UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
RANDOLPH HAYDEN, OF HADDAM, CONNECTICUT.
BICYCLE-RACK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letterslatent No. 627,751, dated June 27, 1899.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RANDOLPH HAYDEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Haddam, in the county of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bicycle-Racks, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a convenient, compact, rigid, and strong bicycle-rack that occupies only a small space when in use and in which the legs are frictionally held when spread or closed. WVhen spread, the rack is in condition for use, and when closed is compact and flat for transportation or for placing in a closet or out-of-the-way location or for carrying about.
In carrying out my invention I provide two pairs of round-rod legs, each leg having a curved or arciform upper end, and two headblocks at the ends of a cross-bar, the headblocks being in halves, with internal annular grooves opening out to receive the curved ends of the legs. ward-projecting division-wires, and sliding brackets are adj ustably connected to the legs and carry notched cross-rails, which receive the lower parts of the cycle-wheels when placed in the rack between the division-wires.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective illustrating my bicycle-rack. Fig. 2 is a partial elevation and section. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the upper end with the outer part of the head-block removed; and Fig. 4 is a section at x at, Fig. 2. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are in larger size than Fig. 1. I
a b and c d represent the pairs of round-rod legs. These are curved or made arciform at their upper ends at a, b, and d, the upper end.
of the leg 0 not appearing. The head-blocks e e and ff are composed of pairs of similar interlocking disks with internal annular grooves 2 and central openings. The crossbar it is made with reduced ends to pass through the pairs ofhead-blocks and threaded for the end nuts 3 4. The curved upper ends of the legs are received between the headblocks and are clamped in the annular grooves. The cross-bar h is provided with downwardprojecting division-wires 2', preferably doubled or of elongated U shape. Brackets kl m n have tubular portions through which the round-rod legs pass, and they are movable The cross-bar carries down- Application filed July 7, 1898. Serial No. 685,319. (No model.)
thereon and are clamped by bolts 5. These brackets receive the ends of the notched wooden cross-rails o a", hold thereto by the screws 6. The notches come in line with the spaces between the division-wires i, and the location of the rails 0 r is governed by the diameter of the cycle-wheels, said wheels being freely received in the notches and between the wires and beneath the cross-bar. The
arciform ends of the round-rod legs received 7 between the parts of the head-blocks and clamped by the nuts 3 4 are held with sufficient force or friction that when spread or closed they will maintain their position and are changed from one position to the other readily, but only by force.
This rack is simple and inexpensive, yet convenient and satisfactory for the use contemplated, and when not in use it'is quickly closed and can be set aside in a convenient or out-of-the-way place. i
I claim as my invention 1. A bicycle-rack having a pair of legs at each side, head-blocks in pairs receiving and connecting the upper ends of the legs in each pair of legs and holding the same frietionally, a cross-bar extending from the head-blocks of one pair of legs to those of the other and division-wires extending downward from the cross-bar, notched cross-rails between the lower ends of the legs and brackets for connecting said cross-rails to the legs and adjustably supporting the same, substantially as set forth.
2. A bicycle-rack having two pairs of legs each leg having a curved or arciform upper end, head-blocks in pairs with internal annular grooves to receive the segmental ends of the legs placed therein and opposite to each other, a cross-bar with reduced ends passing through the head-blocks and having clamping-nuts on the ends for applying friction by the head-blocks to the pairs of legs, and downward division-wires below the cross-bar and.
notched crossrails between the legs, and brackets for connecting said cross-rails to the legs and adjustably supporting the same, substantially as set forth.
3. A bicycle-rack having two pairs of legs,
each leg having a curved or areiform upper end, head-blocks in pairs with internal annular grooves to receive the segmental ends 0f the legs placed therein and opposite to each other, a cross-bar with reduced ends passing through the head-blocks and having clamping-nnts on the ends for applying friction by ortions through which the legs pass,and bolts to for clamping the brackets to the legs, substantially as set forth.
Signed by me this 17th day of March, A. D.
RANDOLPH HAYDEN.
