Description:
The "STAYTHERE" has a flat spring to keep the tool positioned on the spoke rather than the screw clamp shown in the patent drawing. The "cross-shaped" wrench would have to be slid onto a spoke at its narrowest point and then slid down to engage the nipple.

A notice and ad in an early 1892 cycling trade journal show the tool produced by the Schaaps at Richmond, VA. The "STAYTHERE" NIPPLE GRIP (produced under license) appears in an 1893 H.H. KIFFE (N.Y.) sporting goods catalog. A known example of the "STAYTHERE" with original box has this patent date on the box cover.
