Improvements in Stands for Cycles
Year: 1899

page_text: JOHN BATEY, Mechanical Engineer, Beechwood, Ravenhurst Road, Harborne,
Birmingham, JAMES CARSON, C.E., Belmont, Solihul, Warwickshire, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In a stand in which the front wheel of a bicycle is raised and sustained in an
upright position a little above the ground, substantially as hereafter set forth;
in which one length of wire is bent and shaped to form a base supported by four
feet with a pair of parallel bars raised a little above the floor and wide enough
apart to receive the bottom part of the wheel to restrain it from moving and to
lift it a little above the ground. The aforesaid wire is shaped upward on each side
and bent toward the centre of base to a little beyond the fork end of bicycle
then continued upward to above the upper portion of the tyre then the wire is
shaped upward from the back feet to meet the already mentioned upward exten-
sion being secured to same by suitable clips, the whole forming a stand in which
the base is carried on four feet and the main body above the base being in the
form of two triangles with an extension above joined at the top-thereby forming
one complete stand-properly stayed and secured at the junctions to form a rigid
structure capable of supporting a bicycle in an upright position as heretofore set
forth.

Improvements in Stands for Cycles.
JOHN BATEY, Mechanical Engineer, Beechwood, Ravenhurst Road, Harborne,
Birmingham, and JAMES CARSON, C.E., Belmont, Solihul, Warwickshire, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
In a stand in which the front wheel of a bicycle is raised and sustained in an
upright position a little above the ground substantially as hereafter set forth;
in which one length of wire is bent and shaped to form a base supported by four
feet with a pair of parallel bars raised a little above the floor and wide enough
apart to receive the bottom part of the wheel to restrain it from moving and to
lift it a little above the ground the aforesaid wire is shaped upward on each side
and bent toward the centre of base to a little beyond the fork end of bicycle

shaped upward from the back feet to meet the already mentioned upward exten-
sion being secured to same by suitable clips-the whole forming a stand in which
the base is carried on four feet and the main body above the base being in the
form of two triangles with an extension above joined at the top, thereby forming
one complete stand, properly stayed and secured at the junctions to form a rigid
structure capable of supporting a bicycle in an upright position as heretofore set
forth.
The drawing in which A is a plan view-B a side view and C a back view.
Four feet 1, 2, 3, 4, parallel bars, 6, 7, upward shape on each side, 8, 9 above
tyre 10 shape upward from back feet 11, 12, clips D, shows the form of structure.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
For a bicycle stand made from one piece of wire with the junctions properly
clipped and secured by suitable clips the form and arrangement being that necessary
to form a rigid structure capable of sustaining a bicycle in an upright position
substantially as heretofore described.
