GEORGE ROBERT FERRIS, 42, Bagshot Street, Walworth, S.E., London, Cycle
Maker, 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:-
The invention consists of 2 round tubes the ends of which screw into one
another one tube for holding patches used in repairing punctures in tyres and the
other tube containing solution also a detachable tyre lever & chalk tube, which
are attached to one another by a screwed collar on chalk tube & into which is
scrowed the tyre lever.
The difference between that for the pocket and the one for the air pump is
that the latter has got an open screwed end which screws on end of pump, while
the former has a closed end.
To enable my invention to be more readily understood I will now proceed to
describe the same by means of the accompanying drawing in which :-
Fig. 1, is a part sectional elevation of my improvements in combination with
Dump.

page_text: Fig. 2, is a plan the end cap being removed.
Fig. 3, is a view shewing my invention when intended for the pocket.
Fig. 4, is a part sectional elevation of chalk tube.
Fig. 5, is a view of tyre lever mounted ready for use.
In the drawing, 1, is a tubular receptacle, formed of metal, or any other suit-
able material, which when used in combination with a pump, see Fig. 1, is stopped
at one end with a cap or cover 2, an internal thread 3, being formed upon the
other end. A similar but shorter receptacle or patch box 4, stopped at one end
by means of a cap, cover, or the like, 21, is screwed at both ends. The screw
formed upon the stopped end of the portion 4, engaging with the internal thread
upon receptacle 1, as shewn. The internal thread 3', upon the open end of the
receptacle 4, engages with a thread cut upon the closed end of the pump 5.
When intended for the pocket the receptacle or patch box 4, is internally
screwed as at 31, and engages with an external screw upon one end of the
receptacle 1, the opposite end being closed with a cover 211, screwed or
otherwise formed or fastened as shewn, see Fig. 3. Within the receptacle
Ol' magazine I may place suitable accessories, such for instance as the
tyre lever 6, chalk tube 7, and tube of solution 10. For the sake of compactness
I prefer to form the chalk tube 7, of metallic or other tubing 8, and fit one end
with a collar 12, screwed as at 13, the tyre lifter 6, being threaded us at 14, to
The reverse end of the

tube 8, is fitted with a screwed or sliding cap 9, see Fig. 5.
I fill the receptacle 4, with rubber patches 11, for repairing punctures.
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:
-
1
1, The improved repairing outfit containing cycle accessories, combined with
an inflator pump or otherwise, formed and operating as set forth.
2, In apparatus for holding cycle accessories combined with a pump or other-
wise the particular construction whereby the short tube or patch box 4, is employed
for connecting the receptacle 1, with the pump 5, as in Fig. 1, as well as closing
the end of it as in Fig. 3.
3, The use and employment of apparatus formed as described and fitted or not
to a cycle pump for carrying repairing patches, solution and a combined tyre
lever and chalk tube.
