PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tires for Cycles and the like.
I, HERBERT CLARKE, of 43 Gold Street, Northampton, in the County of
Northampton, Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in tires for cycles and the like, which
consist of an india rubber pneumatic tire with a rough or checkered surface on the
periphery to prevent slipping.
This invention is constructed of india rubber or other elastic material with a
number of air chambers placed in any suitable position in the inside of the said
tire. Preferably the air chambers inside the tire are formed so as to project from
the inner surface towards the underside surface of the periphery of the said tire in
order to inflate the tire rigidly with air. On the periphery of the tire is formed
ridges with grooves or a checkered surface.
The object of my invention is to prevent the whole tire from being collapsed
should one or more of the air chambers become pierced and the air emitted..
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration, and
that the shapes and materials may be varied in many ways within the scope of my
invention.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tires for Cycles and the like.
I, HERBERT CLARKE, of 43 Gold Street, Northampton, in the County of
Northampton, Ironmonger, 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 improvements in tires for cycles and the like, which
consist of an india rubber pneumatic tire with a rough or checkered surface on the
periphery to prevent slipping.
1 attain this object by the apparatus illustrated in the accompanying drawing,
in which-
Fig. 1 is a plan of the periphery ;
Fig. 2, is a side view of the tire fixed to the rim ;
Fig. 3, is a longitudinal section ;
Fig. 4, is a transverse section.
Each of the above figures are broken off for want of space.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the views.
C
This invention is constructed of india rubber or other elastic material with a
number of air chambers placed in any suitable position or continuous in the inside
of the said tire b. Preferably the air chambers c inside the tire are formed so as
to project from the rim a of the wheel towards the periphery of the said tire b.
The tire is inflated rigidly with compressed air in each chamber during the
manufacture of the said tire.
The tire & may be fixed to the rim a of a wheel either by a cement, or metal
clips, or any other suitable means.

page_text: The object of my invention is to prevent the whole tire from being collapsed
should one or more of the air chambers become pierced and the air emitted.
It will be understood that I do not particularly bind myself to make the tire of
the exact shape described in, the drawing, or to make the tire of the material
herein described, as both the shapes and, materials may be varied in many ways
within the scope of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said,
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
C
In a tire for cycles or other vehicles, the combination of the compressed air
chambers in the tire, with ridges on the periphery, or grooves, and the checkered
surface to prevent slipping, substantially as herein described and, according to the
accompanying drawing.
