PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Olip for Holding Cycle Tyre Pumps and
the like.
I, HENRY WILLIAM SANDELL, of 17, Bridport Terrace, Dorchester, Dorset,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :---
My invention relates to a new or improved device whereby cycle tyre pumps
and other small articles may be secured to the handle bar or to one of the tubes of
the frame, and has for its object to provide a clip of extremely simple construction,
that shall be strong and reliable, and which can be very cheaply produced.
In carrying my invention into practice, I take a plate of thin metal or other
suitable material which I bend into the form of an S, and also a piece of wire bent
to form two arms which are also S shaped. The wire is binged to the top of the
plate, so that between the wire and the plate a circular space is formed in which
the handle bar or one of the tubes of the frame rests, while the lower part of the
wire and plate form a second circular recess or clip to embrace the pump, the arms
of the wire passing over the end of the plate and springing into a recess formed in
either edge of the plate, or the upper part of the plate is made narrower, in which
case the arms of the wire spring over the broader portion of the said plate.
Dated this 19th day of December 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Clip for Holding Cycle Tyre Pumps and
the like.
I, HENRY WILLIAM SANDELL, of 17, Bridport Terrace, Dorchester, Dorset,
Gentleman, 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 :-
My invention relates to a new or improved device whereby cycle tyre pumps
and other small articles may be secured to the handle bar or to one of the tubes of
the frame, and has for its object to provide a clip of extremely simple construction,
that shall be strong and reliable, and which can be very cheaply produced.
In carrying my invention into practice, I take a plate of thin metal or other
suitable material which I bend into the form of an S, and also a piece of wire bent
to form two arms which are also S shaped. The wire is hinged to the top of the
plate, so that between the wire and the plate a circular space is formed in which
the handle bar or one of the tubes of the frame rests, while the lower part of the
wire and plate form a second circular recess or clip to embrace the pump, the arms
of the wire passing over the end of the plate and springing into a recess formed in
either edge of the plate, or the upper part of the plate is made narrower, and the
arms of the wire spring over the broader portion of the said plate.

page_text: In order that my invention may be more fully understood I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a side view of the clip when closed and
Fig. 2 a corresponding view with the arms open.
Fig. 3 is a front view of the said clip.
My improved clip consists of a plate of metal p bent into the form of an S and
also of a length of wire w bent twice at right angles so as to form two arms a, b,
(Fig. 3) running parallel to one another, which are hinged to the top of the plate p
at h. The said arms are likewise bent into the form of an S so that between the
upper portion of the-wire w and the-plate p a circular recesse is formed in which
the handle bar or one of the tubes of the frame rests while between the lower
portion of the plate and the wire a second recess c¹ is formed to embrace. the pump
or inflator.
In order to attach my improved clip to the cycle and secure the pump thereto it
is first opened into the position shown in Fig. 2 and placed around the handle bar
or one of the tubes of the machine when it is drawn together, the arms a, b of the
wire wo being expanded by the fingers until they can conveniently pass over the
enlarged lower portion of the plate p, they are then pushed up until the clip firmly
embraces the tube or handle bar of the machine, the wire arms then springing over
the broader portion of the plate and thus firmly attaching the clip which cannot be
removed until the arms are again drawn apart or expanded, while the pump or
inflator is sprung into the lower circular recess c¹ in a similar manner as into an
ordinary pump or inflator clip or carrier.
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 :-
:-
The new or improved pump or inflator clip or carrier substantially as herein
-described and shown and for the purpose set forth.
