## CPC

- F04B 33/005: {specially adapted for inflating tyres of non-motorised vehicles, e.g. cycles, tricycles}
- F04B: POSITIVE-DISPLACEMENT MACHINES FOR LIQUIDS; PUMPS (machines for liquids, or pumps, of rotary-piston or oscillating-piston type F04C; non-positive-displacement pumps F04D; pumping of fluid by direct contact of another fluid or by using inertia of fluid to be pumped F04F)

## Abstract

A bicycle pump includes a cylindrical body in which a rod disposes. The rod is moveable inside the cylindrical body. A clip is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body. The clip includes a first clipping portion provided to allow insertion of the cylindrical body. The clip also has a second clipping portion defined on the periphery of the first clipping portion. A head is connected to the rod. The head also includes a hooking element thereon. A handle is pivotally connected to the head. A base is attached to the cylindrical body and includes a footstand on which the user can step to anchor the bicycle pump. The base also includes a hose. The hose has a length that is about twice as long as the cylindrical body. The hose is adapted be hanged by the hooking element and receivable by the second clipping portion.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A bicycle pump comprising:
a cylindrical body including a rod disposed therein, with said rod being moveable inside said cylindrical body, and with said rod having a portion exposed outside said cylindrical body;
a clip including a first clipping portion engaged with outer peripheral surface of said cylindrical body and a second clipping portion on the periphery of the first clipping portion, and with said second clipping portion;
a head, with said head being threadly connected to said rod, and with said head including a hooking element formed thereon;
a handle pivotally connected to said head, with said handle having an open compartment, and with said head receivable in said open compartment; and
a base connected to said cylindrical body, with said base including a hose attached thereto, with said hose being hanged at said hooking element at about the middle of its length, and with said hose receivable in said second clipping portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A bicycle pump as claimed in claim 1 wherein said hose has a length that is about twice as long as said cylindrical body.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A bicycle pump as claimed in claim 1 wherein said handle is moveable between a first position and a second position, wherein in said first position said head is in an alignment with said handle, and in said second position said head is perpendicular to said handle.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

A bicycle pump as claimed in claim 3 wherein said handle includes a protuberance defined thereof, said first end of said cylindrical body includes an indentation disposed about the peripheral surface thereof, and said protuberance is receivable in said indentation when said handle is in the first position.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A bicycle pump as claimed in claim 1 wherein said base includes a footstand on which the user can step to anchor the pump for stable pumping action.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

A bicycle pump as claimed in claim 1 wherein said head includes a cavity disposed therein, with said cavity extending longitudinally from an end thereof for receiving said rod.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

A bicycle pump as claimed in claim 6 wherein said head is configured to have a bottom that is coaxial to the cavity.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

A bicycle pump as claimed in claim 6 wherein said head includes a tube, with said handle pivotably connecting to said head at said tube.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

A bicycle pump as claimed in claim 1 wherein said second clipping portion is substantially C-shaped.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

A bicycle pump as claimed in claim 1 wherein said head has a substantially conical shape.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

A bicycle pump as claimed in claim 1 wherein the base includes a pivotally connection head, with said hose being attached to the connection head.
