Improvements in the Method of Inflation of Pneumatic or
Inflated Tyres.
I, CHARLES JENNERY 143 Wightman Road Harringay London N. Cycle
Salesman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide a method of inflating pneumatic or
inflated tyres, either by utilizing the tube or tubes constituting the seat pillar of a
bicycle, tricycle or any other cycle or by fixing a pump or inflator outside any part
of a bicycle, tricycle or any other cycle, or their accessories, for use in a fixed
position. I may use either or both or one of the upper arms of the seat pillar as
the cylinder for making an inflator. I may fit a nozzle or other suitable device to
the tube, and a fixed or detachable tube or pipe to the nozzle. I may use any kind
of piston, and I may fit the nozzle end of the tube with a valve to prevent the
return of the air into the fixed or detachable tube. I may use a fixed or detachable
handle or I may make it without a handle. I may connect the front wheel or tyre
to the forks of a bicycle tricycle or other cycle for the purpose of preventing
slipping during inflation.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION..
Improvements in the Method of Inflation of Pneumatic or
Inflated Tyres.
I, CHARLES JENNERY Cycle Salesman of 143 Wightman Road Harringay in
the County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to improvements in the method of inflation of pneumatic
tyres.
For this purpose I fix or braze or solder or otherwise join a metal clip or clips
or their equivalent to the inflator to take on to any tube of a velocipede for the
purpose of securely attaching the inflator to the velocipede. I then attach a
flexible tube to the nozzle of the inflator of sufficient length to be attached to the
valves of the wheels so that the inflator may be used without detaching it from the
velocipede.
As an alternative method, I sometimes fix or braze or solder or otherwise join a
metal clip or clips or their equivalent, to any part of a velocipede to take on to the
inflator, and I then attach a flexible tube to the inflator in the manner before
shewn.
As a further alternative method, I sometimes make the clip or clips or their
equivalent as an integral part of the cylinder of the inflator, or of the end caps
thereof, or of the handle thereof.
I sometimes make the herein before mentioned clip or clips adjustable to fit any
sized tube.
I also fix or securely attach an inflator to any of the accessories of a velocipede,
so that the inflator may be used if desired without detaching it from the said
accessories.
I sometimes fit a handle shaped like a ball to the inflator.
In order that my invention may be better understood I have illustrated the same
in the accompanying drawings.

page_text: Figure 1 shews the method of securely attaching an inflator to a tube of a
velocipede, and also to the gear-case or chain cover of a velocipede.
A is the inflator. D, D, are the clips. C is the flexible detachable tube. B is
the handle of the inflator.
Figure 2 shews the clips D, D, made as a part of the cylinder or end caps of the
inflator A.
Figure 3 shews the clip D attached to a different form of handle B.
Figures 1 and 2 shew also the handle B shaped like a ball.
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. The combination with a velocipede of an inflator for use whilst securely
attached to the velocipede.
2. The combination with any of the accessories of a velocipede, of an inflator
for use whilst securely attached or soldered or brazed or otherwise joined to any of
the accessories of a velocipede.
3. An inflator having a clip or clips or their equivalent soldered or brazed or
otherwise immovably joined thereto.
4. The cylinder or main tube of an inflator made with a clip or clips or their
equivalent as an integral part thereof.
5. The end caps of an inflator made with a clip or clips or their equivalent as an
integral part thereof.
6. The handle or its equivalent, of an inflator made with a clip or clips or their
equivalent as an integral part thereof.
7. The combination with an inflator of a handle shaped like a ball.
8. The combination with an inflator of an adjustable clip or clips to fit various
sized tubes, the said clip or clips being brazed or soldered or otherwise immovably
joined to the inflator.
9. The combination with a velocipede or any of its accessories of a clip or clips
-or their equivalent soldered or brazed or otherwise immovably joined thereto or
made as an integral part thereof.
10. The means substantially as herein before described for inflating pneumatic
tyres without detaching the inflator from the velocipede or from its accessories.
11. The means substantially as herein before described for attaching an inflator to
any part of a velocipede or its accessories.
Dated this 23rd day of October 1893.
