Improvements in and connected with the Manufacture of Clips for
Attaching Inflators and other similar Articles to Carriages,
Velocipedes, and Cycles,
JAMES STRADLING 79 Northbrook Street Newbury Berks Cycle Manu-
facturer and Agent does hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
For the convenient carrying of either air pumps, inflators, or other articles on
velocipedes or the like-a strip of metal is so ribbed, pierced, and shaped, that
whilst one part forms a spring clip for attachment to the tube or frame of a cycle
or velocipede, that part of the same, which is partly pierced out, is turned up the
opposite way, and forms another spring clip, for attaching the inflator or other
articles as desired to the former. The whole being thus made in one piece,
To prevent the clip on the frame or tube from moving, the inventor may use a
screw, hook or other device to tighten the same on the frame or tube.
Doted this 26th day of September 1894.

Improvements in and connected with the Manufacture of Clips for
Attaching. Inflators and other similar Articles to Carriages,
Velocipedes, and Cycles.
1, JAMES STRADLING of 79, Northbrook Street Newbury Berkshire, Cycle
Manufacturer and 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:-
My invention relates to improvements in and connected with the manufacture of
clips for attaching inflators or other articles to velocipedes, carriages, or the like,
and has for its object to remedy certain defects which exist in those now in general
use, by an improved method of constructing same.
These articles, such as now generally used, consist essentially of an upper and
lower clip connected or strapped together by means of a narrow strip or band of
metal, which, after the articles have been in use for some time, becomes loosened
and allows the two clips to ride one over the other and slip about in a very unsafe
and inconvenient manner.
With my improved clip this is rendered impossible owing to the two parts being
formed entirely out of one piece of metal, while the clip can be produced cheaper
and is in all other respects equal, if not superior to, those of ordinary construction.
In carrying any invention into practical effect, a strip of metal is so pierced and
shaped that while one part is bent downwards so as to form a clip for attachment
to the frame or tube of the velocipede, carriage or the like, the central portion is
partly pierced and so shaped that when bent upwards it forms a clip suitable for

page_text: holding the inflator or other article to be carried, while in order to prevent it from
shifting about on the tube or frame of the velocipede, carriage or the like, the first
mentioned clip may be fasteneil or drawn together by means of a screw passing
through a perforation in one arm of the clip and entering an internally screw
threaded sleeve passing through a perforation in the other arm, the said sleeve
being formed with a head so as to prevent it being completely drawn through the
aperture.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a side view of my improved clip connecting an inflator to the tube of a
velocipede, Fig. 2 being an end view of saine.
Fig. 3 is a plan of a blank suitably pierced and perforated for forming my
improved clip.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the figures.
According to my invention a blank or strip of metal (Fig. 3) is so pierced and
shaped that while the outer ends or parts can be bent downwards so as to form
a clip for attachment to a velocipede, carriage or the like, the inner portions a al
may be bent upwards so as to form a clip for holding the inflator or other article
required to be carried.
In order to securely attach the device to a velocipede carriage or the like so
as to prevent it shifting, the lower clip may be fastened or drawn together by means
of a screws passing through the perforation p in the arm of the clip and entering
an internally screw threaded sleeve a passing through the perforation pl in the
arm b', the said sleeve being formed with a head h so as to prevent it being
completely drawn through the perforation p' in the arm b¹ of the clip.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim.is
1. In clips for attaching inflators or other articles to velocipedes, carriages or the
like, the formation of such an article out of one piece of metal, substantially as
herein described and shown and for the purposes specified.
2. The new or improved clip consisting of single piece or strip of metal suitably
pierced, shaped, and bent, so as to form a clip substantially as described and shown
and for the purposes specified.
•
3. In combination with a clip such as above claimed, the screw's and the
internally screw threaded sleeve h, substantially as herein described and shown and
for the purposes specified.
