Improvements in Tools for Removing Mud from Mud Guards and
Tyres of Cycles and the like, and the Lifting of Cycle Tyres
from their Rims.
EDWARD HAYNES, 32 Woodstock Road, West Kensington Park, W., Ironmonger,
and EBENEZER EADE, 32 Woodstock Road, West Kensington Park, W., Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in a combined tool for removing mud.
from mud guards & tyres of cycles & the like, and also for lifting cycle tyres from
their rims.
The tool Fig. 1. consists of, preferably a steel stamping, one end A being curved
for removing mud from mud guards & tyres, the outer edge B to fit into the mud
guard, & the inner edge C to fit over the tyres, the other end 1 being shaped so
as to easily remove the tyre from the rim.
We sometimes prefer to make the end D as per Fig. 2, or to form the tyre lift-
ing portion of the tool at the extremity of the curved or cleaning end as shewn in
Fig. 3.
We also sometimes prefer to make the combined tool of malleable cast iron, wood
or other suitable material, & of the shapes shewn in Figs. 1 to 4, or of bent wire as
per Fig. 5.
We also sometimes prefer to arrange the tool with a hinge between the portion
used for lifting & that used for cleaning, so as to allow the tool to be folded, &
thus occupy less space.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tools for Removing Mud from Mud Guards and
Tyres of Cycles and the like, and the Lifting of Cycle Tyres
from their Rims.
EDWARD HAYNES, of 32 Woodstock Road, West Kensington Park, W., Iron-
monger, and EBENEZER EADE, of 32 Woodstock Road, West Kensington Park, W.,
Engineer, 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:
1
Our said invention has for its object to provide a combined tool for removing

page_text: mud from mud guards & tyres of cycles & the like, and also for lifting cycle tyres
from their rims.
The tool is shown on the drawings filed with our provisional specification,
numbered as above-Figs. 1 to 5..
The tool Fig. 1. consists of, preferably a steel stamping, one end A being curved
for removing mud from mud guards & tyres, the outer edge B to fit into the mud
guard, & the inner edge C to fit over the tyres, the other end D being shaped so
as to easily remove the tyre from the rim.
We sometimes prefer to make the end D as per Fig. 2, or to form the tyre lift-
ing portion of the tool at the extremity of the curved or cleaning end, as shewn in
Fig. 3.
We also sometimes prefer to make the combined tool of malleable cast iron,
wood or other suitable material, & of the shapes shewn in Figs. 1 to 4., or of bent
wire as per Fig. 5.
We also sometimes prefer to arrange the tool with a hinge between the portion
used for lifting, & that used for cleaning, so as to allow the tool to be folded, &
thus occupy less space.
Having now particularly described and ascertained, the nature of our said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
(1.) The arrangement of a tool having at one end a curved portion for remov-
ing the mud from mud guards & tyres of cycles & the like, substantially as &
for the purposes herein before described.
(2.) The arrangement of one end of the tool for tyre lifting, this portion being
grooved on top for the edge of the tyre to fit into, & the underside for the edge of
the rim to fit into, these grooves being made at an angle with the lever, which
prevents slipping whue removing the tyre, substantially as & for the purposes
herein before described.
(3.) The arrangement of a combined tool as shewn in Figs. 1 to 5 with a lifter
square or at an angle with the lever, substantially as & for the purposes herein
before described.
