Improvements in or relating to Handles for Cycles.
I, AUGUSTUS ADAMS, of the Firm of Swan & Adams, of Canada Works, Regent
Place, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object the provision of a convenient receptacle within
a cycle handle for containing cigarettes, matches, pins, string, wire, buttons,
sewing or stitching material, and other small articles, in such a manner as to
cause no inconvenience in the attachment and ordinary use of the handle and
without affecting its outward appearance.
In the application of my invention, I make the metallic or other ferrule on
the outer end of the handle with an open end and provide an internal socket there-
with into which I fit my requisite case or receptacle. Such case or receptacle is
of cylindrical form, its outer end being closed by a suitable cap formed or secured
with the case whilst its inner end I preferably close with a cork or with such
a material as will serve as a pin cushion.
On the outer side of the cap I secure a ring or other fitting whereby the case
can be readily inserted or withdrawn from its position, or I arrange a locking or
securing device for the receptacle in order that it shall be opened only by means
of a specially made key.
The fitting of the case or receptacle within the handle causes no obstruction
to the cementing or attachment of the handle to the tubular handle bar of the
machine, and the external appearance of the handle itself is not affected by
the case.
Improvements in or relating to Handles for Cycles.
I, AUGUSTUS ADAMS, of the Firm of Swan & Adams, of Canada Works, Regent
Place, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particu-
larly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
-
This invention has for its object the provision of a convenient receptacle within

page_text: a cycle handle for containing cigarettes, matches, pins, string, wire, buttons,
sewing or stitching material, or other small articles in such a manner as to
cause no inconvenience in the attachment and ordinary use of the handle and
without effecting its outward appearance.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter referred
to.-
Figure 1 is a front elevation and Figure 2 a sectional elevation of a cycle handle
fitted with my requisite case or receptacle, whilst Figure 3 is a sectional view
of the case detached from the handle, and containing sundry requisites. Figure 4
is.a front elevation and Figure 5 an end view of the combined double socket and
ferrule before its attachment with the handle.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parts.
In the application of my invention I make the metallic ferrule A on the outer
end of the handle B with an open end and form with it an internal socket body A¹
into which I fit the requisite case or receptacle C. Such case or receptacle consists
of a metallic tube or cylinder, its outer end being closed by a suitable cap C¹
formed or secured with the case whilst its inner end I close with a tubular tele-
scopic stopper fitted with a cork C³ or with such material as will serve as a
pincushion.
On the outer side of the cap C' I secure a ring C whereby the case can be
readily inserted or withdrawn from its position.
The fitting of the case or receptacle within the handle causes no obstruction to
the cementing or attachment of the handle B to the tubular handle bar D) of the
machine, and the external appearance of the handle itself is not affected by
the case.
The end of the tubular handle bar fits tightly within the annular space between
the exterior surface of the socket body A₁ and the interior surface of the handle,
and I thus obtain an attachment surface for the handle B both on the exterior
and interior of the tubular handle bar D, in addition to a simple and effective
gripping socket for the cylindrical case or receptacle. The socket body A¹ is split
as shown at Figures 4 and 5 to cause it to grip upon the case or receptacle C.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. The combination comprising a cycle handle as B a tubular handle bar D
and a case or receptacle C, the said case consisting of a cylinder closed at one
end by a cap C and at the opposite end by a tubular telescopic stopper C² fitted
with a cork C³, substantially as described and as illustrated.
2. The combination with a cycle handle and tubular handle bar of a combined
double socket and open ended ferrule substantially as and for the purposes
described and as illustrated.
