To all 'whom i may conce-m.'

` hereb declare, the followinN to' Be it known that I, @scan M. Ennosrscar, a citizencf the United States, residing Minneapolis, 1n the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, -have' invented .certa-in new and useful lm rorelnents in Pumiini Attachments for Automobiles;f .andv .l do he aull, clear, and exact description of the-invention, such as vwill enable others skilled in the er@ to which it .appertains tomake and '-usezthe same.l

My invention Ghas :for itsiz'oloject tol prof.'

vide a simple," convenient and highlyr eflil' cient air pump adapted to be applied to and operated frein one of an automobile.

To the above ends,t.l1e

Referring to the" drawings: Figure' l isa diagrammatic fragmentary View, showing my improved pumpapplied to an automobile; 'and Fig. 2 tion, and partly line m2 of Fig.

Gf the parte of the automobile, it is, for

the 'purposes of this case, only desirable toparticularly note the running board l and -onc of the rear or traction Wheels 2, which latter is provided on its hub 3 with the customary hub cap 4. A

My improved pump as preferably constructed` comprises two axially alined cyl'-A working one in inders :3 aud-two pistons 6,

connected by a cachot' said cylinders. and laterally offset tie bar 7 cast, integralztherewith. The two cylinders 5, at their inner ends, are cast integral wit-l1 the sections 8 of a crank shaft casing, which latter is provided with joint. flanges 9 ri'idly vbut detachably conneted oy suitaile bolts or screws. The crank shaft casing 8, at its inner side, is formed with a laterally offset. internally.concaved flange l0, which constitutes an outer hall runway formed part in ""At'their outer ends, the cylinders 5 are provided with rigidly secured heads 1 1 proinvention consists,

This crank disk 21 is formed 'with .a laterally projecting semi-cylindrical clamping fla-nge 23 thatl is adapted to fit the exterior surface of hub cap 4. A U-shaped clam ing bolt or yoke '24 is provided with reduces threaded ends that work through lugs of theA clamping flange 23, and are provided with nuts which when tightenei-clemp 'the yoke 24 and flan e 23 rigidly onto the heb cap 1, and there y rigidly but detachably secure the crank disk 21 to the Wheel hub 3l As is evident, Aif the Wheel 2 be rotated while the pump is heldagainst rotation, said directly piyotedto' pump will be thrownv into action' and airv will be pumped fronrthe cylindersutward through the pipe 13 and tube 15, Whichilts: ter at its free end, will, in practice, be'prof vided with a suitable coupling, not shown,
