DEFINITION

Classification: 152/501

With means to protect inner tube from rim:

(under subclass 450) Subject matter wherein an annular band extending around the rim and interposed between the inner tube and the rim is designed to protect the inner tube from contact with the rim.

(1) Note. The band is generally wide enough to overlap the tire beads and the overlap extends inside the casing between the inner tubes and beads. The band may be loose or secured to a portion of the tire/tube/rim assembly.
