Indiarubber Clip or Suspender for Bicycle Tyre Inflators or Pumps.
ARTHUR RAWLINSON 98 Brownlow Road Horwich near Bolton, Lancashire,
Assurance Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
My invention consists in an indiarubber casting of say of an inch solid
piping and consists of two loops; one measureing say 2 inches in diameter, and
the lesser of an inch in diameter, but cast in one piece so as to allow of the
smaller loop to be pushed over either end of the pump or inflator, the larger loop
can then be wrapped over the bicycle bar & brought to the same point as the
smaller loop & forms a secure suspender or clip by the act of placing the larger
loop over the end of the pump & up to the small loop, this being done at either
end of the pump or inflator or both, it being my intention that two should be
used, the advantages in this being that you can use them quickly on any machine
or attach the pump to any convenient part of the same, also an entire absence of
vibration & consequently no scratching or disfigureing of the enamelled or plated
parts of a bicycle.

Indiarubber Clip or Suspender for Bicycle Tyre Inflators or Pumps.
ARTHUR RAWLINSON Assurance Agent 98 Brownlow Road Horwich Lancashire
I do bereby 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 said invention relates to improvement connected with puuematic tyre inflators
or pumps, in their attachment to a suitable part of a bycycle or machine were
inflated pnuematic tyres are used. The invention is particularly applicable to the
tyre inflator or pump.
The accompanying drawing illustrates my invention, and Fig. 1. is a view of a clip
according to my invention.
For this purpose my invention is formed of indiarubber moulded in one
piece to the particular shape as shown in Fig. 1, the ring A, of a size and
proportion to fit the inflator or pump with a slight contraction of the india-
rubber when fixed. The long loop B as shown in Fig.. 1. to be of sufficient length
and proportion to form a secure attachment or connection to a bycycle, preferably
the handle bar, or other convenient part of the machine.
When it is desired to use the clip according to my invention, the ring A as
shown in Fig. 1. is pushed or slipped on to the end of an inflator or pump to a
distance of about an inch along the tube, and the same operation to be performed
with a second clip at the opposite end. The inflator or pump is then brought

page_text: preferably close to, and under, the handle bar of bycycle or other convenient part
of machine, and the loop end B as shown in Fig. 1. is drawn over the handle
bar of bycycle or other convenient part of machine and looped on to the end of
inflator or pump, the same operation being again performed at the opposite end
with the second clip. To release the inflator or pump the long loop B as shown
in Fig. 1. is pushed or slipped off the ends of inflator or pump only, and the clip
remains securely fixed to inflator or pump.
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
1st. A clip for inflators or bycycle pumps in one piece of solid indiarubber.
2nd. With a special attachment to the inflator or bycycle pump.
3rd. In an inflator or by cycle pump clip, the division A to receive and remain
fixed to inflator, the division B to loop over handle bar or convenient part of a
machine on to inflator from the end, substantially as described and shown.
