PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Tyre Inflaters.
We EDWARD HENRY SEDDON, of Brooklands, in the County of Chester,
Managing Director, and JOHN GEORGE AULSEBROOK KITCHEN of 57 Croppers
Hill, St. Helen's in the County of Lancaster, Chemical Student, do hereby
declare the nature of the said invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the kind of inflater or air pump for inflating, pneumatic
tyres in which the hollow piston rod is connected to the valve and held with one
hand while the barrel is gripped by the other hand and worked backwards and
forwards, and consists in the arrangement or combination with the piston rod of a
folding handle by which the same can be held while using the inflater, the object
of the invention being to render the working of the inflater more convenient"
without materially increasing its weight or the space occupied by it when not
in use.
In carrying out our invention we braze or otherwise attach to the piston rod pear
to its end a lug or fork to which we hinge the handle. The latter is formed
preferably of sheet metal bent so as to fit to the outside of the barrel of the
inflater and shaped so as to be convenient in the hand and embrace the barrel in
one part for a little more than half its circumference, and has at its upper end a
fork or lug brazed or otherwise attached to it which is connected by a pin to the
lug or fork on the piston rod. When using the inflater the handle is turned so as
to stand at a right angle to the piston rod; when not in use it is folded against
the barrel, the edges of the wider part of the handle being slightly bent inwards
so as to spring over and clip the barrel and hold the handle in its folded
position.

Improvement in Tyre Inflaters.
We, EDWARD HENRY SEDDON of Warwick House, Ashton on Mersey, formerly
of Brooklands both in the County of Chester, Managing Director, and JOHN
GEORGE AULSEBROOK KITCHEN of 57, Croppers Hill, St. Helens in the County
of Lancaster, Chemical Student 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 the kind of inflater or air pump for inflating pneumatic
tyres in which the hollow piston rod is connected to the valve and held with one
hand while the barrel is gripped by the other hand and worked backward and
forward, and consists in the arrangement or combination with the piston rod of a

of the invention being to render the working of the inflater more convenient
without materially increasing its weight or the space occupied by it when not
in use.

page_text: On the sheet of drawings appended hereunto,
Fig. 1 shows a side view of the improved inflater with the handle opened out;
Fig. 2 a similar view with the handle folded;
Fig. 3 an end view..
In carrying out our invention we braze or otherwise attach to the piston rod a
near to its end a boss b with fork b' to which we hinge the handle c. The latter is
formed preferably of sheet metal bent so as to fit the outside of the barrel d of the
inflater and shaped so as to be convenient in the hand and embrace the barrel at
one part of the handle for a little more than half its circumference, and has
at its upper-end a lug c brazed or otherwise attached to it which is connected by
pin e to the fork 6 on the piston rod b. When using the inflater the handle is
turned as shewn by Fig. 1 so as to stand at a right angle to the piston rod a; when.
not in use it is folded against the barrel, the edges of the wider part c' of the
handle being slightly bent inwards so as to spring over and clip the barrel and hold
the handle in its folded position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said.
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim.is
The arrangement of a folding handle on the piston rod of a tyre inflater.
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the drawings.
