Abstract:
The drawings illustrate a pneumatic tubeless tire including internal support means. The internal support means comprises a three component system including an inner circumferentially oriented preloaded portion abutted against the wheel rim and normally supporting an outer portion consisting of an endless resilient ring, and an intermediate circumferentially split resilient ring. The latter ring is formed to include side surfaces which match the inner surfaces of the beaded ends for seating thereon when the tire becomes deflated, at which time the inner preloaded portion compresses.
Abstract:
In an automotive heater or air conditioner system the temperature control and the mode control for directing air flow to the desired outlet is controlled by a single actuator. A mixing chamber has inlet and outlet end walls for temperature control and mode control, respectively. Each wall has openings for air flow and has an associated rotary door for controlling air flow through the openings. The rotary doors are mounted on a common shaft for simultaneous rotation and the shaft is driven by a single actuator. A heater core is mounted in the chamber adjacent an opening in the inlet end wall. A mixer device blends hot and cold air in the chamber.
