PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Clips for Attaching Pumps or other Articles to
Cycles.
I, FREDERICK DIXON NAWELL, of Stretford Road, Manchester, in the County
of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the clip for attaching inflators
pumps parcels or other articles to cycles described in the Specification of Letters
Patent granted to A. M. Nawell No. 7725 of 1897.
I find that with that form of clip that when the pump or other article was
detached there was nothing to retain the clip in position and that consequently
it was liable to fall off and be lost.
My present invention consists essentially in the combination with such clip of
a loose movable washer fitting onto or over the cords forming the clip which
while, it can be moved or placed in any desired position moves with sufficient
resistance as to remain in whatever position it is placed.
I cut a washer out of leather or other rigid material with a hole or perforation
through which the clip is drawn. The washer may be of any shape or size
such as circular oval rectangular cylindrical or the like. Or it may be jointed
or formed with a spring and made to clip over or clasp itself upon the rubber
clip.
By being movable its position can be adapted to different sizes of articles or
tube of machine.
The clip is attached to the cycle tube as shown in the previous specification the
washer being placed to engage the end of the loop and prevent it moving or
slipping when the pump or other article is removed.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Clips for Attaching Pumps or other Articles to
Cycles.
I, FREDERICK DIXON NAWELL, of Stretford Road, Manchester, in the County
of Lancaster, 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 the clip for attaching inflators,

page_text: pumps, parcels, or other articles to cycles described in the Specification of
Letters Patent granted to A. M. Nawell No. 7725 of 1897.
I find with that form of clip that when the pump or other article was
detached there was nothing to retain the clip in position, and that consequently
it was liable to fall off and be lost.
My present invention consists essentially in the combination with such a clip
of a loose movable washer fitting onto or over the cords forming the clip which
while it can be moved or placed in any desired position moves with sufficient
resistance as to remain in whatever position it is placed.
It will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1. Perspective view showing the clip in its open or expanded position.
Fig. 2. Perspective view showing the clip in position when in use.
Fig. 3. Perspective view of the parts separated.
The clip A comprises a ring or loop of rubber or other suitable flexible material.
Upon the ring or loop A I place a loose or movable washer B cut or stamped out
of leather or other stiff or rigid material.
In the centre of the washer B is cut or punched a hole or perforation b through
which the clip A is drawn. This hole is of sufficient size to admit the clip but
to press tightly upon it to prevent an easy slipping or sliding movement so that
the washer will remain in any position in which it is placed.
The washer B may be oval as shown or it may be circular, rectangular, cylin-
drical or of any other convenient shape or of any convenient size.
In a modified form the washer may be hinged or jointed or formed with a
spring or otherwise to clip over or clasp itself upon the rubber clip A.
The washer B being movable its position can be adapted to different sizes of
articles or diameters of tubes of the machine or pump.
The clip is attached to the cycle tube as shown in Fig. 2 the washer B being
placed to engage the end of the loop and prevent it moving or slipping when the
pump or other article is removed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The combination with an elastic loop or clip such as A of a loose or movable
washer fitted over it to retain the end in position when attached to a tube or
article substantially as described.
2. A clip for attaching pumps or articles to bicycles substantially as described
and shown.
