Spoke mountable bracket assembly

Claim 1

A display device for mounting on a cycle-type vehicle spoke member comprising a bracket member and a generally flattened body member, A. said bracket member comprising: 1. a rivet-like means having a longitudinally slotted shank, said shank having a generally uniform cross-sectional configuration, said slot being capable of receiving therein a spoke member, said rivet-like means being formed of rigid but deformable material, 2. a sleeve for mounting circumferentially about said slotted shank and adapted to resist radially outward movements thereof, 3. a screw having a tapered shank which is adapted to engage the outer end portion of said slot of said slotted shank, the length of said tapered shank being less than the length of said slotted shank, the circumferential outer wall of said slotted shank being radially expanded against the inside wall of said sleeve when said screw is turned into said slot and said sleeve is engaged about said slotted shank, B. said flattened body member having: 1. an aperture transversely defined therein whose size permits said slotted shank to extend therethrough and further permits the head of said rivet-like means to abut against the aperture adjacent portions of said flattened body member, and 2. a central portion adapted for holding a display panel, C. the interrelationship between the length of each of said shanks, the longitudinal length of said sleeve and the thickness of said adjacent portions of said flattened body member being such that when said bracket member and said flattened body member are engaged with a said spoke member between said flattened body member engaged with a said spoke member between said flattened body member and said rivet head, the length of said slotted shank is slightly less than the combined thicknesses of said spoke, said sleeve longitudinal length and said flattened body member.
