This class includes (1) spring wheels for land vehicles; (2) resilient tires for land vehicle wheels; (3) patches for pneumatic tires; (4) anti-skid devices for resilient tires; (5) devices for securing tires to wheels, and (6) pneumatic tire inflating devices combined with the vehicle or wheel or remaining with a particular tire between periods of inflation, or designed to fill one tire from another.
LINES WITH OTHER CLASSES
For devices for giving a warning when the pressure within a pneumatic tire is either raised above or reduced below normal;
(a) If mechanical, see Class 116, Signals and Indicators, subclass 34. This subclass includes such devices incorporated in pneumatic tires but is not limited to devices on the tire or wheel. For devices under (a) wherein a pressure gage is combined with a valved inflation stem or valved filling chucks see Class 137, Fluid Handling, subclasses 227+, and for other valves and other fluid handling devices covered with a pressure gage see subclasses 551+, particularly subclass 557.
(b) If electrical, see Class 340, Communications: Electrical, subclass 442+. For devices under (b) wherein the invention is in a circuit breaker, see Class 200, Electricity: Circuit Makers and Breakers, subclasses 61.22+. For devices under (b) wherein the invention is in the electrical resistor combined with an inflation sensing actuator, see Class 338, Electrical Resistors, subclass 37.
