Bicycle Tire Pump

Abstract

A pump that includes a body having a base and a top portion, wherein the base is configured to be anchored to the ground and the top portion is detachably connected to an upper plate in the body. The pump includes a handle assembly including a piston rod, handle bar, and cap that are detachably connected to each other by a fastener. The pump includes a tube positioned in the body. The tube slidably receives the piston rod and is connected to an air line. A hose is connected to the air line and extends from the body. The hose has a head configured to engage the nozzle of a tire. When the piston rod is moved downward within the tube, air is displaced from the tube and through the air line to the hose such that the head dispenses air.

1 . A pump for inflating tires with air, comprising:
 a body having a top portion, wherein the body is configured to be anchored to another structure and the top portion is detachably connected to an upper plate that extends from an inner wall of the body;   a handle assembly including a piston rod and a handle bar;   a tube positioned in said body, said tube receiving said piston rod such that a piston mounted on the piston rod slides in the tube and said tube being connected to an air line; and   a hose connected to said air line and extending from said body, said hose having a head configured to engage a nozzle of a tire;   wherein, when said piston rod is moved downward within said tube, air is displaced from said tube and through said air line to said hose such that said head dispenses air.   
     
     
         2 . The pump of  claim 1 , wherein the air line comprises (a) a first air line portion that is connected at a first end to the fitting extending from the tube and that is connected at a second end to a check valve and (b) a second air line portion that is connected at another first end to the check valve and that is connected at another second end to the adaptor connected to the hose. 
     
     
         3 . The pump of  claim 1 , wherein the hose is threadably connected to the adapter that is connected to the air line. 
     
     
         4 . The pump of  claim 3 , wherein a portion of the hose is made of threaded metal. 
     
     
         5 . The pump of  claim 1 , wherein the piston rod includes two flexible gaskets that each form a seal with an interior wall of the tube. 
     
     
         6 . The pump of  claim 1 , wherein the body, handle bar, piston rod, and tube are each made of either steel or aluminum. 
     
     
         7 . The pump of  claim 1 , wherein the handle assembly includes rubber grips that are slidably mounted to the handle bar. 
     
     
         8 . The pump of  claim 1 , wherein the body is open at a bottom end thereof to provide access to the tube inside the body. 
     
     
         9 . The pump of  claim 1 , wherein the head magnetically connects to the body. 
     
     
         10 . The pump of  claim 1 , wherein the tube rests on the lower plate. 
     
     
         11 . A pump for inflating tires with air, comprising:
 a body having top portion, wherein the body is configured to be anchored to another structure and the top portion is detachably connected to the body by a fastener;   a handle assembly including a piston rod and a handle bar;   a tube positioned in the body and supported by a plate that extends from an inner wall of the body, the tube receiving the piston rod such that a piston mounted on the piston rod slides in the tube and the tube being connected to an air line via a fitting extending from below the plate into a gap between the plate and a bottom of the body, wherein the air line includes a flexible tube and extends from the fitting to an adapter located proximate the top portion; and   a hose connected to the air line via the adapter and extending from the body, the hose having a head configured to engage a nozzle of a tire;   wherein, when the piston rod is moved downward within the tube, air is displaced from the tube and through the air line to the hose such that the head dispenses air.   
     
     
         12 . The pump of  claim 11 , wherein the air line comprises (a) a first air line portion that is connected at a first end to the fitting extending from the tube and that is connected at a second end to a check valve and (b) a second air line portion that is connected at another first end to the check valve and that is connected at another second end to the adaptor connected to the hose. 
     
     
         13 . The pump of  claim 11 , wherein the hose is threadably connected to the adapter that is connected to the air line. 
     
     
         14 . The pump of  claim 13 , wherein a portion of the hose is made of threaded metal. 
     
     
         15 . The pump of  claim 11 , wherein the piston includes two flexible gaskets that each form a seal with an interior wall of the tube. 
     
     
         16 . The pump of  claim 11 , wherein the body, handle bar, piston rod, and tube are each made of either steel or aluminum. 
     
     
         17 . The pump of  claim 11 , wherein the handle assembly includes rubber grips that are slidably mounted to the handle bar. 
     
     
         18 . The pump of  claim 11 , wherein the body is open at the bottom to provide access to the tube inside the body. 
     
     
         19 . The pump of  claim 11 , wherein the head magnetically connects to the body. 
     
     
         20 . The pump of  claim 11 , wherein the tube rests on the plate.
