Improvements in Tyres for the Wheels of Vehicles.
We, TIMOTHEUS KOROVINE, Peasant, NICOLAS KLATSCHKO, Gentleman, and
JACQUES BERTHENSON, Merchant, all of House Koeppen, Furkassovsky Pereulok,
Moscow, in the Empire of Russia, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
__
This invention relates to the manufacture of tyres for wheels of vehicles from
steel wire with an elastic core.
The tyre is formed of a covering 1 of iron or steel wire of trapezoidal (Figure 6)
or other section. The interior of the tyre is formed of a cable of hemp or iron
wire 2, consisting of small wires laid together. This inner cable may be inserted
in a sheath or a tube of iron which prevents the tyre from stretching during use.
The outer covering 1 is continuous, the ends of the wires being hidden in the
inside so that they cannot possibly project. The tyre is made in any suitable
machine. A tyre is thus obtained in the form of a ring as shown in Figure 1.
The rim 3 is of arched form (see Figures 2 and 3); it is separated from the tyre
by a layer of elastic material 4 as seen at Figure 3.
In order to unite the tyre and rim, the latter is cut through at one place and
introduced into the former in such a way that the tyre lies in the groove on the
rim. The cut ends of the rim overlap more or less during the operation, and when
the rim has been inserted into the tyre, a wedge 5 (Figure 5) is forced between
the two ends of the rim. This wedge is retained in place by means of one of the
spokes of the wheel which is fixed opposite this point by means of a plate 6 and
two bolts 7 (see Figures 4 and 5).
Tyres constructed in the manner described make no noise, splash very little and
can be readily adapted to all kinds of vehicles. They also wear very well as the
wire of which they are composed may be hardened. For these reasons they may
advantageously be used in place of the rubber tyres in general use.

-
This invention relates to the manufacture of tyres for wheels of vehicles from
steel wire with an elastic core.
The drawings referred to below are those left with our Provisional Specification.
The tyre is formed of a covering 1 of iron or steel wire of trapezoidal (Figure 6)
or other section. The interior of the tyre is formed of a cable of hemp or iron
wire 2, consisting of small wires laid together. This inner cable may be inserted
in a sheath or a tube of iron which prevents the tyre from stretching during use.
The outer covering 1 is continuous, the ends of the wires being hidden in the
inside so that they cannot possibly project. The tyre is made in any suitable
machine. A tyre is thus obtained in the form of a ring as shown in Figure 1.
The rim 3 is of arched form (see Figures 2 and 3); it is separated from the tyre
by a layer of elastic material 4 as seen at Figure 3.
In order to unite the tyre and rim, the latter is cut through at one place and
introduced into the former in such a way that the tyre lies in the groove on the
rim. The cut ends of the rim overlap more or less during the operation, and when
the rim has been inserted into the tyre, a wedge 5 (Figure 5) is forced between
the two ends of the rim. This wedge is retained in place by means of one of the
spokes of the wheel which is fixed opposite this point by means of a plate 6 and
two bolts 7 (see Figures 4 and 5).
Tyres constructed in the manner described make no noise, splash very little, and
can be readily adapted to all kinds of vehicles. They also wear very well as the
wire of which they are composed may be hardened. For these reasons they may
advantageously be used in place of the rubber tyres in general use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
:-
1. A tyre for wheels of vehicles, formed of a cable of iron or steel wire of trape-
zoidal section wound upon an elastic core and mounted upon a rim of grooved or
trough-like form, a layer of elastic material being interposed.
2. Tyres substantially as herein described.
