Since the same patent claims that as an innovation, and explains its
purpose, I suspect you're just making **** up.

So what is the purpose of the cellophane? Just to keep it all nice and
clean, or is it to stop the excess glue sticking to the inside of the
outer tyre on the assumption you leave it there?

Provide some stability to the feather edge when appplying the patch.
