We, EDMUND DELLIT and HUGO DELLIT, trading as J. F. & Edmund Dellit,
of Klein-Schmalkalden, in the Empire of Germany, Hardware Manufacturers, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to clips for securing bells and other accessories to the
handle-bars or other parts of cycles, and has for its object to provide an improved
clip which is applicable to bars of different diameters.
Our improved clip comprises a V-shaped piece, to which the arm for carrying
the bell or other accessory is secured, and a bar, which is hinged to one side of the
V-piece, and, with its free end passes through a slot in the other side of the said
V-piece. The free end of the said bar is also screw-threaded and carries a nut by
means of which the said bar may be secured in any position in the slot, that is to
say, in a position nearer to or further from the apex of the V-piece according to
the size of the bar to which the clip is to be applied.
The said hinged-bar is preferably made of a curved shape so as to bear upon a
considerable part of the surface of the bar to which the clip is applied.
