ABSTRACT:
A device (10) for inflating an object such as a ball (B) includes spaced arms (13, 14) carried by a bar (12). The arms (13, 14) are spaced a predetermined distance approximating the properly inflated diameter of the ball (B). An inflation needle (24) is positioned generally midway between the arms (13, 14) and is adapted to provide air under pressure, received through flexible tubing (26), to the ball (B). A clamp bar (28) is pivotally attached to one of the arms (13, 14) and has an aperture (33) therethrough to receive the tubing (26). When the ball (B) is being inflated, it will engage and pivot the clamp bar (28) until it pinches the tubing (26) to terminate the air flow to the needle (24).
