Abstract
Abstract A stabilizing assembly is provided for bicycles having a collar mounted on a bicycle frame and a pair of clamps, each of which is on a separate branch of a front wheel steering means, the clamps each being connected to the collar by an adjustable tensed spring, which inhibits excess turning and jackknifing of the front wheel of the bicycle.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
A cycle steering stabilizer comprising a column clamp mountable on a fixed portion of the steering column frame of said cycle, said clamp having a pair of arms which extend rearwardly with respect to the long axis of said cycle on each side thereof, a pair of fork clamps, each clamp mountable on a separate branch of the front wheel steering means of said cycle and tensable resilient means connecting respectively each fork clamp with its opposed arm of said column clamp to restrain excessive turning and jackknifing of the steering wheel of said cycle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
A cycle steering stabilizer comprising a column clamp mountable on a fixed portion of the steering column frame of said cycle, said clamp having a pair of arms which extend rearwardly with respect to the long axis of said cycle on each side thereof, a pair of fork clamps, each clamp mountable on a separate branch of the front wheel steering means of said cycle and tensable resilient means connecting respectively each fork clamp with its opposed arm of said column clamp to restrain excessive turning and jackknifing of the steering wheel of said cycle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The stabilizer of claim 1 wherein said fork clamps are mounted on the steering wheel fork of said cycle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The stabilizer of claim 1 wherein said fork clamps are mounted on the steering wheel fork of said cycle and rotatably joined around said steering column frame below said frame clamp.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
106 words
A cycle steering stabilizer comprising a frame clamp mountable on the frame of said cycle proximate the forward portion thereof, a pair of fork clamps, each clamp mountable on a separate branch of the front wheel steering means of said cycle, a pair of arms mounted on said frame clamp which arms bend on hinges having axes extending substantially longitudinally of said cycle, said arms being movable to positions in opposed relationship to said fork clamps and tensable resilient means connecting respectively each fork clamp with its opposed arm of said frame clamp for restraining excessive turning and jackknifing of the steering wheel of said cycle.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
106 words
A cycle steering stabilizer comprising a frame clamp mountable on the frame of said cycle proximate the forward portion thereof, a pair of fork clamps, each clamp mountable on a separate branch of the front wheel steering means of said cycle, a pair of arms mounted on said frame clamp which arms bend on hinges having axes extending substantially longitudinally of said cycle, said arms being movable to positions in opposed relationship to said fork clamps and tensable resilient means connecting respectively each fork clamp with its opposed arm of said frame clamp for restraining excessive turning and jackknifing of the steering wheel of said cycle.
