Bicycle rack

Claim 1

A wheel retaining bicycle support, comprising a. a pair of similar, resilient wheel-embracing members formed of tenuous material and disposed in vertical, generally parallel planes, said members being spaced apart slightly less than the thickness of wheels to be supported, whereby wheels embraced thereby will be resiliently gripped by said members, b. said members having upper and lower extremities and being generally of sigmoid formation in vertical profile, with two vertices projecting forwardly, at least one of said vertices being flared to form a mouth portion to receive a leading portion of a wheel, c. said upper and lower extremities having substantially parallel terminal fingers remote from said vertices and bent transversely therefrom in a common vertical plane, d. top and bottom mounting members permanently affixed to the respective fingers extending from the upper and lower extremities and deformed to provide means for affixing them to vertically disposed supporting means, said mounting members adapted to be selectively mounted in a plurality of angularly disposed planes relative to the plane of said support means, and e. an intermediate connector between each mounting member and vertically disposed supporting means, said connector comprising a planar surface parallel to said supporting means and another surface extending angularly thereto for selective abutment of said mounting member with either of said surfaces to vary the angularity of said bicycle support relative to said supporting means.
