πριονου overing for the Tyres of Bicycles and the like.
I, FRIEDRICH VEITH of Gelnhausen near Frankfort-on-Main in the Empire
of Germany, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This improved protective covering consists of a woven band-like annular piece
of semi-circular or arched section.
Such a covering could only hitherto be made of diagonally cut material
arranged in the form of a ring, and the formation of an annular sheath without
folds is difficult, and owing to the threads, as stated, always running diagonally,
and never in a longitudinal direction, they wear out very quickly.
The protective covering which forms the object of this invention is woven in its
peculiar form by the centre threads (that is those which lie next to the outer
periphery of the tyre) during the weaving of the strip, being taken longer than
the side and end threads, so that the warp threads are gradually shortened to
exactly correspond with the section, and the differences in the length and thickness
of the threads are in exact proportion to the form and diameter of the tyre which
the covering is intended to fit.
The threads which run towards the centre may also be gradually increased in
thickness in order thus to form a stouter fabric. Side loops for attaching the
protective covering may also be woven on the fabric at the same time.
Dated this 17th day of November 1893.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Covering for the Tyres of Bicycles and the like.
I, FRIEDRICH VEITH, of Gelnhausen near Frankfort-on-Main in the Empire
of Germany, Engineer, 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 :-
This improved protective covering consists of a woven baud-like annular piece
of semi-circular or arched section.
Such a covering could only hitherto be made of diagonally cut material arranged
in the form of a ring, and the formation of an annular sheath without folds is
difficult, and owing to the threads, as stated, always running diagonally, and never
in a longitudinal direction, they wear out very quickly.
The protective covering which forms the object of this invention is shown on
the accompanying drawing and is woven in its peculiar form by the centre threads
(that is those which lie next to the outer periphery of the tyre) during the
weaving of the strip being taken longer than the side and end threads, so that the
warp threads are gradually shortened to exactly correspond with the section, and
the differences in the length and thickness of the threads are in exact proportion
to the form and diameter of the tyre which the covering is intended to fit.

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 1
claim is :-
1. An improved covering for the tyres of bicycles and the like, consisting of a
woven annular piece of suitable material of semi-circular or arched section,
substantially as hereinbefore described and shown.
2. In the improved covering for the tyres of bicycles and the like described in
Claim 1, the simultaneous weaving on of side loops for attaching the protective
covering, substantially as hereinbefore described and for the purpose set forth.
Dated this 15th day of August 1894.
