Pump for a Two Wheeler Tire

Abstract

A pump for a two wheeler tire comprises: a cylinder-piston unit for generating compressed air that can be used to inflate a two wheeler tire; a pump head that comprises a connecting mechanism for connecting to a valve of the two wheeler tire; a tube that connects the pump head to the cylinder-piston unit; a pedal mechanism that enables an actuation of the cylinder-piston unit; a receiving element in which the tube can be disposed in a storage position; and a manometer around which the tube extends in the storage position. The tube connecting the pump head to the cylinder-piston unit is designed so as to be spiral shaped.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pump for a two wheeler tire, comprising:
 a cylinder-piston unit to generate compressed air to inflate a two wheeler tire;   a pump head comprising a connecting mechanism that connects the pump head to a valve of a two wheeler tire;   a tube connecting the pump head to the cylinder-piston unit, wherein the tube is spiral shaped;   a pedal mechanism to actuate the cylinder-piston unit;   a receiving element into which the tube is disposed in a storage position, and   a manometer around which the tube extends in the storage position.   
     
     
         2 . The pump of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the receiving element is configured as an annular space that extends around the manometer, and   the tube is disposed in the annular space in the storage position.   
     
     
         3 . The pump of  claim 1 , wherein the tube, in the storage position, extends around the manometer in a plurality of loops. 
     
     
         4 . The pump of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the pedal mechanism comprises two housing members that are pivotably attached to one another, and   the cylinder-piston unit is actuated through a movement of the two housing members relative to one another.   
     
     
         5 . The pump of  claim 4 , wherein a first of the two housing members is a base member configured to rest on the ground. 
     
     
         6 . The pump of  claim 5 , wherein a second of the two housing members is moveable from a first position which extends from the first housing member at an angle other than 0° and other than 180° to a second position which rests at least partially on the first housing member. 
     
     
         7 . The pump of  claim 6 , wherein the second of the two housing members in the first position extends from the first housing member at an angle between 30° and 90°. 
     
     
         8 . The pump of  claim 6 , wherein the second of the two housing members comprises a recess through which the manometer and/or the cylinder-piston unit extend at least partially. 
     
     
         9 . The pump of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a cover that at least partially closes the recess of the second housing member in the second position of the second housing member.   
     
     
         10 . The pump of  claim 9 , wherein the cover is arranged on the receiving element or, in the alternative, extends away from the receiving element.
