In Built Air-Pump in a Bi-cycle

  • Dr. Nagaraj Patil

Abstract

Every vehicle while travelling uses the tires to travel and the tires uses the air to keep floated and bear the stresses due the reaction between the road and the weight of the vehicle. Vehicles from a bi-cycle to the heavy loaded trucks uses the air in the tires. As a bicycle is made up of straight hollow pipes. These pipes can be used to work as an air pump. These pipes make the outer body of the air pump in which the piston and a rod makes the translator motion in up and down direction. The pumping action of the piston can be made with the help of the seat acting the handle of the air pump and the pumped air is made to pass to the tires with the use of a flexible hose pipe with pressure gauge or without pressure gauge. Thus it fulfills the need of an air pump required for travelling for a long distance. A stopper pin is provided to make the seat fixed while traveling and to act as handle after removing the pin to press the pump.
