Improvements in Bicycle Handles.
I, THOMAS FREDERICK HOLLOWAY, of the Holloway Cycle Co., Cycle
Manufacturers, 26 George Street, in the City of Glasgow, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object the provision of improved bicycle handles to be
used in substitution for the ordinary tubular rubber, cork or felt handles secured
on the ends of the handle bar; and it consists in constructing such handles either
wholly, or with an outer covering only, of woollen or cotton corduroy or moleskin
in order that whilst a suitable grip is ensured perspiration from the hands may be
readily absorbed. By preference woollen corduroy is employed and is secured by
glueing or cementing around a padded or other sleeve adapted to fit over the end
of the handle bar, the fluting of the corduroy being outside and being run either
longitudinally or circumferentially of the handle. The inner end of the handle is
or may be bound to the inner sleeve by means of a suitable ferrule having inside
catches adapted to clasp the parts together, and the outer end is covered by a cap
attached in any of the usual ways.
Dated this 6th day of February 1896.
