Valve bumper provides air-tight seal and cushioning when pressure is applied to bike valve.

Provides further sealing and allows valve cap to fit tightly to slider.

CNC steel valve slider with extrusion allowed air to pass through from Co2 canister to main housing to bike tyre.

Three injection moulded rubber seals provide airtight seal.

Steel spring keeps Co2 from leaking out when pump is not in use.

Injection Moulded ABS Cap emulates spray can.

CNC Steel provides main housing for pump mechanism. Extrusion at 10 degree angle provides ergonomic pumping

Aluminum canister with pressurised Co2.

Grooves in the mechanical housing allow the overmoulded cap snap in place holding the two securely together without any form of adhesive.

Locked ProfileThe spring applies pressure outwards keeping Co2 from escaping. Silicone seals keep the mechanism airtight.

Open ProfileWhen pressure is applied on the the bicycle valve.the valvue slider opening comes into contact with the main housing releas-ing the Co2.

1:1 Scale Drawing VALVE SLIDER The sole moving part in the AEOLUS pump. The CNC Valve slider with an extruded centre allows air to pass through it from

the Co2 Canister to the bicycle tyre. Grooves along the body allow for the vari-

ous sizes seals to fit firmly and prevent escaping air.

RUBBER SEALS Essential to keep the whole system air tight, the seals not only allow the valve slider to move smoothly through the pump-ing mechanism, but allow areas in the pump to remained sealed off whennot in use. There are a total of 4 ringed seals in AEOLUS, without them, the wholesystem would fail.

LOCKING SPACER This essential component is the final peice in the puzzle, the one component that holds the whole mechanism together.

Clipped into the valve slider when in place, the steel locking spacer stops the spring from pushing the valve slider out of the main pump housing and the whole system becoming undone.

Slide out decal panel allows store owners to change the product the stand holds easily. The card on the decal panel is the same as that of the AEOLUS packaging, eco-friendly and bio-degradable.

Keeping with the sustainability direction of the packaging, Soy

based inks will be used for printing on the card. The soy inks dry slower than conventional petroleum based inks yet once dry have the same vibrancy in color and can cause no hard to the environment upon disposal. Their biodegradability means that along with the card, they can be disposed and for-gotten.

TWIST TO FASTENThe simple card packaging is held onto the product by the AEOLUS iitself. The canister housing is inserted into the circular opening in the packaging. The top cap is then placed ontop and twisted into place. The two facing packag-ing panels are then stapled together.
