PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION:
Improved Construction; Arrangement, or Build of Pneumatic or
like Tires..
I, ALFRED BURGESS, of 61 Millbank Street, Westminster, County of London,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows::-
This invention relates to improved construction, arrangement, or build of
pneumatic or like tires.
For the purpose of my invention, 1 mould or otherwise form what may be
termed a tire of rubber or its compound, the tire having a somewhat thick portion
for the tread, and with recessed side walls, the bottom or inner diameter surface
being fairly thin with a division or distinct edge faces, which when in contact give
the appearance of a complete tire.
The inner periphery face agrees with the exterior of the rim which can be of
any desired shape, and I prefer to so shape the sides of the rim with a curled
exterior that when folded or rolled on to the rubber tire they lodge in the side
recesses, and fix the tire in place.
The slit in the inner periphery of the rubber, facilitates the opening out of the
two parts for the insertion of a liner of canvas, rubber, or other fabric or material
to constitute a solid like combination, a cushioned like combination, or a pneumatic
like combination, the liner being then inflatable, or as desired.
The rubber can be strengthened and made proof against puncture by canvas.or
metallic insertion pieces, as desired:
An ordinary or other cover can be used with my invention according to the
vehicle, whether of the velocipede or road kind for both of which my invention is
pplicable.

Improved Construction, Arrangement, or Build of Pneumatic or
like Tires.
I ALFRED BURGESS of 61 Millbank Street, Westminster, County of London
Engineer, 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 :-
This invention relates to improved construction, arrangement or build of
pneumatic or like tires.
For the purpose of my invention I mould or otherwise form what may be termed
a tire of rubber or its compounds, the tire being lined with canvas and having a
somewhat thick portion for the tread, with recessed side walls the bottom or inner
diameter surface being fairly thin with a division or distinct edge faces which when
in contact give the appearance of a complete tire.

page_text: The inner periphery face agrees with that of the rim and I prefer to so shape
the sides of the rim with a curled exterior that when folded or rolled on to the
rubber tire they lodge in the side recesses and fix the tire in place.
The slit in the inner periphery of the rubber facilitates the opening out of the
two parts for the insertion of a liner of canvas, rubber or other fabric or material
to constitute a solid like combination, a cushioned like combination or a pneumatic
like combination, the liner being then inflatable or as desired.
My invention as prepared for a pneumatic like tire will be gained from an
inspection of the annexed drawings Figures 1. 2. 3 these being sectional
elevations of the rim, the tire and the two combined as for a road vehicle. It
being understood that I am not dependent upon internal pressure in the liner tube
for holding the rubber tire in place in the rim as the said rubber tire is securely
held in its place by the inwardly and upwardly curled flanges of the rim, the inner
tube rendering the running with less noise and greater comfort than with a solid
rubber or a cushion rubber tire.
My invention is applicable to any vehicle wheel whether of the velocipede or
road kind.
The tire is composed of a thick tread from A to B, the outer sides C, C, being
recessed as at D, D, with hanging lips E. E. The surface F is comparatively
thin and divided as at G to enable that part to be crowded up for insertion into
the rim H which has angled side walls I. I and inwardly and upwardly curled
flanges J, J, for the lips E, E, to engage in for holding the tire in place after
being squeezed therein.
The inner edges K, K, of the flanges J, J, are bulged and rounded to prevent
the rubber tire being frayed or injured when the weight of the load flattens the
tread, this having a tendency to push the parts L, L, into contact with the
flanges J. J.
The side walls I. I of the rim H are canted outward so that the edges I", 1",
serve as guards when running against kerbs without risks of the rubber tire
becoming distorted or of being torn away as with flat sided rims.
I insert into the rubber tire several plys of canvas M which have been prepared
and cemented together or I may mould the canvas liner to the rubber.
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 construction of rubber tires with side wall recesses and depending lips
whether said tire be solid or hollow and the using of same with a deep walled rim
in which the edges are curled inwardly and upwardly for receiving the lips and
lodging in the recesses as represented in the annexed drawings, it being understood
that I am not dependent upon internal pressure in the liner tube for bolding the
rubber tire in place in the rim as the said rubber tire is securely held in its place
by the inwardly and upwardly curled flanges of the rim.
