In the Nedderman pneumatic tire the canvasedges of a clincher-like arch are much thickened, and. Nedderman Pneumatic Tire. slip into the incurved edge of the rim. Inflation onlypulls these projections more firmly into their seats,while a very simple contrivance makes the tire immov-able in case of a collapse.
