Syllabus

<p>1. Patents — Infringement—Pneumatic Tires.</p> <p>The Morgan & Wright patent, No. 502,047, for a pneumatic tire, comprising a tubular sheath having a limited split or opening for the insertion and removal of an air-tube, and an inclosed removable air-tube, by the language of the specification and claims, as well as by the amendment of the latter in the Patent Office, makes the essential feature of the invention the peculiar flattened closed end portions of the air-tube which extend beyond the inflatable portion, and detachably overlap the same when placed within the sheath, so as to be clasped thereby, and held by pressure against the wall of the sheath when the tube is inflated, forming a practically continuous air-cushion; and the patent is not infringed by a structure which lacks such feature.</p>
