Improvements in Pneumatic Tyres for the Wheels of Vehicles,
I, JON FREDERICK BLAKE, of The Mall, Ealing, in the County of Middlesex,
Tent and Blind Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
My invention relates to improvements in pneumatic tyres for the wheels of
vehicles, which consists of a pneumatic endless tube enclosed in a cover built up
of canvas and india rubber, the said cover being laced together in the manner
hereinafter described.
In carrying my invention into practice I construct a tyre cover built up of
canvas and india rubber, and on one side of the said cover I provide a number
of loops constructed by means of sewing threading or interlacing twine or any
other suitable material, (or loops attached to buttons may be used through eyelet
holes) around the edge of the cover. Opposite each loop on the other edge of
the cover are eyelet holes for the purpose of enclosing the pneumatic tube and
securing the same by means of lacing the edges of the cover together before
placing the said tyre on the rim of a wheel.
If preferable one or more metallic loops may be placed transversely in the
inside of the wheel rim, to permit if required the attachment of one or more
of the flexible loops of the tyre cover above described.

Improvements in Pneumatic Tyres for the Wheels of Vehicles.
I, JOHN FREDERICK BLAKE, of The Mall, Ealing, in the County of Middlesex,
Tent and Blind Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
--
My invention relates to improvements in pneumatic tyres for the wheels of
vehicles, which consists of a pneumatic endless tube enclosed in a cover built up
of canvas and india rubber, the said cover being laced together in the manner
hereafter described.
And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
Gouros marked thereon.

page_text: Fig. 1, is a view drawn in the flat of the outside of a part of the cover before
it is covered with india rubber.
Fig. 2, is a view of the inside of the cover or Fig. 1.
Figs. 1, and, are drawn to a reduced scale.
Fig. 3, is a section of the tyre fitted to the rim of wheel,
Fig. d, is a view of the under or rim side of the tyre when laced up.
In carrying my invention into practice I construct a tyre cover a built up of
canvas and india rubber b, and on one side of the said cover a 1 provide a number
of loops made of flax or any other suitable material constructed by means of
sewing threading or interlacing twine d or any other suitable material, (or loops
attached to buttons or toggels may be used through eyelet holes) around the edge
of the cover a.
Opposite each loop on the other edge of the cover a are eyelet holes e of metal
or any other suitable material for the purpose of enclosing the pneumatic tube f
and securing the same by means of lacing the edges of the cover together as in
Fig. 4, before placing the said tyre on the rim of a wheel.
Narrow thin tapes are sewn at the back of the canvas cover where the eyelets
and loops are formed.
When all the loops e are laced together the last loop is secured by a spring
clip or in any other suitable manner fixed on the end of the twine d.
On one edge of the canvas cover form an endless bead
this said bead h
is formed by enclosing in the canvas a piece or pieces of twine d.
The object of my invention is to provide a pneumatic tyre to hold on a rim
by itself even when deflated and more so when the pneumatic tyre is inflated.
If preferable one or more metallic loops may be placed transversely in the
inside of the wheel rim, to permit if required the attachment of one or more
of the flexible loops of the tyre cover above described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what
I claim is:-
1. In pneumatic tyres, the combination of sewing or interlacing twine to form
loops into an endless canvas cover a eyelets and beadh, substantially as
herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In pneumatic tyres, the combination of canvas tyre a with india rubber b
loops of twined and eyelet holes e and endless bead h, substantially as herein
described and according to the accompanying drawing.
