PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Pneumatic Tires for Carriages, Motor
Cars and like Vehicles.
I, ROBERT ADAMS HALL, Schoolmaster, of 113, Brighton Grove, in the City
and County of Newcastle-on-Tyne, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
My invention relates to pneumatic tires for carriages, motor cars and like
vehicles.
The invention consists in securing the tire to the rim by a series of centrally
arranged connectors, whereby creeping and side strain effects are effectually
obviated.
In carrying the invention into practice, according to one way, I, as usual,
enclose the inflatable tube in a rubber or similar cover lined with, and fixed
to, canvas or other suitable fabric or material. Instead of the extremities of the
lining terminating at or about the edges of the rim the present custom---I
employ a lining of such a length that its edges reach beyond the centre of the rim
whereat I overlap them and hole them at convenient intervals to receive bolts,
rivets or fixing members inserted through corresponding holes at the centre of
the rim thus the desired fixture is efficiently obtained.
The rim may be of any fitting form, but preferably of the crescent type with
large globular edges to obtain the maximum of resiliency and the minimum risk
of damage to the tire by chafing against curb stones. The inner ends or heads
of the bolts, rivets or their equivalent are countersunk or formed large and flat
or otherwise adapted to procure flushness and prevent damage to the inflation
tube.
From the foregoing, it will be apparent that creeping is entirely avoided by
the connectors, which also, due to their location, completely nullify any tendency
of the tire to roll or be wrenched out of place, which disadvantages are inherent
to the known modes of attaching tires.

described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention relates to pneumatic tires for carriages, motor cars and like
vehicles.
The invention consists in securing the tire to the rim by a series of centrally
arranged connectors, whereby creeping and side strain effects are effectually
obviated.
I will now fully describe my invention in reference to the accompanying
drawing, which represents a cross section of a tire embodying it.
In carrying my invention into practice, I, as usual, enclose the inflatable
tube A in a rubber or similar cover B lined with, and fixed to, canvas or other
suitable fabric or material C. Instead of the extremities of the lining C ter-
al
minating at or about the edges of the rim the present custom-I employ
lining of such a length that its edges c, e reach beyond the centre of the rim D
whereat I overlap them and hole them at convenient intervals to receive bolts,
rivets or fixing members E inserted through corresponding holes at the centre
of the rim D; thus the desired fixture is efficiently obtained.
The rim D may be of any fitting form, but preferably, as illustrated, of the
crescent type with large globular edges d, d to obtain the maximum of resiliency
and the minimum risk of damage to the tire by chafing against curb stones. The
inner ends or heads of the bolts, rivets or their equivalent E are formed large
and flat, as represented, or otherwise adapted to procure flushness, and prevent
damage to the inflation tube.
From the foregoing it will be apparent that creeping is entirely avoided by
the connectors E, which also, due to their location, completely nullify any
tendency of the tire to roll or be wrenched out of place, which disadvantages
are inherent to the known modes of attaching tires.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is: :―
Securing a pneumatic tire to the rim of a wheel by a series of centrally arranged
connectors, bolts or rivets, substantially as described.
