I CÆSAR LOUIS LAMARE of 69 Eastcheap in the City of London Inventor do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
: f
This invention relates to improvements in advertising on cycles and the object of
my invention is to provide oycles with advertising discs constructed and arranged
as hereinafter described.
In carrying out my invention I attach a disc of suitable shape and dimensions to
the shaft or axle and between the spokes of preferably the main wheel or wheels
of a cycle. Said disc bears any desired advertisement and may be either fixedly
attached to the axle or it may be attached in such a manner as to revolve relatively
slower than the said main wheel or it may be arranged by means of a weight
or other suitable means so that it will hang stationary on the axle while the wheel
is revolving.
Instead of attaching the disc on the axle between the spokes as above described
I may as an alternative attach a disc on either one or both outer sides of the said
spokes and I may also similarly attach a dise or discs to the training or other wheel
of a cycle.
By these means the advertisement on the disc or discs may be seen and read
while the cycle is travelling.

Improvements in Advertising on Cycles.
1, Cæsar Louis LAMARE, of 69 Eastcheap, London, Inventor, 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 relates to improvements in advertising on cycles, and the objeot
of my invention is to provide cycles with advertising discs constructed and arranged
as hereinafter described.
In order that my invention may be readily understood reference is made to the
accompanying drawing wherein like letters indicate corresponding parts throughout
both figures and in which :-
Figure 1, represents a sectional end view of a cycle wheel to which my invention
is applied.
Figure 2 represents an alternative manner of attaching the advertising disc.
In carrying out my invention and referring to Figure 1 in the drawing, I fix a
small disc A to about the centre of the axle B of the front wheel of a cycle, and to
said small disc I fix in any suitable manner, a comparatively large advertising
disc C. Said advertising disc C may be made of any desired material and may

otherwise. The axle B is enclosed within a split or other suitable hub D, into
which the spokes E of the wheel' are secured, and the bearings Fare preferably
ball bearings of suitable construction in order to reduce friction. On referring to
Figure 2 in the drawing, I may fix an advertising disc C on each side of the front
wheel of a cycle. Said discs, which are preferably coned to about the shape of the
wheel, although they may be of any other desired shape, may be fixed in any
desired manner so as to be effectually prevented from revolving either direct to the
axle B, or to intermediate and comparatively small.discs A A which in turn are
fixed to the axle B. Or the advertising discs C may be attached in any suitable
manner to either the inside or outside of the fork F1 F1, or these two lateral discs
may be partially joined so as to form a cover or case to the wheels.
I wish it to be understood that I do not confine the application of my invention
to the front wheel of a cycle, as an advertising disc as described may be attached
to any of the other wheels. Also I do not wish to confine myself to any particular
manner of fixing the advertising disc to the axle, so long as said disc is fixed to the
axle in such a manner as to prevent said disc from revolving and not to hang by
gravity. Said advertising discs may be perforated in any desired manner, or they
may be made of wirework or gauze, so as to allow the passage of the wind, or said
discs may be made of any suitable transparent material that would enable them to
be made luminous by one or more lights which may be placed between them, or said
discsimay be painted with luminous paint.
Instead of attaching said discs to the axle or to the fork, I, may attach them to
ouo or more false hubs with which the cycle may be provided.
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 1
claim is :-
1. In combination with a cycle, a disc or disos C fixed in any suitable manner to
the axle or axles of said cycle, for the purposes and substantially as described and
illustrated.
2. In combination with a cycle, a disc or discs C fixed in any suitable manner to
the fork or forks of said cycle, for the purposes and substantially as described.
3. In combination with a cycle, a disc or discs C fixed in any suitable manner.to
the false hub or hubs of said cycle, for the purposes and substantially as described.
