RESLENT TERE.
Application filed April 15, 1922. Serial No. 552,850.
e. cit-1r Tfnited States, re* sort, e county of lerlrs 'lsylvanizu have invented n ner.' and useful l1 VSyovement-s in Resilient rllires of which tle following` is a specification. Y
This invention relates to improvements in vehicle tires of the dass lrnown as resilient tires, the obiect is to provide a tire, other than the inflatable or pneumatic type, in which the proper resiliency maybe obtained without the accompanying annoyance due to punctures or blow-outs.
The invention consists of a hollow shoe and a plurality of metal spring; members located within the shoe, whereby the desired resiliency may be obtained.
The invention is intend d as an improvement on the device described and claimed in i lrnow that my co-pendinn' application Serial No. 513,876, led November 9th, 192]..
rEhe invention is more fully described in the following specification and clearly illustrated in the accompanying` drawing', in which:
Figure l is a sectional view, partly in perspective, of my imii roved tire.
Figure 2 illustrates a slight modification thereof.
The numeral l designates which is of elastic material, provided with the ordinary means taching it to a wheel.
Within the shoe l, l provide a plurality of pairs of steel spring members 3, each member having both its longitudinal edges curved, as shown by the numeral 1l.
The numeral 5 designates centrally disposed web or vane, substantially rr'i1-shaped in cross-section, the head of which embraces the folly 6 of the wheel.
The curved portions/l of the spring-s 3, bear normally against opposite faces of the web 5.
rEhe spring` members are preferably arranged in pairs, directly opposite each other, and I provide preferably three such pairs of spring' members, each pair covering approximately one-third of the interior of the shoe.
the usual shoe as usual, and fol" not .sie e3 .l may a so oe mane in sections il. (2
preierred, f m ore convenient assemblage.
, t is evident from the above description.1. 55
and that in some instances it may be desirable to dispense entirelywith the webv 5, as
illustrated in Figure 2, and permit the spring members to bear against each other their curved portions.
Haring` thus fullydescribedA my invention, l claim l. A. resilient tire comprisingn a shoe, a centrally disposed web of annular form within the shoe and a plurality of pairs of s spring;- members fitting snugly against the inner wall of having both lon 'udinal edges curved in'- wardly and beannp; against the surface of the web.
2. ln a resilient tire, a opposed spring members shoe, the edgesof said spring' members being curved, an annular, centrally disposed web within the shoe against which the curved portions of the springmembers bear,
hollow shoe, two
