A New or Improved Clip or Holder more Particularly Intended for
Securing the Pump or Inflator to a Velocipede or the like.
We, ARTHUR ALFRED BLUEMEL, and FREDERICK RICHARD BLUEMEL, both of
32, Godwin Road, Forest Gate, Essex, Gentlemen, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to a new or improved clip or holder more particularly
intended for securing the pump or inflator to a velocipede or the like, the object
of which is to provide a light and handy clip or holder arranged in such a
manner that nothing but rubber comes into contact with the enamelled surface
of the velocipede frame and with the inflator or other article being carried. By
this means it is quite impossible for the enamelled or plated surfaces to become
scratched or damaged, while the said clip can be quickly secured in position or
released as required.
In carrying our invention into practical effect we provide a band of rubber
or other suitable material the central portion of which is designed to pass round
and embrace the tube of the velocipede, while upon each side of the said rubber
strip is moulded or secured to same in any convenient manner a rib, ridge or
projection, said projecting portions being drawn through a metal link after the
central plain portion of the elastic strip or band has been passed around the tube
of the velocipede or the like. The free ends of the said rubber strip or band are
designed to embrace and secure the pump, inflator or other article to be carried,
and for this purpose one of the ends is provided with a plain buckle of metal or
other suitable material, said buckle comprising a rectangular frame having a
central cross bar by means of which it is secured to the end of the band or strip
while to the second free end of the said band or strip upon the outer surface of
same, and at a sufficient distance from the extreme end, we mould, arrange
or form in any convenient manner a rib, ridge, or bulged portion, so that in order
to secure the pump or inflator in position it is only necessary to lap the two ends
of the aforesaid rubber band or strip around same, when the extreme end is
passed through the aforesaid buckle and drawn in a sufficient distance until the
thickened, ribbed, or bulged portion passes through and under the side of the
buckle, by this means securing the two ends of the band or strip together for the
purpose of supporting the pump or inflator, while the said ends can be readily
drawn apart when required by pressing the said buckle and pulling the thickened
portion through same.

We, ARTHUR ALFRED BLUEMEL, and TREDERICK RICHARD BLUEMEL, both of
32, Godwin Road, Forest Gate, Essex, Gentlemen, 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:-
Our invention relates to a new or improved clip or holder more particularly
intended for securing the pump or inflator to a velocipede or the like, the object
of which is to provide a light and handy clip or holder arranged in such a
manner that nothing but rubber comes into contact with the enamelled surface
of the velocipede frame and with the inflator or other article being carried. By
this means it is quite impossible for the enamelled or plated surfaces to become
scratched or damaged, while the said clip can be quickly secured in position or
released as required.
In carrying our invention into practical effect we provide a band of rubber
or other suitable material the central portion of which is designed to pass round
and embrace the tube of the velocipede, while upon each side of the said rubber
strip is moulded or secured to same in any convenient manner a rib, ridge or
projection, said projecting portions being drawn through a metal link after the
central plain portion of the elastic strip or band has been passed around the tube
of the velocipede or the like. The free ends of the said rubber strip or band aro
designed to embrace and secure the pumps, inflator or other article to be carried,
and for this purpose one of the ends is provided with a plain buckle of metal or
other suitable material, said buckle comprising a rectangular frame having a
central cross bar by means of which it is secured to the end of the band or strip
while to the second free end of the said band or strip upon the outer surface of
same, and at a sufficient distance from the extreme end, we mould, arrange
or form in any convenient manner a rib, ridge, or bulged portion, so that in order
te secure the pump or-inflator in position it is only necessary to lap the two ends
of the aforesaid rubber band or strip around same, when the extreme end is
passed through the aforesaid buckle and drawn in a sufficient distance until the
thickened, ribbed, or bulged portion passes through and under the side of the
buckle, by this means securing the two ends of the band or strip together for
the purpose of supporting the pump or inflator, while the said ends can be readily
drawn apart when required by pressing the said buckle and pulling the thickened
portion through same.
In order that our invention may be more fully understood, we will now proceed
to describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1
is a perspective view of the completed clip showing it in the closed position
Fig. 2 is a plan and a longitudinal view of the strin of material from which the
clip is formed. Fig. 3 is a plan of the link and Fig. 4 a similar view of the
buckle employed in connection with our improved clip.
In carrying our invention into practical effect, we take a strip or band a of india
rabber or other suitable material, the central portion of which is designed
to pass round and embrace the tube of the velocipede a (Fig. 1). Upon each
side of the said rubber strip is moulded or formed in any suitable manner a rib,
ridge or projecting portion b, b, said projecting portions being drawn through a
link (Figs. 1 and 3) after the central portion at of the band or strip a has been
passed around the tube of the velocipede or the like, the corresponding ridges or pro-
jecting portions 61, 61, closing togethen as shown in Fig. 1 and forming a cushion

page_text: against which the inflator or other article being carried closely bears. The free
ends c, c, of the rubber strip or band which are designed to embrace the pump
or inhator or other article to be carried have to secured to one of the ends ca
buckle d, (Figs. 1 and 4) comprising a rectangular frame with a central cross
bar by means of which it is secured to the end of the strip or band a, while
the free end c' has formed upon its outer surface a rib, ridge or bulged portion
of convenient form, so that in order to secure the pump or inflator in position,
it is only necessary to lap the two ends of the aforesaid rubber band or strip a
around same when the extreme end is passed through the space or opening g
of the buckled and drawn in a sufficient distance until the thickened rib or bulged
portion passes through and under the side of the buckle, by this means securing
the two ends of the band or strip together, the extreme end being then passed
through the opening g' of the buckle d so that it may be neatly carried and out
of the way.
The end of the strip or band a may be furnished for a sufficient distance
with an intermediatory substance such as canvas or the like as shown at Fig. 2
for the purpose of preventing this portion of the band or clip from stretching.
When it is required to release the pump or inflator the ends may be readily
drawn apart by pressing down the ring of the buckle d and drawing the thickened
portion of the strip or band a through sume.
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:-
a
a
1. The new or improved clip or holder comprising essentially
strip or band of india-rubber or other suitable elastic material
having a plain central portion a designed to pass round one
of the tubes of a velocipede or the like, and furnished towards each side with
ribs, ridges, or bulged portions b, b, and having upon its under surface correspond-
ing ridged or bulged portions 6, 6, and a rib, ridge or bulged portion towards
the extreme end of the band or strip a, the whole combined and arranged with
the link and the buckle d, substantially as herein described and shown, and
for the purposes specified.
2. The new or improved clip or holder more particularly intended for securing
the pump or inflator to a velocipede or the like, substantially as herein described
and shown, and for the purposes specified.
