the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention which is illustrated by the annexed drawings, Figs. 1, 2 and 3,

thin walls, an inner hoop or ring A having in section approximately a V or Y form
(see Fig. 3). In the hollow of this inner hoop or ring A are inserted wooden pegs
or pins E, E, intended to receive metallic pins or pointed wires (Fig. 3) for fixing
the outer hoop or tyre B when it is formed by a thong or strap whose ends aro
cut and scarfed and united by means of glue so that it surrounds the inner hoop
or ring.
From the compound hoop constituted as above by the combination of an inner
hoop or ring A and an outer hoop or tyre B of suitable material are suspended by
means of caps or clamping pieces the bells D, D.
