CANOPY FOR BlCYCLESa sPEcIrrcA'rIoNfonnin part of Letters Patent No. 522,063, dated June 26,1894.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be itknown that I, LANCASTER Z. JENKINS, acitizen of the United States, residing in the cltyand county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have inventeda new and useful Improvements in Canopies for Bicycles, &c., which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.
My invention consists of a canopy for a bicycle, &c., which is adapted to be easily se-v cured to the bicycle, &c., the angle of the same may be varied, and it does not present a blunt edge to the wind, the covering mayv be properly stretched and raised above the head of the rider and firmly held in open position, all as will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims. 7
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a canopy embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents an enlarged view of a fastening device for the canopy. Fig. 3 represents an enlarged view of the pivoted part of the canopy stick and collar therefor. Fig. 4 represents a side view of the canopy in raised position. Fig. 5 represents a perspective view of the device when closed and detached from the bicycle. Fig. 6 represents a plan view of the frame of the canopy. Fig. 7 represents a section on line 00, 00, Fig. 6.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
Referring to the drawings: A designates the head ofa bicycle, and B the handle bars thereof.
O designates the stick of a canopy which has the joint D therein. Moving on said stick is the collar E, which is adapted to surround said joint when it is desired to retain the canopy in a horizontal position. A sleeve F moves on said stick having stretchers pivoted thereto. A thumb screw is also provided, whereby the sleeve may be fixed at any desired place. Secured to the stick 0 is the center rod G of the canopy. Moving on said rod G are the sleeves H and J, which have the ends of ribs pivoted thereto, the other ends of said ribs being pivoted'to the frame K of the canopy, whereby to open said canopy the sleeves are placed at the desired spot, and then clamped by thumb screws or other suitable means provided for the purpose.
Application filed April 26, 1893. Serial No. 471.863. (No modelo It will be noticed that the frame K is flaring from front to rear, and that the sleeve J is in front of the stick C,and the sleeve His rearward of the same. The ribs attached to the sleeve J and apex portion of the frame K are short, while the ribs attached to the sleeve Hare long, 'so that the flaring form of the frame is preserved and a portion of the canopy proper is in front of the rider.
Passing around and removably secured to the head of the bicycle is a clip L, to which is pivoted a bar M, whose other end is pivoted to a clip N, the latter being removably secured to the stick 0 of the canopy.
A double clip P is secured to the handle bars B of the bicyle, the arms P of which'are pivoted to a clip Q which is attached to the stick 0 of the canopy, whereby said canopy is secured to the bicycle. By loosening the set screws of the clips N and Q, the angle of the canopy may be varied as desired, whereby the rider may be protected from the rays of the sun, or from rain, he.
The canopy may be made very ornamental and attactive in appearance. When closed it will occupy but a small space, and because of the joint D, it may be folded parallel with the stick 0. A bar R is secured to the stick 0, above the frame K, the same giving the hump appearance to the canopy, and raising the portion of the same which is directly over the head of the rider, so asto remove the same'farther from him, the sides of the canopy not needing to be as elevated as the said portion.
It will be noticedthat by the construction shown the canopy when up and open does not catch the wind and naturally stop the speed of the rider.
The canopy is wedge-shape, and the stick or standard engages with the frame intermediate of the ends thereof, the flaring form beginning in front of the stick, so that while the rider is shaded overhead and rearward,
he is also shaded from the front, owing to part of the canopy which projects forward of I the stick, said parts being adapted to be stretched and loosened independent of the rear part, it being noticed that both stretching devices are operative independent of the raising and lowering device, and the jointed stick 0 permits the angular adjustment of ICC the canopy by the proper adjustment of the sleeve or runner F, thus producing a practical and efficient canopy.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A canopy for bicycle riders consisting of a frame with covering, a center rod with sleeves thereon having ribs pivoted thereto and to the said frame, a stick having a folding upper end to which said center rod is secured, and means for attaching said stick to the handle bars and head of a bicycle, said parts being combined substantially as described.
2. A canopy for bicycle riders consisting of a frame with covering, a center rod with sleeves thereon having ribs pivoted thereto and to the said frame, the ribs pivoted to one sleeve being shorter than those pivoted to the other sleeve a stick having a folding upper end to which said rod is secured, and means for adj ustably securing said stick to the handle bars and head of a bicycle, said parts being combined substantially as described.
3. A canopy for bicycle riders, consisting of a wedge-shaped frame with coverin g, a center stick with sleeves thereon having ribs pivoted thereto and to said frame, a stick with folding upper end having a clamping sleeve, said center rod being secured to said stick above said frame, and means for adjustably securing said stick to the handle bars and head of a bicycle, said parts being combined substantially as described.
4. A canopy for a bicycle formed of a jointed stick adapted to be secured to a suitable part of the same, a collar on said stick, a rod secured to said stick, and a frame fastened to said rod, sleeves on said rodwith means for securing the same at any desired point ribs connecting said sleeves and frame, a bar secured to the stick above the rod, a covering for the frame and rod, and suitable means for securing the device to a bicycle, substantially as described.
5. A jointed stick, ahorizontal rod connected therewith, a flaring frame partly in front and partly in rear of said stick, a runner on said stick and stretchers connected with said runner and frame, in combination with the sliding sleeve H on said rod rearward of said stick, and the sliding sleeve J forward of said stick, and the long and short ribs connecting the sleeves with the rear and front portions of said frame, substantially as described.
6. A jointed stick,ahorizontal rod connected therewith, a flaring framepartly in front and partly in rear of said stick, a runner on said stick and stretchers connected with said runner and frame, in combination with the sliding sleeve H on said rod rearward of said stick, and the sliding sleeve J forward of said stick, the long and short ribs connecting the sleeves with the rear and front portions of said frame, and the elevating rod R on the stick above the central rod G, substantially as described. it
