scribed, these features constitute one of the
preferred embodiments of the device. I
wish it understood, however, that within
the scope of the invention, numerous minor
6 changes may well be made without sacrific-
ing the principal advantages.
I claim:
1. An emergency tire comprising an an-
nular body of cushioning material split
10 transversely, and a spring metal ring also
split transversely and assembled with said
body for contracting the same when not in
use until its ends overlap, whereby the tire
must be expanded when applied and where-
15 by it will frictionally grip the rim.
2. An emergency tire comprising a resili-
ent auxiliary rim split transversely and
adapted to surround the usual automobile
rim, said auxiliary rim being contracted with
20 its ends overlapping when not in use, where-
by it must be expanded and thus placed un-der tension when applied, and a cushion
tire secured to said auxiliary rim.
3. An emergency tire comprising a resili-
ent auxiliary rim split transversely and 25
adapted to surround the usual automobile
rim, said auxiliary rim being contracted
with its ends overlapping when not in use,
whereby it must be expanded and thus
placed under tension when applied, a bolt 30
extending inwardly from said auxiliary rim
and adapted for passage through the usual
valve stem opening of the automobile rim
and felly, and a cushion tire secured to said
auxiliary rim. 35
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set
my hand in the presence of two subscribing
witnesses.
