PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Device for Carrying Tyre-inflators and other Articles
upon Cycles.
We, ALFRED PELLANT, Cycle Agent, and HARRY HODGES, Cycle Mechanic,
both of High Street, Christchurch, in the County of Hampshire, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This our invention has reference to a new and useful device, for attachment to
the frame or handle-bar of cycles for the purpose of carrying a tyre-inflator. The
device is also applicable for carrying other articles, such as a walking-stick,"
umbrella, rifle, etc.
By the use of this our improved device, the inflator or other article can be readily,
removed for use and as easily replaced when done with. The device will retain.
the articles firmly & thus prevent rattling and can be readily removed and attached
to any cycle. Moreover the article is neat in appearance, cheap to manufacture,
and not liable to get out of order.
Our invention consists of two pieces of wire, each of which is bent at a point
equi-distant from its ends, at right angles. The central parallel portions are then
brought together and hinged together by a metal link. The ends of the wires
projecting at each end of the link are then bent around, a round bar which, when
removed, forms a loop. The ends are then bent again around a round bar, (in the
opposite direction) which, when removed forms a semi-circular loop.
In attaching the device to the frame or handle-bar of a cycle the wires are sprung
apart and placed over the frame-bar or handle-bar, and the inflator is inserted
through the semi-circular loops parallel to the frame-bar or handle-bar.
If the inflator is of considerable length, two of the devices may be used, (one at
each end thereof,) or the device may be made correspondingly longer as will be
understood.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Device for Carrying Tyre-inflators and other Articles
upon Cycles.
We, ALFRED PELLANT, Cycle Agent, and HARRY HODGES, Cycle Mechanic,
both of High Street, Christchurch, Hampshire, 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 our invention has reference to a new and useful device for attachment to
the frame or handle-bar of cycles for the purpose of carrying a tyre-inflator and
other articles, (such as a walking-stick, umbrella, rifle etc.) upon cycles.
By the use of this our improved device, the inflator or other article can be readily
removed for use and be easily replaced when done with. The device will retain
the articles firmly, and thus prevent rattling, and further, it can be readily removed
and attached to any cycle. Moreover the article is neat in appearance, cheap to
manufacture and not liable to get out of order.
We now proceed to describe our said invention, reference being had to the
accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon; like
letters referring to like parts throughout.
Fig. 1 is a side view of our improved clip, and Fig. 2 is an end view thereof..

page_text: The clip consists of two pieces of wire A, B, and a link C. At suitable points a, b,
-the wires are bent at right-angles to the middle portions D. The free ends are
then bent and crossed as clearly shewn in Fig. 2. The parallel portions D are
united and hinged by a metal link C.
In order to attach the clip to the handle-bar or frame E of a cycle the curved
arms e of the wires are opened apart until the clip can be passed and closed over
the frame or handle-bar E as shewn. The inflator or other article can then be
readily sprung into position, as indicated by the broken lines F.
If the inflator or other article is of considerable length, two clips may be employed
(one near each end of the inflator or other article), or the clip may be made
correspondingly longer, as will be readily understood.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
The hereindescribed clip for carrying tyre inflators and other articles upon.
cycles, said clip consisting of two pieces of wire bent as shewn in the drawings
hereunto, annexed, and united by a link, substantially as and for the purposes
hereinbefore set forth.
Dated this 25th day of August 1893.
