Claims.—(1.) The combination with a wheel-rim of channelled section, having flanges inwardly projecting from the side-cheeks of the rim at a point intermediate of the bottom of the channel and the edges of the cheeks, of an elastic tire formed of an endless outer cover of transversely arched section, provided with inwardly projecting rigid flanges in short lengths, the cover enclosing a connected series of juxtaposed transversely extending springs bent to an arched form, and the springs being provided with hooked ends which engage with the said inwardly projecting flanges of the rim, the sides of the cover being held between the cheeks of the rim, whilst the flanges of the cover are clamped by the springs against the inwardly projecting flanges of the rim, substantially as specified. (2.) The combination with a wheel-rim of channelled section, having flanges inwardly projecting from the side-cheeks of the rim at a point intermediate of the bottom of the channel and the edges of the cheeks, of an elastic tire formed of an endless strip of rubber, having imbedded therein, juxtaposed transversely, extending helical springs enclosed in tubular sheaths of plaited fabric and formed of continuous wire, said springs being united two by two alternately, at opposite ends, by recurved or hook-shaped connecting members, the strip, when applied to the rim, being bent to a transversely arched form, and the said hook-like parts being engaged with the said inwardly projecting flanges of the rim, and being retained in such engagement by the laterally expanding tendency of the strip, substantially as specified. (3.) The combination with a wheel-rim of channelled section, enclosing flanges inwardly projecting from the side-cheeks of the rim at a point intermediate of the bottom of the channel and the edges of the cheeks, of a strip having springs imbedded therein, and of an endless outer cover of rubber of arched cross-section provided with inwardly projecting rigid flanges adapted to embrace the edges of the spring strip and to be gripped between the edges of the strip and the flanges of the rim when the strip is bent to a transversely arched form and the hook-like extensions of the springs are engaged with the said flanges, as described, the cover fitting between the side-cheeks of the rim, as described. (4.) In a vehicle-wheel having a rim of channelled section, the combination of a liner having inwardly recurved flanges, said liner being fixed within the channel of the rim, as described, and of an elastic tire formed of a strip of rubber having imbedded therein, juxtaposed transversely, extending helical springs connected, as described, by recurved or hook-like members, and of an endless cover provided with inwardly projecting flanges at its edges, the tire, when applied to the wheel, being bent of transversely arched form, and the recurved or hook-like members being engaged with the inwardly projecting flanges of the liner, the flanges of the cover being gripped between the said flanges of the liner and the edges of the spring strip, whilst the cover is confined between the side-cheeks of the rim, substantially as specified.

No. 11545.—18th April, 1899.—DAVID REID, of “Loloma,” Black Street, Middle Brighton, near Melbourne, Victoria, Publisher. Improvements in stereo and electro plates and their bases, for connecting or locking together.

Claims.—(1.) The described improvements in stereo and electro plates and their bases, for connecting or locking them together, consisting essentially of a stereo or electro plate having a series of undercut projections or cleats on its underside, in combination with a base having corresponding recesses and undercut slots, into which such projections or cleats fit, substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings. (2.) A stereo or electro plate having an undercut projection or cleat at each end in combination with a base having a correspondingly undercut slot at each end, one of said slots being long enough to allow the projection on the opposite end of the plate to be slid into engagement with the corresponding slot in the opposite end of the base, substantially as and for the purposes described and explained, and as illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4 of the drawings. (3.) A stereo or electro plate having three or more undercut projections or cleats in combination with a base having a corresponding number of undercut slots with recesses at their ends where required (as at d), substantially as and for the purpose described and explained, and as illustrated in Figs. 5 to 8 of the drawings. (4.) A stereo or electro plate having a number of undercut projections or cleats on its under side arranged diagonally substantially as and for the purposes described and explained, and as illustrated in Fig. 9 of the drawings. (5.) A stereo or electro plate having two rows of narrow undercut projections or cleats arranged diagonally substantially as and for the purposes described and explained, and as illustrated in Fig. 10 of the drawings. (6.) A stereo or electro plate having undercut slots and recesses where required, to correspond with a similar number of undercut projections on the base, as illustrated in Figs. 11 to 14 of the drawings.
