Combined Pneumatic Tyre Detacher and Cyclists' Repair Outfit.
I, ERNEST ALFRED COLLOT, of 134, Tiverton Road, Selly Oak, Bournbrook, near
Birmingham, Pneumatic Tyre Fitter, 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 has relation to an instrument or apparatus to be used by cyclists,
and consists in a combined tyre detacher or stripper and receptacle for a tyre repair-
ing outfit or small requisites such as are usually carried by cyclists.
The combined instrument comprises a cylinder or box-shaped receptacle closed
at one end by a removable cap, lid or cover and at the other end by a fixed cap,
which carries, and forms a handle or lever to, either a permanently affixed or a
detachable tyre stripping, device, which may consist of a stem of suitable length
having a turned up tongue at the front end.
Figure 1. of the accompanying drawing represents an elevation of one form of
my combined instrument and Figure 2 is a topside plan thereof, both these said
views, showing the tyre detaching device in its position of use, i.e. screwed to the
fixed oap at one end of the receptacle or box, which thereby constitutes a handle
or lever.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section of the said receptacle part of the appliance
ור י ם

page_text: separately, showing the tyre repairing outfit contained therein, and with the
loose cap removed.
Figure 4 is the tyre detaching instrument separately, and Figure 5 a section
of the loose cap separately.
The same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures
of the drawing.
a is the body of the repair outfit casing or receptacle, which may be of any con-
venient size, shape and section, and when cylindrical as shown, one end of it is
closed by a detachable or removable cap b, capable of screwing onto the wormed
part a', whilst the opposite end is preferably permanently closed by a fixed cap or
cover c, the middle of' which has a screw socket c', adapted to receive the screwed
after end, of a tyre detacher or stripper d, the fore end of the stem of which is
fashioned into a turned up tongue or lip d', of a shape suitable for expeditiously
removing a wired-on or other tyre from a wheel rim.
Within the interior of the said casing, the tyre puncture repairing outfit is
located and comprises a box e, containing French chalk kept in its place by the
rubber stop el, a roll of canvas and thin patching rubber f, a tube of india rubber
solution 9, a marking pencil h, and a strip of sandpaper i, although these requisites
may be modified or some of them substituted by others if required.
:
When the casing is an oval or other figure than round in cross section, then
the one end of the same may be closed by a hinged or spring-on lid instead of the
cover being screwed on as described and instead of the detaching device being
removable, it may be brazed or otherwise permanently affixed to the receptacle,
although I prefer that it should be detachable, so as to admit of it being removed
and placed inside the receptacle when not required for use.
Instead of the casing being constructed to contain and carry a puncture repair-
ing outfit, it may carry an oil can or other cycle accessory.
I
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 :-
First: An instrument or apparatus for the use of cyclists, comprising a tyre
detacher or stripper and a repairing outfit or like receptacle, the former consisting
of a detachable or fixed stem, suitably shaped at the fore end, and the latter
consisting of a barrel, box or casing with one end closed by a removable screw
cap or lid, which said casing constitutes a handle or lever for the tyre detacher
when connected therewith, substantially as described and set forth.
Secondly: A combined tyre stripper and cyclists requisite receptacle, consisting
of a stem with a bent or curved tongue at one end and screwed at the other end
to take into a screw. socket formed in the fixed end cap of a cylindrical or tubular.
receptacle, the other end of which is screwed to take a removable cover or cap,
said casing being adapted to contain materials for repairing pneumatic tyres or
other small cycling requisites, substantially as described and set forth.
