Improvements in Pump or similar Clips for Cycles and other Vehicles
and Purposes.
I, CHRISTIAN HAMILTON GRAY, of the Indiarubber, Guttapercha, and Telegraph
Works Co Ltd, Silvertown, in the County of Essex, Indiarubber Manufacture,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
-
This invention relates to clips for holding pumps and the like, particularly_to
cycles, and motor cars and for other purposes and may be carried out in the
following manner.
The clip consists of a band of any suitable material and shape, elastic or not
but what I prefer to use is indiarubber, the band being round oi flat, one end
terminating in a head which I prefer to make approximately conical, or semi-
spherical, and the other end flat and provided with preferably two holes through
which the head can be passed
In use the band is placed round the pump on frame-tube and the head inserted
through the fist hole and diawn sufficiently tight Then the pump or tube as
the case may be is surrounded by the projecting end of the band and the head
s then placed through the second hole forming a kind of figure 8 construction
one loop containing the pump on other article to be secured, and the other sur-
rounding the fame-tube or other supporting device
It will be appreciated that the end with the holes need not necessarily be flat
and other means of securing the end may be employed besides the head and hole
through which I have hitherto described it as passing
It is not essential that the material employed should be of an elastic nature,
but I prefer this as it gives a better grip upon both tube and pump and the parts
adjust themselves better

Improvements in Pump or similar Olips for Cycles and other Vehicles
and Purposes.
I, CHRISTIAN HAMILTON GRAY, of the Indiarubber, Guttapeicha, and Telegraph
Works Company Ltd, Silvertown, in the County of Essex, Indiarubber Manu-
facturer, 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 invention relates to clips for holding pumps and the like, particularly to
cycles, and motor cars, and may be carried out in the following manner,

In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 represents a view of the clip or band opened out.
Figure 2 is a view showing the clip or band in use
Like letters indicate like parts throughout the drawings
The clip A consists of a band of material, preferably indiarubber, one end
terminating in a conical or semi-spherical head or button A¹, the other end A*
being flat and having two holes A³ and A' formed in it, through which the
head A¹ can be passed
The head A and flat piece A' are joined by a piece A³ the shape of which is
immaterial but preferably cylindrical or prismatic.
In use, as shown in Figure 2, the band A is placed round the frame tube B
and the head A¹ inserted through the hole A' and drawn faily tight. Then the
pump C is surrounded by the projecting end of the hand and the head placed
through the hole A' thus forming a kind of figure 8 construction, one loop (con-
sisting of the part A) embracing the frame tube and the other loop which is
made of the flat piece A and a portion of the part A surrounding the pump
The relative positions of the pump and frame tube may be reversed with regard
to the clip.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
-
1. A clip with two holes in it and a head or button at one end adapted to pass
through both holes, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. In a clip the combination with a stem or central part of a head or button
at one end and two holes at the other end through both of which the head is
adapted to pass substantially as and for the purpose described
3. The complete clip substantially as described or illustrated in Figure 1 of
the accompanying drawings.
