Taking his inspiration from autorno-
bile tires, and going the ordinary rub
Der heel one better, Oscar Nussinan
of New York city has invented pneu-
matte tire for his own shoes. The
tire" differs very decidedly from the
ordinary heels In that partition of
rubber is built in Ii half way up its
thickness The partition thus forms
an air chamber with the bottom of the
leather above IL, and still another one
with the ground when the heel comes
down upon Il, explains the Popular
Science Monthly. Each Of these two
chambers Is connected with the out
side air by a small opening. When the
heel strikes the ground, the air in the
chambers becomes slightly compressed,
causing the Jolt OF the walking to be
very greatly cushioned In a manner
very much similar to that In which the
automobile tire cushions the jolts of
riding. To prevent the air from be-
coming too suddenly compressed and
so putting the bottom OF the heels out
Of shape, the air Is allowed TO escape
slowly through the openings.
