PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Inflater for Inflating Cycle Tyres, Footballs, Saddles, and such like.
We, WILLIAM HAYWARD BOND and WILLIAM RICHARD MOORE Engineers,
both of 21 Castle Street Kingsland in the County of London do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to (inflaters) for inflating cycle tyres footballs saddles and
such like. Our invention relates to improvements in the construction of the said
inflater or pump. The inflater or pump at present in use affords very little
purchase or hold and in a cramped position. We attain this our object by making
said inflater with a stationary cylinder and movable piston rod which is worked up
and down in the cylinder similar to an ordinary syringe thus giving much power to
the operator. The cylinder of the pump is held firmly in the left hand while the
piston is worked up and down by the right hand thereby forcing or pumping air
into the vessel connected to receive it in the ordinary way. The end of said
inflater out of which the air is forced under pressure is fitted with a nozzle. The
said nozzle is also fitted with valve to prevent the air from returning when the
piston is at the bottom of its stroke the said valve immediately closing and stops
the return action. The handles of the piston rod may be bent or cast in any
desired shape. We also adope to the said inflater or pump a suitable grips for
fastening on the frame of cycle when not in use these grips are made detachable so
they may if desired be despensed with at will.

We WILLIAM HAYWARD BOND and WILLIAM RICHARD MOORE Engineers
both of 21 Castle Street Kingsland in the County of London 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 inflater or pump for inflating cycle tyres footballs
saddles and such like. Our invention relates to improvements in the construction of
the said inflater. The inflater at present in use affords verry little purchase or
hold and in a cramped position. The manner in which we propose to carry out
our said invention is set forth in the following statement reference being had to the
sheet of drawings appended hereunto. In the said drawings two views of inflater
made according to our invention are shown.
Fig. 1. gives a sectinal view of the interor of aforsaid inflater. A is the cylinder
or barrel. B the piston having packing of leather or other suitable material.
The cylinder A at one end is fitted with a guide bush D, through which the piston
rod passes.
The other end of the cylinder or barrel is fitted with a nozzle E, to
which is also fitted a non return valve G. The said non return valve consists of a
screwed plug pivoted at one end and drilled up the centre with a hole drilled
horizontally through to meet the centre hole. H is a circular piece of india rubber
resting on the pivoted end of plug G. pressing lightly against the nozzel seat when
the piston makes its downward stroke the said piece of india rubber is forced over

page_text: the pivot end of plug allowing the air to pass through the horizontal hole to the
centre hole into the vessel or tyre, to the plug G. any convenient connecting piece
or supplementary nozzel may be attached. An air hole or inlet is made in the
cylinder A, at the top end. The piston rod B. 1. is formed with a handle F. which
are made to telescope or slide over the cylinder A. with a pair of finger grips.
When the fingers are placed round their respective grips the inflater can be held
firmly and comfortable in a manner which is impossible with the ordinary patten
inflater in use for this purpose.
Fig. 2. shows the aforsaid inflater complett. The said handles are made tublar
to telescope or slide over cylinder A. with each side being cut away leaving two
'surports which carry the finger grips or they may be made tublar without the sides
being cut away but provided with finger grips and thumb seats at will. In order
that we may be throughly understood in reference to the aforsaid handles we give
a front and side view such as shown at Figs. 3. 4 & 5.
Fig. 3. having two finger grips but not parlled with each other as shown at
Fig. 1 one being lower than the other.
34 is the side view of Fig. 3 showing the sides cut away leaving the surports
which carry grips.
Fig. 4. is provided with one finger grip and a thumb seat the forefinger is placed
round the respective grip and the thumb on the thumb seat, this form of handle
affords great firmness and comfort to the operator.
4 is a side view of Fig. 4.
Fig. 5 shows a view of the tublar handle not having the sides cut away but
having finger grip and thumb seat and to telescope or slide over as herein described.
Refering now to Fig. 6 shows the various details the same letters having
reference to the same parts throughout. G. is the plug cut in two showing the holes
connecting each other aforsaid and described. H is the circular piece of india
rubber which rests on the pivot end of plug G.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we have it understood that
we do not confine ourselves to the exact details as herein shown and described as
they may be varied without departing from the nature of our invention but what we
wish to claim is
1st. A non return valve made with a screwed plug with holes connecting each
other and pivoted at one end to hold the piece of india rubber or other suitable
material in its place and to convey the air through the supplementary nozzel as
herein before described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2nd. In an inflater the use of such tublar handles with finger grips and thumb
seats, as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
