I WILLIAM GREEN of 86 Greenfield Road.. Harborne near. Birmingham
Machinist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows, a. —
To fix on
or prevent the rubber tyres on bicycles tricycles and other
wheels coming off. I accomplish this by means of clips made from spring steel or
other suitable material and any desired strength shape or size. The clips are
formed to suit the rim of wheel each end being made A shaped and so bent that
when opened and pressed against underside rim of wheel the A shaped ends are
pressed into the rubber tyre from each side and while they leave the surface free
prevent the tyre coming off. If desirable instead of forming the clips A shaped at
ends and bent inward I may form them straight with a small hole at ends for a pin
to pass through into rubber tyre one from each side or one pin through from one
side to the other.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Method of Fixing Rubber Tyres on Bicycle, Tricycle, and
other Wheels.
I, WILLIAM GREEN of 86 Greenfield Road Harborne Birmingham Machinist
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, viz. :-
To fix on or prevent the rubber tyres on bicycles tricycles and other wheels
coming off, and I accomplish this by means of improved clips, made from spring
steel or other suitable material and any desired strength shape or size.
The clips are made to suit the rim of wheel each end being formed with one or
more sharp points, A shaped or otherwise. The ends are bent or turned inward,
so as to grip the rubber tyre on both sides. The clips are attached from underside
the rim of wheel, which while they grip and hold secure they leave the surface of
tyre free.
If found desirable instead of forming the clips A shaped or otherwise at end and
bent or turned inward I may form them straight at the ends with a small hole in
each for a pin to pass through into tyre from each side, or one pin to pass through
from one side to the other and riveted at each end or otherwise secured.
The nature however of my said invention will be more readily understood by and
in aid of the illustration and drawing hereunto annexed reference being had to the
letters and figures.
Fig. 1. in drawing is a front and Fig. 2. a side view of clip a. 'full size' with
A shaped ends b. bent or turned inward.
Fig. 3. is a cross section view of an ordinary rubber tyre c. with rim of wheel d.
with clip a. attached. The A shaped ends . pressed into and gripping tyre c.
fixing it to rim of wheel.d.
Fig. 1. is similar in section as to Fig. 3. with clip a. attached. The ends E. in
this instance being straight with a small hole in each to receive pin F.

page_text: Having now briefly described the nature and object of my said invention and the
manner in which it is to be applied and without confining myself to the precise
details, I claim
The improved method of fixing rubber tyres, on bicycle, tricycle, and other
wheels constructed and applied in manner as herein set forth and described.
Dated this 25th day of March 1892.
