Patent ID: 7862065

Claim:
An adjustable length hand pump removably mountable to a bicycle frame between opposing spaced first and second bicycle frame members, said hand pump comprising: a barrel having a longitudinal axis, an internal cylinder, a first end and a second end; a head disposed on and movable relative to said first end of said barrel between a normally axially biased extended position and a shortened axially compressed position; a piston moveable within said cylinder; a piston rod connected at a proximal end to said piston; a handle connected to a distal end of said piston rod, said handle selectively, longitudinally, adjustably lockable relative to said barrel such that a first length of the pump, from an end of said head in said normally axially extended position to an end of said handle in said selectively longitudinally locked position, is greater than a distance between the opposing spaced first and second bicycle frame members to which the pump is to be mounted; whereby, upon applying a force sufficient to compress said head to said shortened axially compressed position, a second length of the pump is less than the distance between the opposing spaced first and second bicycle frame members so as to permit the pump to be positioned therebetween, and, upon release of said force, the pump is removably mounted to the bicycle frame between the opposing spaced first and second bicycle frame members.
