PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Handle Bar and Inflator for Cycles, Motor Cars,
and the like.
FRANCIS GEDDES Red House Ascot Clerk GEORGE FREDERICK JENKINS
Chemist's Assistant Rose Cottage Ascot do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention is the making of the handle bar of bicycle, tricycle motor cycle,
motor car ctc. for inflating pneumatic tyres. The handle bar is divided in the
centre, and one half is brazed into fitting, the other is fitted with an inflator, the
inflator is placed into handle bar as far as space will allow, then soldered and made
a fixture the part of inflator which does not go into the handle bar into which it is
brazed lies inside of the other half the nozzle tubing being screwed on end of
same, a piece of rubber is fixed on end of rubber tubing to prevent rattle from
oscillation. The inflator used is of no particular kind, as any pattern will suit
according to size the mode of attaching the half that contains inflator is by the
fitting which acts as clip the clip being tightened by a "set" or "thumb screw,"
on end of same handle bar there is a "steel feather" brazed on of sufficient length,
which fits into a groove of clip, and thereby keeps "handle bar" in position when
attached.

A Combined Handle Bar and Inflator for Cycles, Motor Cars,
and the like.
We, FRANCIS GEDDES, of Red House, Ascot, Clerk, and GEORGE FREDERICK
JENKINS, of Rose Cottage, Ascot, Chemist's Assistant, both in the County of
Berkshire, do bereby 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 combined handle bar and inflator, which consists of
making the handle bar of a bicycle, tricycle, motor cycle, motor car and the like
for inflating pneumatic tyres.
And in order that our invention may be thoroughly understood, we now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is a front view of a cycle handle bar.
Fig. 2, is a plan of the top of Fig. 1.
Fig 3 is a front view of the inflator and one side of the handle bar.

page_text: Fig. 4, is a view of the recess in which the inflator is inserted drawn to an
enlarged scale.
Fig. 5, is a back view of the T fitting and clip with set screw.
In carrying our invention into practice the handle bar a is divided in the centre
herein termed the "inflator bandle" and the other half of the handle bar bis
soldered or brazed into a T fitting c. The handle bar a is fitted with an inflator d
this said inflator d is placed into the handle bar a (described by dotted lines in
Fig. 2,) as far as the space will allow and made a fixture, the part of inflator which
does not go into the handle har b is inside the handle bar a the tubing being
screwed on the end of same. A piece of india rubber e is fixed on the end f to
prevent rattling in the tube of the handle bar b from oscillation. The inflator d is
of no particular kind as any pattern inflator may be used. The mode of attaching
the half of the handle bar a containing the inflator is by means of the T fitting c
which is provided with a clip g which is partly divided from the main fitting at h
and a set screw i this said portion engages with a key; fixed on the inflator handle
bar a so that by tightening up the set screw i holds the bar in a rigid position as
in Figs. 1, and 2.
The steel key jis of sufficient length which fits into the groove k of the clip g
thereby keeping the handle bar in position when attached.
If preferable in working out our invention we may either use the right or left
hand side of the handle bar for the inflator herein before described of any shape.
Also the clip g may be of various shapes..
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we hereby declare that
what we claim is :-
1. In a cycle or motor handle bar, the combination of the handle bar 6 inflator
handle bar a fitting c inflator d clip a groove k key j and set screw i, substantially
as herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In a cycle handle bar, the combination of an inflator handle bar, substantially
as herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
3. In a cycle handle bar, the combination of the various parts substantially as
above described in this specification and for the purpose specified.
Dated this 11th day of December 1896.
