  • Publication number: 20230219384
    Abstract: A tire lever head physically adapted to couple to an end of a 16-gram or 25-gram CO2 cartridge, but to not pierce the CO2 cartridge. Rather than using the CO2 cartridge for its nominally intended purpose of inflating a tire or tube, the tire-lever head functions as the handle portion of a tire lever. That is, the CO2 cartridge is gripped by a user, and is manipulated to apply the force that is required for tire removal/installation.

  • Patent number: 11612997
    Abstract: A bicycle workstation that is removably suspended in a doorway when in use includes several elongate members that collectively provide at least three contact surfaces, and an additional elongate member that, in the illustrative embodiment, couples to a clamp suitable for clamping to a part of a bicycle. The contact surfaces are arranged such that the weight of the bicycle forces them against a wall, door frame, and moulding on both sides of the doorway, thereby securely suspending the bicycle workstation, and the bicycle clamped to it.
