PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Elastic Tyres for Velocipedes and other Vehicles
for Common Roads.
I, SAMUEL HARVEY of Blyth Street Nurseries in the Town and County of the
Town of Nottingham Florist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
The object of my invention is to produce an elastic tyre for a velocipede or other
common road carriage, of greater stability less liablity to derangement, and
affording greater facility for effecting repairs in case of puncture.
In carrying out my invention I employ an inner distending pipe or inflating
annular vessel provided with proper inflating opening controlled by closing means
or valve and if desired protected by a peripheral shield of thin steel or other
material and around this I bend a sheet of rubber or like elastic matter protected
from undue distention by a lining of canvas leather or textile material. The edges
of this combined covering material are received and held between two annuli of
curved cross section so arranged that the outer one forms the annular bed for the
inflated tube and over its opposite side lie the edges of the rubber and its lining and
upon these the inner annulus, the two annuli being drawn together by bolts secured
in the outer one being passed through the inner one and the two drawn together
by nuts on the bolts so that the tyre cover is held tight and when inflation of the
internal vessel is sufficiently effected a firm surface is attained. Should puncture
of the internal distending vessel occur the screws may be slackened the cover
released the distender be got at and the puncture cemented over and patched and
the cover replaced and distended without need of skilled labour or removal to the
workshop.
The tyre and its connections are secured to the other parts of the wheel in any
usual or convenient manner.
