Improved Construction of Tyre for "Road Vehicle Wheels.
.
I, JOHN MORLEY, of 75 Woodland Street, Dalston, County of London,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention has for object, the building up or constructing tyres of road
vehicle wheels from a combination of feathered rim.or tyre proper, two rings of
prepared rubber and side metal flanges, or flat rings bolted together upon an
ordinary metal tyre, whereby an elastic non-creeping outer tyre with a flexible, or
yielding intermediate body is obtained.
For the purpose of my invention, I employ segments of rings, or complete rings
of gun, or other metal with a rounded exterior, and with an internal web (preferably
central) as a tyre, on each side of which I arrange segments of rings, or complete
rings of rubber, the periphery or outer surfaces and the inner side surfaces-of
which, fit the web and inner faces of the tyre; these are kept in place by bolts
passed through flat faced side rings, the rubbers, and the web, upon the periphery
of an ordinary tyre of a road vehicle wheel. The flange or flat faced' rings have a
bearing against the old tyre, or both felloe and tyre to prevent side motion.
The bolts lock the several párts in position.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Construction of Tyre for Road Vehicle Wheels.
I, JOHN MORLEY, of 75 Woodland Street, Dalston, 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 has for object, the building up or constructing tyres of road
vehicle wheels from a combination of feathered rim or tyre proper in segments, or
not, and having segments of rings, or complete rings of prepared rubber on each
side and held together by bolts or pins, side metal flanges, or flat rings being
fastened to the felloe to hold thein in place on the wheel, whereby an elastic non-
creeping tyre with a flexible or yielding intermediate body is obtained.
My invention can be applied to existing wheels having the ordinary tyre, or if
made for an untyred wheel, the iron felloe or tyre may have an upright flange, thus
dispensing with one loose flange or ring.
The annexed drawings clearly show my invention.
Figure 1 is a section of a tyred wheel with my invention applied, Figure 2
being a side elevation of the same.
Figure 3 is a section of an untyred wheel with my invention applied, Figure 4
being a side elevation of the same with the affixable flange removed.
According to Figures 1 and 2, A, A, are segments of rings, or complete rings of
gun, or other metal with a rounded exterior, and with an internal web B (preferably
central), on each side of which web I arrange complete rings of rubber C, C, the
periphery on outer surfaces and the inner side surfaces of which fit the web and
DO77

page_text: inner faces of the tyre; these are held together by bolts or pins D passed through
them and are held in place on the ordinary tyre É of the wheel by flat faced side
rings F, these being secured to the felloe G by bolts or rivets H.
According to Figures 3 and 4, instead of the ordinary tyre E being used as a
bearing for the rubber rings, I employ a tyre or bearing surface provided with an
upright flange F1 for holding in combination with one side flange F the rubber C
and tyre proper (A) in place.
I, I, are lips to the flanges to prevent the tyre proper A, or rubber rings C being
torn, or forced out from between the flanges.
J is a portion of a spoke of a wheel.
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 :-
1. The improved construction of tyre for road vehicle wheels as described and
substantially as shown by the annexed drawings.
2. The combination of tyre A having feather B and rubber rings C connected
together by bolts or pins D, the whole being held in place on the ordinary or on a
flanged tyre E of a wheel by the lipped flanges F, F, or F, F¹, substantially in the
manner described and shown on the annexed drawings.
