DEFINITION

Classification: 156/118

(under subclass 110.1) Processes for making toroidal shapes which are structurally airtight and are uniquely adapted to hold fluids under pressure.

(1) Note. The articles produced by this process must be, per se, airtight, as for example, a tube for a tire. So called "tubeless" tires which require the wheel to be airtight are not considered to be subject matter for this subclass.
