Improvements in Means for Securing Pumps or Inflators to
Cycles.
1, WILLIAM HENRY HENSER, of Stivichall, Coventry in the County of
Warwick, Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:--
This invention relates to clips or means for securing pneumatic tyre inflators or
air pumps to the framings of cycles, and has for its object a securing device which
will safely hold any sized inflator to a machine member and retain the same in
position without noise and without scratching or otherwise injuring the enamel of
a machine.
In carrying out my invention, I take a disc or other shaped piece of leather,
rubber or other soft material, and pierce the same with a pair of separated holes,
situated preferably about an inch apart. Through these holes I thread a cord
made of mohair, silk, hemp or other suitable material, with the middle part forming
a loop for embracing the tube of a machine framing whilst the free ends coming
through onto the underside of the said leather disc or the like are respectively fitted
with a tag and a cleft hook or spring clip, as hereinafter described, with which the
tagged end of the cord is engaged to form a second and adjustable loop for embracing
the barrel of an inflator.
The said spring clip as above mentioned is fashioned from a length of wire, bent
into the form of a cleft double hook, nearly comprehending a complete circle in
shape, and with the side-by-side wires or members of the same being slightly
separated from each other so as to constitute a spring clip, between the sides of
which the other free end of the cord is passed and there automatically held, but is
capable of being adjusted longitudinally therein on being pulled in one or other
direction in order to increase or diminish the size of the loops to suit any sized
framing tube and pump barrel.
Two such clips or securing devices are employed for attaching an inflator in
position, one being located preferably at each end of the barrel.
Dated this 18th day of May 1896.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Means for Securing Pumps or Inflators to
Cycles.
I, WILLIAM HENRY HENSER of Stivichall, Coventry, in the County of
Warwick, Commercial Traveller, 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, carriers or means for securing pneumatic tyre

device which will safely hold any sized inflator to a machine member and retain the
same in position without noise, and without scratching or otherwise injuring the
enamel of a machine..
In carrying out my invention, I take a disc or other shaped piece of leather,
rubber or other soft material and pierce the same with a pair of separated holes,
situated preferably about an inch apart. Through these holes I thread a running
cord made of mohair, silk, hemp or other suitable material, with the middle part
forming a loop for embracing the tube of a machine framing whilst the free ends
coming through onto the underside of the said leather disc or the like are respectively
fitted with a tag and a cleft hook or spring clip, as hereinafter described, with which
the tagged end of the cord is engaged to form a second and adjustable loop for
embracing the barrel of an inflator.
The said spring clip as above mentioned is fashioned from a length of wire, bent
into the form of a cleft double hook, nearly comprehending a complete circle in shape,
and with the side-by-side wires or members of the same being slightly separated from
each other so as to constitute a spring clip, between the sides of which the other
free end of the cord is passed and there automatically held, but is capable of being
adjusted longitudinally therein on being pulled in one or other direction in order
to increase or diminish the size of the loops to suit any sized framing tube and
pump barrel.
Two such clips, carriers or securing devices are employed for attaching an inflator
in position, one being located preferably at each end of the barrel.
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing represents a pneumatic tyre inflator or
air pump secured to a member of the framing of a cycle by a pair of carriers or
attachment clips constructed according to my improvements.
Figure 2 is a vertical section of Figure 1, upon the dotted line .c, showing the
cord of the carrier fastened around the barrel of the pump, and Figure 3 is a
like section, but with the cord disengaged from the hook connection and the
pump removed.
Figure 4 represents a plan, an end view and a longitudinal section of the
rubber or other block or seating located between the pump and the framing
member and which prevents the enamel of a machine from being scratched or
.otherwise injured.
Figure 5 is a back elevation of the double hook connection.
Figure 6 shows an elevation of the one side thereof, and Figure 7 an
elevation of the other side, whilst Figure 8 represents a front elevation of the
same.
Figure 9 represents the length of wire from which the said hook connection is
made.
The same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures
of the drawing.
a is a member of the framing of a cycle, and 6 is the barrel of an air-pump or
tyre inflator, which is secured by the said member by the pair of carriers or clips c.
d is the rubber or other bearing block, which, when in position, is interposed
between the inflator and framing, and d', are the pair of separated holes thereid,
through which the running connection cord e, passes, with the middle part forming
a loop e', embracing the framing, whilst e, e, are the free ends, provided respectively
with a tag e, and the cord fastening f, which is, as aforesaid, in the form of a
double or cleft, and nearly circular book, with the halves or sides f, f, slightly
separated by the space fa, into which a part of the tagged free end e², of the cord
is passed and on being drawn towards the returned and constricted part, of the
said hook, is there clipped and firmly held, although admitting of longitudinal
adjustment inwards or outwards in order to slacken or tighten the grip of the
securing cord upon the inflator or frame member.

page_text: 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:-
First. A carrier or means for securing inflators or air pumps to cycle framings,
consisting of a running cord or equivalent, passed over a framing member and
through a rubber or other block or equivalent interposed seating and then around
the inflator, the free ends of the said cord being connected in any convenient
manner, substantially as described and set forth.
Secondly. A carrier or means for securing inflators or air pumps to cycle
framings, consisting of a running cord or equivalent, passed over or around a
framing member and through a rubber or other yielding block or equivalent
interposed seating, and around the barrel or other part of the inflator, with the free
ends of the said cord being united or connected by a cleft hook or fastening of the
special construction herein described and set forth.
Dated this 18th day of February 1897.
