  • Puncture resistant tire liner
    Publication number: 20060060275
    Abstract: A protective tire liner positioned between the bicycle inner tube and the bicycle outer tire of a bicycle wheel. The protective tire liner comprises a thin lightweight puncture resistant flexible strip of metallic material, preferably of recycled aluminum to protect the inner tube from puncture damage. The lightweight puncture resistant flexible strip of recycled aluminum has a thickness of 0.002?-0.035?. The protective tire liner also includes polyurethane protective tape which is applied to major first and second surfaces of the lightweight puncture resistant flexible strip of recycled aluminum to give added protection against puncture and enhance the strength and durability of the recycled aluminum strip. The polyurethane protective tape prevents the puncture resistant flexible metal strip from accordianing and covers the edges of the puncture resistant flexible metal strip to prevent it from abrading the inner tube.
