Improvements in and relating to Velocipedes.
We DAN ALBONE of the Ivel Hotel, Biggleswade, in the County. of Bedford-
shire, Licensed Victualler, and RICHARD TINGEY, of Ivel House, Caldecote,
near Biggleswade, in the County aforesaid, Foreman of Works, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to a device for carrying an inflation pump-such as is used
for inflating pneumatic tyres-on the frame of a oycle, and it consists essentially of
two clips or their equivalents, the one adapted to embrace the barrel of the pump,
and the other the piston thereof, so that both parts of the pump are gripped. The
clips may take the form of U-shaped spring clips or of sockets, each clip or socket
being adjustably attached to the frame of the cycle-at any convenient part-by
any suitable form of clip or claw bracket. A convenient form of bracket consists
of a length of hand steel attached at or about its centre to the clip or socket
adapted to carry one part of the inflation pump. The free ends of this band are
provided with holes through which-when the ends are overlapped-a set screw
is passed and threaded into a nut lying on the underside of the overlapping ends of
the band. The set screw on being screwed into the nut bears on the tube of the
frame passing through the loop or clip made by the band or on a plate bedding
thereon-and so forces the ends of them away from the tube, and thus binds the
clip or socket carried by it firmly to the said tube. By mounting the clips or
sockets adjustably. on the tube of the frame their positions with respect to one
another may be varied to suit pumps of different lengths.

We DAN ALBONE of the Ivel Hotel Biggleswade in the County of Bedford-
shire Licensed Victualler and RICHARD TINGEY of Ivel House Caldecote near
Biggleswade in the County aforesaid 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 :-
Our invention relates to a device for carrying an inflation pump,-such as is used
for inflating pneumatic tyres, on the frame of a cycle.
It consists essentially of and is attained by the use of two spring clips or sockets
the one adapted to embrace the barrel of the pump and the other the piston thereof
80 that both parts of the pump are gripped. The clips take the form of U shaped
spring clips or sockets each clip or socket being fixed at or about its centre to any
suitable form of clip or claw bracket such clip or claw bracket being made adjustable
to fit any portion of the frame of the cycle as may be required.
A convenient form of bracket consists of a length of band steel attached at or
about its contre to the spring clip or socket adapted to carry one part of the
inflator pump. The froe ends of this band are provided with holes through which
when the ends are overlapped-a set screw is passed and threaded into a nut
lying on the underside of the overlapping ends of the band.
The set screw on being screwed into the nut bears on the tube of the frame

page_text: passing through the loop or clip made by the band-or on a plate bedding on such
tube or frame and so forces the ends of them away from the tube and thus binds
the spring clip or socket carried by it firmly to the said tube or frame. By
mounting the spring clips or sockets adjustably on the tube of the frame their
positions with respect to one another may be varied to suit pumps of different
lengths.
The accompanying drawings shew more clearly the nature of our invention.
Fig. is a front view in section shewing the band passing round the tubo of
frame and overlapping the nut and also the spring clip or socket adapted for pussing
round the barrel of the pump.
ז'
Figs. 2 and 3 shew the pump held in position by the spring clips or sockets.
The same letters apply to the same part in each figure.
(a) is the band clip. (b) the nut. (c) the screw. (d) the spring clip or bracket
embracing the barrel of the pump and (e) in Fig. 3 the spring clip or socket
embracing the piston of the pump
The pump is placed in the spring clips or sockets and is held firmly on the tube
by means of the band clip as will readily be seen from the drawings. The spring
clips or sockets are readily adjusted to suit pumps of different lengths.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is performed we declare that what we
claim is.
1. The spring clips or sockets for holding an inflation pump as above described.
2. The adjustable bracket or steel band for attaching such clips to the frame of
the cycle as above described.
