I JAMES EDWARD HOUGH of 11 Arthur Road, Stoke Newington, in the
County of London, Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
:-
This invention consists principally of making the tyre with a single or a double
overlap at the meeting edges and having in connection with such edge or edges a
flat or a couple of flat bodies on the exterior preferably with tooth like projections
to engage and lock one flat body to the other and thereby secure the meeting parts
in close contact said flat body or bodies being shaped or moulded or affixed to the
rubber constituting the tyre and of such size that it or they can be lodged in a
channel formed in the "
rim as a means of uniting one to the other and to prevent

The tyre produced by this invention is intended to cover an ordinary pneumatic
tube and the texture of the rubber forming the cover and the flat body may vary.
