Complete Specification Left, 21st Oct., 1893-Accepted, 25th Nov., 1893
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Wheel Tires:
-I, OCTAVE LAGARIE, of the City of Hamilton, in the County of Wentworth,
Province of Ontario, Canada, Carriage Blacksmith, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved wheel tire, adapted for cycles, buggys,
sulkyes, and light vehicles in general, and consists of a hard wood rim, metallic
tire, pneumatic tire, and metallic circular plates having flared side flanges, all
being attached together as delineated; the objects of my improvements are, first,
to provide a light substantial wheel with pneumatic tire substantially secured
thereto, and second, to afford facilities for the easy removal of the pneumatic tire
from the wheel, which is then capable of being used either with, or without the
side plates for all purposes for which light wheels are intended.
Reference being made to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1, is a section of my invention showing manner and device of securing
inflated pneumatic rubber tire to the sides of the rim of a wheel.
Figure 2 is a section of the rim of wheel with metallic tire, also concave groove
on each side, to admit the convex of the interior side of the pneumatic rubber
tire.
Figure 3 is a section' of the wheel rim as it appears when pneumatic rubber tire
is removed.
The wood rim of the wheel is indicated by A, and the pneumatic rubber tire
by B. This rim has concave grooves running around both sides of the rim, and are
intended to admit the convex projection of the rubber tire, when the same is in
position as at. 2, in Figure 1, and held by means of the two circular metallic. side
plates C, having flanges 4, and are secured in position by means of side screws 3.
These side plates are bent, or formed with flanges 4, said flanges being very
important as regards providing upper and outer side supports and protection to
the rubber tire.
D, is a metallic tire, and is secured onto, and around the outer diametrical line
of the wood rim A, by means of screws 5.
A
very important feature in my invention, is the fact of the wheel being in a
complete shape for running with rubber tire secured thereto, or the said rubber
tire removed, when the wheel is complete, with or without the side plates.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Wheel Tires.
OCTAVE LAGARIE of the City of Hamilton, in the County of Wentworth,
Province of Ontario, Canada, Carriage Blacksmith, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improved wheel tire, adapted for cycles, buggies,
sulkys, and light vehicles in general, and consists of a hard wood.rim, metallic tire,
pneumatic tire and metallic circular plates, having flared side flanges, all being
attached together as delineated. The objects of my improvements are, first, to
provide a light substantial wheel with pneumatic tire substantially secured thereto,
Price &

page_text: and second, to afford facilities for the easy removal of the pneumatic tire from the
wheel, which is then capable of being used either with or without the side plates,
for all purposes to which light wheels are intended. The drawings being left with
the Provisional Specification.
Figure 1 is a section of my invention showing manner and device of securing
pneumatic rubber tire to the sides of the rim of a wheel.
Figure 2 is a section of the rim of wheel with metallic tire, also concave
groove on each side to admit the convex of the interior side of the pneumatic tire.
Figure 3 is a section of the wheel rim, as it appears when pneumatic rubber tire
is removed.
The wood rim of the wheel is indicated by the letter A, and the pneumatic tire
which encompasses and surrounds the sides and outer part of said rim, and secured
to the sides thereof, is indicated by the letter B. This rim A has concave grooves
running round both sides of the rim, which are intended to admit the convex
projection of the rubber tire, when the same is in position as at, 2, in Figure 1,
and held by means of the two circular metallic plates, C, having flanges indicated
by, 4, and are secured in position by means of side screws indicated by, 3.
These side plates are bent, or formed with an annular flange 4, as before
mentioned, said flanges being very important as regards forming upper and outer
side bearings, supports and protection to the rubber tire.
I) is a metallic tire, or band, and is secured onto and around the outer diametrical
line of the wood rim A, by means of screws, 5.
A very important feature in. this invention, is the fact of the wheel being in a
complete shape for running with pneumatic tire secured thereto, or the said
pneumatic tire removed, when the wheel is complete with, or without the side
plates, as before mentioned.
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 :
1st. In a cycle or light vehicle wheel, the combination of the wood rim A,
having a circular groove on each side, the pneumatic rubber tire, B, having
convex projections on its inner sides to conform to said grooves, at 2, to fit therein,
the circular, or segmental side plates C, having outer side flanges 4, and screws 3,
and the metallic band D, with screws 5, substantially as described and for the
purposes set forth.
2nd. In a light vehicle wheel the combination of the rim A, having grooves,
the circular or segmental side plates C, having flared side flanges 4, and the metallic
band D, substantially as described and set forth.
3rd. In a light vehicle wheel, the combination of the rim A, having grooves
and the metallic band, or tire D, substantially as described and set forth.
