PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION
An Improvement in Tyres for Wheels of Carriages and other
Vehicles.
I ARTHUR WILLIAM BINSTEAD of No. 157 New Bond Street in the County of
Middlesex Picture Dealer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to the tyres of wooden or other wheels such as are used for
Carriages and other Vehicles the purpose and object it is intended should be provided
is to put the tyre securely on the wooden or other wheel without rivets bolts screws
or any other fastening and in such a manner as to strengthen and protect the felloes
against damage from contact with kurbs and other latteral obstructions and preventing
the skidding or sliding of the wheels in tram and other lines and also from its con-
struction becoming reversible as both edges of my tyre being alike when as is usual
with the ordinary tyres the front or outer edge becomes worn the inner or part not
so worn can be reversed and placed to the front. For this purpose in forming the
tyre bar I use iron steel or other metal which on its inner surface is either concave
or convex the felloe of wheel being so formed to receive this. Both edges of the
tyre bar being half round or octagonal each edge both inner and outer projecting
beyond the felloe thus protecting both sides of same.
1 bend this bar and weld it in
the usual manner forming a complete ring. I make the circumference of the felloes
concave or convex to take this bar. I beat the tyre so as to expand it place the
wheel on a platform and put the tyre on and cool and shrink it as in the usual way.
The tyre shrinking binds itself firmly on the wheel and the inner surface being either
concave or convex prevents it shifting in any direction.

An Improvement in Tyres for Wheels of Carriages and other
Vehicles.
I, ARTHUR WILLIAM BINSTEAD, of No. 157 New Bond Street, in the County of
Middlesex, Picture Dealer, 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 the tyres of wooden or other wheels, such as are used for
Carriages and other Vehicles, the purpose and object which it is intended should be
provided is to put the tyre securely on the wooden or other wheel without rivets,
bolts, screws, or any other fastening and in such a manner as to strengthen and
protect the felloes against damage from contact with kerbs or other lateral obstruc-
tions, the increased width of the tyre preventing the skidding or sliding of the wheels
in tram or other lines. The tyre from its construction is reversible, so that when
the front or outer edge becomes worn, the inner or part not so worn can be reversed
and placed to the front.
Eor this purpose in forming the tyre bar, I use iron, steel, or other metal A which
on its inner surface is either concave, as at Figure 1, or convex, as at Figure 2, the
felloe of wheel being so formed to receive this. Both edges or sides C, C, of the
tyre bar are half round or octagonal and project beyond the felloe B, thus protecting
both sides of same. I bend this bar and weld it in the usual manner, to form a
complete ring. I make the circumference of the felloes B concave or convex to take
this bar according to its shape.
I heat the tyre, so as to expand it, place the wheel on a platform, and put the tyre
on and cool and shrink it, as in the usual way. The tyre shrinking, binds itself firmly
on the wheel and the inner surface being either concave or convex prevents it shifting
in any direction.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The employment of tyres (for wheels of vehicles) having an inner periphery of
concave, or of convex formation and with edges projecting beyond the felloes, sub-
stantially as shown in the annexed drawings, and as and for the purposes set forth.
