Hence, unless the user brings a flashlight or something similar, she/he must operate the bicycle pump to fill air into the tire in the dark at night by using her/his hands to feel the way because of poor visibility. However, depending on poor road conditions, it will be very difficult to maintain the correct pressure filled into the tire thereby often causing flat tire when traveling. [0005]It is expected that the bicycle pump should be lightweight and simple in construction. It should not does not have any unnecessary attachments. A bicycle pump with a pressure gauge is an inevitable equipment for a bicycle rider who has to travel for a long distance. Nevertheless, none of the bicycle pumps on the market can fulfill the need for using at night. [0006]Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved bicycle pump which can obviate and mitigate the above-mentioned drawbacks. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007]This invention is related to a bicycle pump which can be used in the dark. [0008]It is the primary object of the present invention to provide a bicycle pump which includes a pump portion, a nozzle and a pressure gauge mounted on the body portion, the pressure gauge having an inlet connected to a lower end of the pump body and an outlet connected to the nozzle, characterized in that the pressure gauge is provided with a first illuminating means, and the nozzle is provided with a second illuminating means therein. [0009]It is another object of the present invention to provide a bicycle pump wherein the nozzle has an upper end provided with an illuminating seat in which is fitted the second illuminating means, and the illuminating seat has a cover engageable with one side of the nozzle and the rear end of the illuminating seat being provided with a switch for controlling power supplied from batteries to the second illuminating means. [0010]It is a further object of the present invention to provide a bicycle pump wherein the pressure gauge has a housing in which are installed a plurality of batteries kept within the housing by a battery cover via a screw, the first illuminating means having two illuminating elements mounted at two opposite positions in the housing and connected to the switch, the switch having an upper end extending upwardly through a top of the housing. [0011]The foregoing objects and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification and drawings identical reference numerals refer to identical or similar parts. [0012]Many other advantages and features of the present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying sheets of drawings in which a preferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of the present invention is shown by way of illustrative example.
