PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Clip or Holder for Carrying Umbrellas and the like on
Velocipedes.
I, ERNEST RADFORD, 26, Heslington Street, Moss Side, Manchester, Gentleman,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of an improved clip or holder for carrying umbrellas and
the like on velocipedes. In carrying out my invention I provide two parts or
sections which are pivoted together, one part being secured to a convenient part of
the machine such as the handle bar by means of a clip which may be of any con-
venient construction. The other part carries the umbrella or the like through the
medium of an adjustable rod, this adjustable rod being so arranged that the height
of the umbrella or the like may be varied. The umbrella handle is secured to the
adjustable rod by any convenient form of clip. In order to vary the angle at which
the umbrella is carried I provide a series of corresponding holes in the ends of the
sections which are pivoted together so that the angle at which the umbrella or the
like is held may be varied by locking the parts in the desired position which is
effected by means of a pin or stud which passes through corresponding apertures
at or about the pivot of said sections.

An Improved Clip or Holder for Carrying Umbrellas and the like on
Velocipedes.
I, ERNEST RADFORD, of 26, Heslington Street, Moss Side, Manchester, in the
County of Lancaster, Gentleman, 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:
This invention is designed to provide a clip or holder by which an umbrella,
sunshade or the like may, whilst open, be affixed to or carried upon a velocipede
more particularly for ladies' use.
It consists essentially of an appliance or holder constructed of two parts which are
pivoted together each provided with a clip or socket at the free ends one to engage
with the head or other part of the cycle and the other with the handle of the
umbrella (or other article) or with an adjustable rod or bracket by which the
umbrella is secured.

It will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

umbrella.

Fig. 6. Side elevation of another modified form of joint.
Fig. 7. Sectional plan of same.
Fig. 8. Side elevation of a modified form of holder.
Fig. 9. Plan of same.
The holder or appliance is constructed of two parts A and B pivoted together
by means of a bolt or pin E so that they can be adjusted relatively to one another
in 'a vertical plane. The part A is provided with a socket C at one end by which
it can be firmly clamped to the head or other part of the machine and the part B is
also provided with a socket b to carry the umbrella.
In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 to 3 an adjustable rod D is placed in the
socket 6 whereby the umbrella can be raised or its height varied, the rod being
provided at its upper end with a socket d to receive and grip the handle of the
umbrella.
In the form shown in Figs. 8 and 9 the adjustable rod D may be dispensed with
and the umbrella handle inserted in the socket b.
The swivelling joint between the two parts A and B permits of the umbrella
being placed at any angle. This joint may be tightened by a bolt E and nut Fas
in Figs. 3, 5 and 9, a spring washer G being preferably placed between the parts
or the joint may be formed as in Figs. 6 and 7 with a rivet E¹ a series of holes h
being provided in one of the parts and-one, two or more corresponding holes in
the other part to receive a pin or screw H to hold the two parts firmly at the
desired angle or inclination. By either arrangement the angle at which the
umbrella is carried may be varied as may be found desirable.
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. A clip or holder for carrying umbrellas or the like upon velocipedes con-
structed of two parts pivoted together each provided with a socket at the ends the
one to grip the velocipede and the other the umbrella or an adjustable rod to which
the umbrella is secured substantially as described.
2. A clip or holder by which umbrellas. or the like may whilst open be affixed
to or carried upon velocipedes constructed substantially as described and shown
with reference to either of the annexed drawings.
