I, WILLIAM MONK WHITE, of 113, Melbourne Grove, East Dulwich, London,
S.E., Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved adjustable device or apparatus for support-
ing bicycles in a vertical position when at rest, which may be adapted to engage
with any of the lower parts of the machine, but preferably one of the pedals.
My invention consists of a standard, of tubular metal or other material, mounted
upon a suitable base or foot, and within the said standard slides vertically a rod
or tube, the position of the latter within the former being adjustable by the means
of a thumb-screw, or its equivalent passing through a boss fixed upon or formed
integrally with the upper end of the said standard, and engaging with the said
rod or tube, the upper end of the said rod or tube having rigidly or pivotally fixed
horizontally thereto a device for effecting an attachment with one of the pedals
or other part of the machine.
The said attachment may consist of a spring of tubular formation, open at its
upper surface, and adapted to automatically engage with, and grasp and hold
that part of the pedal through which the pedal pin passes. Or the said attach-
ment may consist of two semi-tubular portions hinged together, and adapted to
receive and hold between them, by the means of a thumb screw or equivalent
catch or fastening, the said tubular portion of the pedal. Or the said attach-
ment may consist of a pair of jaws, normally kept closed by the tension of a
spring, and opened or parted for attachment to the said pedal by the means of
a lever or levers, one of which may or may not be in fixed connection, with the
said adjustable rod or tube.

page_text: My invention consists of a standard A Fig. 1 of tubular metal, or other material
mounted upon a suitable base or foot, and within the said standard slides verti-
.cally a rod or tube B, the position of the latter within the former being adjust-
able by the means of a thumb screw C, or its equivalent passing through a boss
fixed upon or formed integrally with the upper end of the said standard and en-
gaging with the said rod or tube, the upper part of the said rod or tube having
rigidly or pivotably fixed horizantally thereto a device for effecting an attach-
ment with one of the pedals or other part of the machine.
The said attachment may consist of a spring D of tubular formation open at
its upper surface and adapted to automatically engage with, and grasp and hold
that part of the pedal through which the pedal pin passes. Or the said attach-
ment may consist of two semi-tubular portions hung together and adapted to
receive and hold between them by means of a thumb screw or equivalent
catch or fastening, the said tubular portion of the pedal.
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. In a cycle stand or support for a bicycle having a spring of tubular formation
open at its upper surface & adapted to automatically engage with, and grasp and
hold that part of the pedal through which the pedal pin passes.
2. In a cycle stand or support for a bicycle having two semi-tubular portions
hung together and adapted to receive and hold between them, by means of a
thumb screw or equivalent catch or fastening the said tubular portion of the
pedal.
