PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Stand for Cycles.
I, EDWIN WOOD, of Emwell Street, Warminster, in the County of Wiltshire,
Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
-
My invention relates to an improved stand for cycles, which consists of a metallic
standard and base, with several arms projecting from the top of the standard in
various directions. The stand supports the cycle in such a manner that all the
wheels are off the ground. The top projecting arms may be adjusted in or on the
standard by being raised or lowered to suit the height of any cycle, the adjustment
being held secure by means of a set screw or any other suitable fixing.
If preferable the projecting arms which forms the head may be jointed, or any
other portion of the standard.
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration, and that
the materials, parts and shapes, may be varied in many ways within the scope of
my invention.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION (AMENDED).
An Improved Stand for Cycles.
I, EDWIN WOOD, of Emwell Street, Warminster, in the County of Wiltshire,
Machinist, 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 an improved stand for cycles, which consists of a metallic
standard and base, with several arms projecting from the top of the standard in
various directions. The stand supports the cycle in such a manner that all the
wheels are off the ground. The top projecting arms may be adjusted in or on the
standard by being raised or lowered to suit the height of any cycle, the adjustment
being held secure by means of a set screw or any other suitable fixing.
If preferable the projecting arms which forms the head may be jointed, or any
other portion of the standard.
I attain this object by the illustrations in the accompanying drawing, in
which-
Fig. 1, is a front elevation.

page_text: Fig. 2, is a side view of the top projecting arms, this figure is broken off for
convenience.
Like letters refer to like parts throughout the views.
Preferably I construct a standard of tube and fix the same to a four-way
base f. At the top of the standard e I fix a collar d this said collar is drilled and
tapped with a female thread to receive a set screw d'. At the top I form a cross-
head a, with two curved arms covered with india rubber b, the said cross-head a is
pivoted to an upright c which is inserted in the tube e as indicated by dotted lines
in Fig. 1.
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration, and that
the materials parts and shapes may be varied in many ways within the scope of my
invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:―
1. In a stand for cycles, the combination of the two curved arms covered with
india rubber b on the cross-head a pivoted to the upright c and the collar d and set
screw d' fixed to the standard e on the base f, substantially as herein described and
according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In a stand for cycles, the combination of the parts for telescopically-adjusting
the height to suit any eyele, substantially as herein described and according to the
accompanying drawing.
