Using an element separation property of triples of boundary points from a plane set \(K\) of constant width \(w\), the author proves the following theorem: If \(\{B_ 1,B_ 2,B_ 3\}\) is a cover of \(K\) with \(d(B_ i)\) denoting the diameter of \(B_ i\) and \(d(B_ i)<w\) for \(i=1,2,3\), then \[ d(B_ 1)+d(B_ 2)+d(B_ 3)>2w. \]
