A Proteoting Band for Pneumatic Tyres of Oycles and other
Vehioles.
1, FREDERICK WILLIAM GOLBY, of 36 Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by Rudolph
Odehnal, of Cassel, Hesse-Nassen, Germany, Royal Actor, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of the present invention is a protecting band provided with layers of
leather or other suitable material, which is laid between the air tube and the
cover of velocipede and other pneumatic tyres, and the object of which is to
protect the air tube from sharp, pointed, or other objects which easily penetrate
the cover from outside and injure the air tube.
In the accompanying drawing, a protecting band of the kind is illustrated with
leather layers arranged in different ways;
Fig. 1 is a section of a velocipedo tyre with the protecting band oxposed, the band
being furnished with simple leather layers.
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of a protecting band furnishod with layers of
leather formed of several pieces lying one above the other; and Fig. 3 is a ground
plan of the same.
Fig. 4 is a section through a protecting band furnished with layers of leather
formed of several pieces lying next to and over each other; and Fig. 5 is a plan of
the same.
The protecting band consists of a girth or band a, which is laid between the
cover and the air tube c. This protecting band is furnished with layers d, each
of which is composed of one piece of leather and fastened to the band a in the
manner illustrated in Fig. 1.
In the second form, (shown in Figs. 2, & 3), the layers d are not composed of a
single piece of leather, but are formed of several thin layers laid one above the
other, which fill out the whole width of the protecting band.
The ends of the leather layers d' are bevelled off as well at the fastening point g
as at the free part h where the layer is laid on.
In the third form (shown in Figs. 4 and 5) the layers 2 are formed of several
picces lying one over the other and are divided, so that the width of the band a
is formed not of one layer but of several layers lying next to and above one
another.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :---
1. A protecting band for pneumatic tyres to be laid between the cover and the
air tube of the velocipede or other tyre, consisting of a band or girth a and of the
layers & composed of leather or other suitable material to be fastened to the band
or girth substantially as described with reference to Fig. 1 of the accompanying
drawings..
2. The modification of the protecting band indicated in Claim 1 hereof and which
consists in forming the band or girth a of several layers lying one over the other,

page_text: and wbich occupy the whole width of the band substantially as described with
reference to Figs. 2 to 3 of the accompanying drawings.
3. The modification of the protecting band indicated in Claim 1 hereof and
which consists in forming the band or girth a of several layers d 2 lying next to
and over one another, laid on in the manner indicated in Claim 2 hereof
substantially as described with reference to Figs. 4 to 5 of the accompanying
drawings.
