and
which the bolt lettered P passes through. (V) is a piece of iron which projects
towards the front of the box from the bolt lettered land which is depressed by
the turning of the key. (W) is between the grip where part of front of cycle

page_text: frame is placed. (X) is the guide which the penny drops through on to the
prongs of the receiver. (Y) is the cross bar of stand. (Z) is the lamp box. (B) is
the edge of hollow which turns the key. (G) is showing the left side of box.
Fig. 2 Sheet 1 letter (1) represents the key used for locking and unlocking the
cycles in the stand. Letter (a) is top part of box front. Sheet No. 2 is a plan
view of apparatus. The letters on Sheet 2 are the same as Sheet 1.
Upon the crossbar of the stand (Sheet No. 1 letter Y) and immediately behind
the grip can be attached a box (Sheet No. 1 letter Z) for the protection of the cycle
lamp and accessories, this box is divided into two sections by a door (Sheet No. 1
letter E) that swings on a hinge from the top the front section being for the
lamp, the rear section section being used for other accessories.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. I claim bolt (lettered A) also the other part of grip (lettered 0).
2. The halfround plate with arc shaped hollow and handle complete.
3. Spindle (lettered F) with the arms connected there to.
4. Spindle (lettered Q) the two levers (lettered R and S) bolt (lettered P) with
the piece of iron (lettered V) projecting therefrom, the receiver (lettered N) and
spring connected thereto.
5. The box with the here before claimed mechanism connected there with.
