PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Means for Attaching Inflators
to the Frames of Cycles or the like.
We, HERBERT STONE, of Bracebridge Street, in the City of Birmingham, Manu-
facturer, and ARTHUR HENRY HILL, of 7 Rowland Road, Handsworth, near
Birmingham, Brassworker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
-
This invention relates to improvements in or connected with means for attaching
inflators to the frames of cycles or other similar rods, and consists as follows:-
We provide a clip band, having a swan neck like hook at each end, and to
one of these ends we secure an elastic band or ring, the outer end of which may
be secured to or upon the other hook of the clip band.
This clip band is preferably of flat strip metal, which may be soldered to the
inflator, or be made loose, but so that it may be sprung or passed on to the barrel
of the inflator, or upon the bar of the cycle frame &c. In some cases the said
clip band may be of wire, and in either case when mado loose from the inflator
it may be covered or padded or studded with india-rubber or other suitable
substance to prevent scratching the enamel of the machine.
The elastic band is generally made of an india-rubber ring, but may be of
an india-rubber strap with loops at the ends, or it may be of a coiled wire form
having suitable ends.
Its use would be thus:-The clip band being soldered to or passed on to the
inflator, the elastic band is passed around the bar of the frame, and then secured
upon the opposite book, thus firmly holding the inflator in position.
In some cases we may modify the clip band portion, by making two metallic
hook parts and secure them to each other, so as to form four hooks with two
elastic bands, the one to pass around the inflator, and the other to pass around
the frame, each being secured upon their respective opposite hooks.
Thus by these means, we provide either in combination with or loosely from
the inflator, a ready, simple, yet effective means of securing the inflator to the
machine &c.

Improvements in or connected with Means for Attaching Inflators
to the Frames of Cycles or the like.
We, HERBERT STONE, of Bracebridge Street, in the City of Birmingham, Manu-
facturer, and ARTHUR HENRY HILL, of 7 Rowland Road, Handsworth, near
Birmingham, Brass-worker, 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 improvements in or connected with means for attaching
inflators to the frames of cycles or other similar rods, and consists as follows:-
In order to more clearly describe this our invention we have appended hereunto
Price Rd 1

page_text: an illustrative sheet of drawings upon which are figures and numbers of reference,
in which:
Fig. 1 is a view of this our invention.
Fig. 2 shows the invention applied to the attachment of a pump tube to
another tube, such for instance as one of the tubes of the frame of a cycle.
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on line A-B of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view of a modification of this our invention.
We provide a clip band 6, having a swan neck like hook 7 at each end, and
to one of these ends we secure an elastic band or ring 8, the outer end of
which may be hooked upon the other hook of the clip band, as
Figs. 2, 3 & 4.
seen in
This clip band 6 is preferably of flat strip metal, which may if desired be soldered
to the inflator, which latter is represented by the tube marked 9, or be made
loose, but so that it may be sprung or passed on to the said barrel 9, or if
preferred upon the bar 10 of the cycle frame &c. In some cases the said clip band
may be of wire, and in either case when made loose from the inflator it may be
covered or padded or studded with india-rubber or other suitable substance to
prevent scratching the enamel of the machine.
The elastic band 8 is generally made of an india-rubber ring, but may be of
an india-rubber strap with loops at the ends, or it may be of coiled wire form
having suitable ends.
In some cases we may modify the clip band portion, by making two metallic
hook parts 6 6" as seen in Fig. 4 and secure them to each other, so as to form
four hooks 7, 7ª, 7ª, 7, with two elastic bands 8° 8ª, the one to pass around the
inflator 9, and the other to pass around the frame 10, each being secured upon
their respective opposite hooks.
Its use would he thus:-The clip band 6 being soldered to or sprung on to the
inflator, the elastic band 8 is passed around the bar 10 of the frame, and then
secured upon the opposite hook, as seen in Figs. 2 & 3, thus firmly holding
the inflator in position, or as shown in Fig. 4, the one elastic band is first secured
to the frame 10 (or alternatively the inflator 9) when the other band is then passed
around the inflator 9 and secured upon the opposite hook as shown in the said
Fig. 4.
Thus by these means, we provide either in combination with or loosely from
the inflator, a ready, simple, yet effective means of securing the inflator to the
machine &c.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is :-
(1.) The combination with a clip device such as 6, of the elastic band or clip
such as 8 as a means for the attachment to or the carrying of inflators upon the
frames of cycles.
(2.) The combination with the double hooked device such as 6 of the double
elastic bands or clip such as 8, as and for the purposes shown and specified.
