Improved Construction of Cushion or Noiseless Tyre for Wheels of
Road Vehicles.
I JOHN HENRY GLEW of 40 Chancery Lane, London, Surveyor do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improved construction of cushion or noiseless tyre for
wheels of road vehicles the object being to secure a gutter shaped rim with splayed
out flanges to the felloes, lining the same with a compound rubber band of a shape
to fit therein and of an outer rim or tyre proper which also has flanges or curled in
edges, this being in sections say 3 to the circumference and provided with lipped
ends so arranged that an overlap of one to the other is ensured with the necessary
peg or bolt holes for securing straps which cover up the lipped ends by a through
bolt or by a side bolt.
The overlapping lipped edges of the tyre proper with the method of fixing by
the straps and bolts allow a slight play but not a disconnection or such as might
produce a creeping of one on or in the other.
