1". A. MARTIN LUGGAGE CARRIER FOR BIGYGLES.
Patented Mar. 12, .1895.
INVENTOR:
WITNESSES:
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRED A. MARTIN, OF SYRACUSE, YORK LU GGAG E-CARRIER FOR BICYCLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 535,385, dated March 12, 1895. 7
Application filed February 24, 1894. Serial No. 501.327- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRED A. MARTIN, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Luggage-Carriers for Bicycles, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to the class of devices which are attached to bicycles and designed chiefly for carrying wearing apparels or other luggage; and the object of the invention is to provide a luggage-carrier which shall be capable of being folded into a small compass either on the bicycle or detached therefrom and carried in the pocket of the rider of the bicycle, and shall be readily placed in a distended position on the bicycle and form a strong and convenient recepta cle for the luggage to be carried; and to that end the invention consists in the improved construction and combination of parts as hereinafter fully described and setforth in the claims.
In the annexed drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved luggage-carrier placed on a bicycle-frame and adjusted for receiving the luggage to be carried. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the same in its folded condition. Fig. 3 is an enlarged horizontal transverse section on line X-- X in Fig. 1. Fig. 4; is an enlarged perspective view of the plate to which the folding frame of the luggage-carrier is pivoted, and Fig. 5 is an enlarged inner side view of the connection of one of the long members of the folding frame to the splicing plate, and Figs. 6 and 7 are enlarged plan views of the knuckle joints at the corners of said frame.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
My said luggage-carrier consists essentially of a folding-frame supported on a suitable member of the bicycle-frame, preferably to the front post, a suitable lock sustaining said folded frame in its distended position, and
a folding receptacle supported on the latter frame. This folding frame I preferably form retangular and of any suitable metallic bars. Each of the two longest oppositely disposed members OO- of said frame, I .form with a knuckle-joint -aaat the center of its length which joints allow thetwo sections of the member to swing in a verticalv plane within an arc of ninety degrees beneath a horizontal plane, said movement being limited by the abutting shoulders b-- b above the pivots of the members. I do not limit myself to any specific construction of said knuckle-joints as it is obvious to most any machinist that said joints can be made catch plate dattached at one end to the plate P and having in its free end a notch d-- in which to receive the ends of the pivoted sections and thus embrace the member -C- at its joint.
The shorter members -C"C--.of the aforesaid folding frame are hinged to the members -O- and C at right angles to the central joints of the latter by knucklejoints eewhich permit the-members to fold closely side by side, and are preferably provided with abutting shoulders -.-e' outside of the pivots as, more clearly shown in Figs. 6 and 7 of the drawings.
The described frame can be folded compactly by releasing it from the lock or spring catch .-d-- then turning down the pivoted sections of the members ,G and -C' so as to cause the end members -O"-C"-- to lie closely side by side and then folding over ggformed with vertical flanges g g' and .perforated for the reception of the clamping screw -h.
In attaching the aforesaid folding frame to the bicycle, the plate P is inserted between the jaws -g-g and clamped therein by tightening the screw h-, as best seen in Fig. 3 of the drawings.
--D represents a folding receptacle which is hung on the aforesaid folding frame. Said receptacle may be formed of suitable textile fabric, preferably of the. form of a net as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.
What I claim as my invention is- 1. The combination, with a bicycle frame of a luggage carrier consisting of oppositely disposed members jointed at their respective centers to fold in a vertical plane and connected at one of said members to the aforesaid frame, and companion members jointed to the ends of the aforesaid members at right angles to their central joints, and a lock sustaining said frame in its horizontally distended position as set forth.
2. The combination, with a bicycle frame, of a plate secured to said frame, a rectangular frame jointed at or near its corners and in the center of its, longest members and pivoted at the central joint of one of the latter members to the aforesaid plate a lock sustaining said frame in its horizontally distended position, and a folding receptacle supported on said frame as set forth.
3. In combination with a bicycle frame, of 'a plate secured to said frame, a folding rectangular frame having in the centers of its two longest members vertically movable knuckle-jointswith abutting shoulders above the pivots, and horizontally movable knucklejoints at or near the corners of the frame with abutting shoulders outside of the pivots, a lock'snstaining said frame in its horizontally distended position, and a folding receptacle hung on said frame as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 21st day of February, 1894.
J. J. LAASS, C. L. BENDIXON.
