I, JOSEPH PARKIN HOWE of Dongola Road, Plaistow, London, E. Engineer,.
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention is designed to secure saddles or seats of cycles and the like more
safely in position, and to prevent same from twisting or turning when in use. The
invention refers to saddles or seats which are attached to cycles and the like by
means of fitting them to L or T pins or pillars.
For this purpose a clip, eye or stud is secured by screws, brazing or other
means to any part of the frame of the cycle or the like at a point beneath the
saddle or seat. From this clip two or more rods, straps, chains or the like are
taken one or more to each side of the saddle or seat, where they are secured by

the like.
I, JOSEPH PARKIN HOWE of Dongola Road, Plaistow, London E. Engineer,
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 secure saddles or seats of cycles and the like more
safely in position, and to prevent same from twisting or turning when in use.
The invention refers to saddles or seats which are attached to cycles and the-
like by means of fitting them to L or T pins or pillars.
For this purpose a clip, eye or stud is secured by screws, brazing or other means
to any suitable part of the frame of the cycle or the like at a point beneath the-
saddle or seat. From this clip two or more rods, straps, chains or the like are
taken one or more to each side of the saddle or seat, where they are secured by
any simple means. The rods, straps, chains or the like are preferably made
adjustable in length.
I will now describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
in which:
Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of a bicycle saddle, fitted on the upper end of the:

page_text: "saddle pillar" of the frame, said saddle being prevented from shifting, by means
of the chain attachment below.
Fig. 2 shows a front elevation of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 shows a plan view of a solid form of sleeve bracket which is shown in
Figs. 1 and 2, as fixed upon the saddle pillar or back tube of the cycle frame; but
it may be attached to any other part of the frame if more convenient. This form
of sleeve bracket is secured by brazing or otherwise.
Fig. 4 shows a half sectional elevation of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5, shows a divided form of sleeve bracket to allow of attachment to a
velocipede after same is finished. It can be fastened to any suitable part of the
frame of the machine.
a, is the saddle, and 6 is the L pin of the saddle pillar, which is preferably
turned forward as shown.
c is a shackle, eye pin or similar fastening, rivetted or otherwise attached to the
frame of the seat or saddle, and depending therefrom, to which a cord d, chain,
wire or similar fastening is attached, said cord or the like, being attached at the
other end to a similar shackle or eye pin e, pivoted to a sleeve bracket f brazed or
otherwise attached to any convenient part of the frame.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In a bicycle, tricycle or velocipede of any kind an attachment for preventing
oscillation of saddle consisting of a combination of chains, straps, cords or springs
extending from hooks, rings; shackles or other suitable fittings attached to sides
of saddle, to similar or suitable fittings attached to back stay tube, or other
suitable part of a bicycle or tricycle, by means of annular clips or rings.temporarily
or permanently attached thereto, as herein described and set forth.
2. In a bicycle, tricycle or velocipede of any kind the attachment described in
Claim One, with or without a similar attachment for the front or back of the
saddle, as herein described and set forth.
