  • Patent number: 5388735
    Abstract: A basket is held securely and removably on a velocipede, such as between the wheels of a tricycle, by means of a basket support. A base of the support is affixed atop the velocipede frame. The basket has a pair of apertures in its fore wall and a pair of apertures in its aft wall. Two pairs of hooks extend upward from the base to engage the apertures, to secure the basket when the basket is flat on the support. The aft pair of hooks are fixed and their aperture-engaging portions are arranged to engage their apertures while the basket is tilted up at its forward edge. The fore pair of hooks are arranged to springably snap into their apertures when the basket is lowered so that the bottom of the basket is flat on the support. The basket has a pair of handles pivotally attached to the basket top rim. These handles may be removably engaged by the support to further hold the basket in place.

  • Patent number: 5201538
    Abstract: A cycle in the form of a bicycle or a tricycle has an elongate horizontal main frame member with a rear wheel support assembly at the rear end and a front wheel support assembly at the front end. The front wheel support assembly supports the steerable front wheel at the lower end of a slanted steering column and handlebars at the top end slanted toward the rear. A seat and seat back are supported on a rearward-slanting seat standard that is clamped onto the horizontal frame member and may be adjusted fore and aft to provide comfortable access to the pedals mounted on the front end of the horizontal frame member. The seat remains at the same elevation regardless of the adjustment and the pedals are forward and below the hips of the rider. Force on the pedals forces the back against the backrest for enhanced leverage.
