1, HENRY BRAUND of 19 Norman Road, St. Leonards-on-Sea, in the County
of Sussex, Ironmonger and Cycle Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-

combine therewith other useful articles.
The form I prefer to adopt is substantially that of a pocket knife with one or
more blades or other similar fittings at what I may term the knife end, the other.

from wheel rims. I prefer to shape this lever end with a slight kink or hook, the
parts being rounded so as not to damage the tyre and the whole so arranged that
the ends may be used as a lever to be inserted underneath the edge of thei
cover and worked so as to bring it to the outside of the rim in the well known
manner.
If a wider bearing upon the cover be required the lever end may be spread out
or enlarged so as to obtain this and its end may be used for other useful purposes-
a screw driver or wrench for example-and shaped accordingly, care being taken.

Or again, if a screw driver be required it may be formed by an extension of one
of the scabs of the knife portion or a fixed or movable screw driver blade may be
employed.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Tools for Removing Pneumatio
Tyres from Wheel Rims.
I, HENRY BRAUND, of 19 Norman Road, St. Leonards-ou-Sea, in the County
of Sussex, Ironmonger and Cycle Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this-
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described' and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to extractors for pneumatic tyres, the object being to
combine therewith other useful articles.
The form I prefer to adopt is substantially that of a pocket knife with one or
more blades or other similar fittings at what I may term the knife end, the other
end being suitably formed to serve as an extractor for removing pneumatic tyres
from wheel rims. I prefer to shape this lever end with a slight kink or hook,-

page_text: the parts being rounded so as not to damage the tyre and the whole so arranged
that the end may be used as a lever to be inserted underneath the edge of the
cover and workel so as to bring it to the outside of the rim in the well known
manner.
If a wider bearing upon the cover be required the lever end may be spread out
or enlarged so as to obtain this and its end may be used for other useful purposes-
a screw driver or wrench for example-and shaped accordingly, care being taken
that any sharp edges do not come in contact with the tyre.
Or, again if a screw driver bo required it may be formed by an extension of
one of the scales of the knife portion, or a fixed or movable screw driver blade may
be employed.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a side view of one form of the improved combination tool, and
Figure 2 is an edge view of the same.
Like letters indicate like parts in both figures.
A is the knife handle, formed in this case of the usual scales A and B is the
blade, cork screw or other useful tool which in Figure 1 is shown open. C is the
lever end to be placed between the wheel rim and the pneumatic tyro to pull
the edge of the latter over the rim; it is slightly curved or hooked as shown and
Bo shaped that it will not injure the tyre. D is the spring of the knife which in
this case is continued between the scales and carried beyond their ends to form
the lever end C aforesaid, the scale A' stopping short at the point A', and C being
thickened at A' so as to come up flush with them on each side as shown.
As an alternative method of construction for the lever the scales may be
continued on to the end C and ultimately brought together and brazed.
The lever C may be made of any suitable width according to the amount of
bearing surface required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. The combination tool substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. The combination with a lever-end such as C of a knife or other tool
substantially as described.

BRAUND.
