Abstract

Abstract An adjustable securement ring to secure a bicycle pump on a bicycle having a securing element and a retarding element. The securing element has a retaining body which has a cone-shaped protrusion for sustaining a distal end of the pump. An elongate strip protrudes from the bottom end of the retaining body and make a loop to go back through a channel provided on the lower portion of the retaining body. A plurality of protuberances are provided on the outer surface of the elongate strip along its length. The retarding element has upper and lower plates which are connected to each other by a connector. A tenon provided on the lower surface of the upper plate prevents the escape of the retarding element from the retaining body and lugs provided on the lower surface of the lower plate to retain the protuberances in the channel when the retarding element lodges in the securing element.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 278 words
An adjustable securement ring for securing a bicycle pump on a bicycle comprising a securing element (1) and a retarding means (2), wherein: said securing element (1) has a retaining body (11) comprising a cone-shaped protrusion (111) for sustaining a distal end of said bicycle pump; a passage (12) is formed beneath said protrusion (111) to facilitate an assembly of said retarding means (2) thereon; an elongate strip (14) protrudes from a bottom end of said retaining body (11) and make a loop to go back through a channel (15) provided on a lower portion, proximate to said passage (12), of said retaining body (11); a wall (19) between said passage (12) and said channel (15) is receded to form a recess (16) to receive said retarding means (2); and a plurality of spaced protuberances (17) are provided on an outer surface of a strap portion of said elongate strip (14) along its length; and said retaining means (2) has upper and lower plates (21, 22) which are connected to each other by a connector (23); a pair of wing-like elements (24) are laterally provided on said connector (23) to keep said retarding means (2) to horizontally reciprocate along said passage (12) when said retarding means lodges in said recess (16) with said wing-like elements (24) housed in slots (161) proximate to said recess (16); a tenon (210) is provided on a lower side of said upper plate (21) to prevent an escape of said retarding means (2) from said securing element (1); and lugs (220, 221) are provided on a lower side of said lower plate (22) to retain said strap portion of said elongate strip (14).
