PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Tyre for Velocipedes and other Vehioles.
I, ARTHUR JOSEPH THOMAS of Ivydene, Sheepcote Road Harrow, Gentleman-
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to a new or improved tyre for velocipedes and other
vehicles, and has for its object to combine a solid or cushion tyre with a pneumatic-
tyre in such a manner as to prevent the liability to puncture to which tyres of this.
class are exposed, and also increase resiliency and reduce vibration.
In carrying my invention into practice I provide a pneumatic tyre of ordinary
construction on the outside of which (i.e. farther from the centre of the wheel) I
fix a solid tyre or "cushion" tyre, this solid or cushion tyre is provided with flaps or-
extensions of india rubber or other suitable material which are placed around the
pneumatic tyre and are fixed thereto by means of solution or in any other suitable
manner.
As my improvements are capable of some modification without departing from
the principle thereof I do not restrict myself to materials, dimensions or to the
precise form or shape of the solid tyre, or cushion tyre employed in my said
invention.
Dated this 17th day of Novamban 1902.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Tyre for Velocipedes and other Vehicles.
I ARTHUR JOSEPH THOMAS of Ivydene Sheepcote Road Harrow Gentleman
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 a new or improved tyre for velocipedes and other vehicles.
and has for its object to combine a solid or cushion tyre with a pneumatic tyre in
such a manner as to prevent the liability to puncture to which tyres of this class
have hitherto been exposed when being ridden'over rough roads and also to increase.
their resiliency and reduce vibration. In carrying my invention into practice
I provide a pneumatic tyre of ordinary construction, on the outside of which,.
i.e. farther from the centre of the wheel, I fix a solid tyre, or a
"cushion" tyre.
This solid or cushion tyre is provided with flaps or extensions of india rubber
or other suitable material which are placed around the pneumatic tyre and are fixed
thereto by means of solution or in any other suitable manner.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1. is a vertical section showing separately the pneumatic tyre, the solid
or cushion tyre and the rim of the wheel the tyres being ready to be fixed to the
latter.
Fig. 2. shows a complete tyre cemented to the rim of the wheel.
Fig. 3 is a vertical section of a solid tyre with its two flaps extended.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawings..
According to iny invention I form a solid (Fig. 3.) or cushion tyre (Fig. 1.) with
two lateral extensions, flaps or bands f which I place around a pneumatic tyre T
in such a manner that the solid tyre t or cushion tyre t' as the case may be, may

be undermost and bear on the ground, the flaps being solutionized on to the
pneumatic tyre T, and cemented with the latter to the rim r of the wheel of the
velocipede as clearly shown in Fig. 2. The advantage of the above arrangement
is to protect and preserve the pneumatic tyre, as when the cushion or solid tyre is
worn out it can be replaced by a new one without damaging the pneumatic tyre.
Having now fully 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-
1.) The improved tyre for velocipedes and other vehicles arranged and constructed
substantially as herein described and shown.
2.) Providing cushion or solid tyres for velocipedes and other vehicles with
lateral flaps or extensions which are applied around the sides of pneumatic tyres
in order to protect and preserve them substantially as herein described and
shown.
