ABSTRACT:
A bicycle tire scraper for removing debris from a bicycle tire. The scraper includes a brush movably attached to a brush arm which selectively engages the brush with the tire. A collar is attachable to the bicycle frame and supports the brush arm in a pivotally fixed position relative to the frame. Upon a pivotal displacement of the brush arm, the brush engages the tire. Upon release of the brush arm, a return spring returns the brush arm to an initial position away from the tire and, in turn, returns the brush to a position out of engagement with the tire. A brush arm stop limits the return of the brush arm to the initial position. The brush arm may be depressed either directly via a lever arm extending from the brush arm or indirectly via a cable displacable by a remote lever arm. A brush stop limits the radial movement of said brush to ensure adequate surface contact between the brush and the circumference of the tire. Moreover, a lateral brush slide is attached to the brush to provide a limited axial movement of the brush relative to the brush arm to ensure that the brush is permitted to slide laterally to align itself with the tread of the tire.
