Abstract
Abstract A bicycle locking harness comprising three elongate segments of hardened steel to define, when in locking position, a substantially triangular configuration with the base segment of the triangle encircling the front and rear wheel rims of a bicycle and with the sides of the triangle converging at their outer ends to encircle a primary anchor support. In one embodiment, the three segments are hingedly connected together to permit the harness to be foldably compacted for convenience of storage and carrying.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A device for locking a spoke-wheeled vehicle to a stationary support comprising three legs of hardened steel bar stock, two of said legs being joined to the third leg at opposite ends of the latter to form a substantially split triangle shaped device, the said third leg forming the base of the triangle and the other two legs forming the sides thereof with the split occurring between the outer adjacent ends of the latter, means for interlocking the outer ends of the side legs together to form a closed triangle locking mechanism, the base leg being of sufficient length to span the shortest distance between the spoked front and rear wheel rims of a vehicle, and the side legs being of sufficient length to project through the spoked front and rear wheels and embrace a stationary support, said substantially split triangle being formed from one continuous length of bar stock bent in two locations to form the triangular configuration.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
159 words
A device for locking a spoke-wheeled vehicle to a stationary support comprising three legs of hardened steel bar stock, two of said legs being joined to the third leg at opposite ends of the latter to form a substantially split triangle shaped device, the said third leg forming the base of the triangle and the other two legs forming the sides thereof with the split occurring between the outer adjacent ends of the latter, means for interlocking the outer ends of the side legs together to form a closed triangle locking mechanism, the base leg being of sufficient length to span the shortest distance between the spoked front and rear wheel rims of a vehicle, and the side legs being of sufficient length to project through the spoked front and rear wheels and embrace a stationary support, said substantially split triangle being formed from one continuous length of bar stock bent in two locations to form the triangular configuration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
79 words
A device according to claim 1 and wherein said split triangle device is shaped and constructed to be detachably mounted inside the triangular frame of a man''s bicycle with all three legs confined substantially within the vertical plane of said bicycle frame, and wherein said means for interlocking the outer ends of the side legs together are disposed substantially vertically directly below the seat of the bicycle when the said triangular locking device is mounted within said bicycle frame.
