Label for distinguishing vehicle tires, has end extension terminating in approximately triangular nose, which can be fitted into hole in rim or pushed over tire valve

摘要

The label (1) end extension (2) terminates in an approximately triangular nose (3). Its base width exceeds the fastening hole (6) diameter. The tire valve has a slightly greater diameter than this hole. Around the hole, radial incisions (7) form separate tabs (8). An Independent claim is included for the corresponding method of labeling tires on rims, in which either the nose is passed through a fastening hole in the rim, or the hole in the nose is mounded over the tire valve. Preferred features: The equilateral, triangular nose has rounded tips, its hole being central. The nose has an undercut trailing edge (5), and is heart-shaped. The label section has an impressed surface suitable for writing. On one side is a pocket made of transparent film. The maximum width of the nose is about double the size of a fastening hole (in the rim). The width of the projecting section is a little less than the diameter of a fastening hole (in the rim). An extension prolongs the far end of the nose.
