nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The combined bicycle pump and rest is composed of the ordinary pump with
improved telescopic nozzle. It is attached to the upper part of the machine with a
ball and socket hinge. If the rest is required, the improved nozzle and india rubber
tube is pushed into the other tube and a pointed cap screwed on; the two remaining
tubes drawn as far as required and fastened with a permanent screw. If pump is
required screw off the pointed cap pull out the nozzle and screw off tho upper part

I, EDOUARD XAVIER DAMMAN, of 73 Rue de la Clinique, Brussels, in the
Kingdom of Belgium, Manufacturer, 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 :-
The object of the present invention is a device serving as a pump and support
for cycles and similar vehicles having pneumatic or other tyres and its object is to
provide a portable and easily handled pump and at the same time to enable it to
be used for supporting the bicycle when standing in vertical position.
The preferred construction of the invention is represented in the drawings
herewith from which the form of construction of the different parts may be easily
understood.
Whilst travelling the pump is pushed into a tube and attached at one end to the
frame of the machine by means of a universal hinge; the other end being secured
by a buckle, catch, hook, or in any other suitable manner.
In order to be used as a support the device is provided at the other end of the
pump with a pointed cap D which rests on or penetrates into the ground, thus
forming a simple, practical and strong support.
Fig. 1, shows the tube A of the pump connected by means of a nut E, universal
joint F and a clamping ring G with one of the frame tubes of a cycle, in this figure
the pump is shown completely telescoped into the tube A.
In Fig. 2, on the contrary the pump is shown with the tube B drawn out of the
tube A, the parts E, F, G, being shown as seen from the top of the bicycle.
Fig. 3, shows the pump ready for use, the cap D is unscrewed from the tube B
and the rubber tube C is pulled out in the position ready for use.

page_text: Fig. 4, also shows the pump ready for use, the tubes being however seen in section
in order to indicate the position of the inner parts.
It will be observed that the combination may be used as a pump and support for
cycles in a very simple and ready manner and the weight of the bicycle will not he
perceptibly increased.
The device may be used on ladies' as well as on gentlemen's cycles or on any other
form of construction.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is :-
1. A device serving as a pump and support for bicycles consisting of a tube secured
by means of a universal hinge to the cycle frame and forming the outer tube of the
telescopic pump, which is provided at its end with a removable pointed cap adapted
to rest upon or penetrate into the ground, when the device is used as a support,
substantially as described.
2. The combination and arrangement of parts forming a complete combined
cycle pump and support substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
