Abstract: An assembly (10) for location around a wheel rim (32) comprises an annular support band (12) being formed of a relatively inextensible material. The support band (12) is split at at least one circumferential location to define a pair of opposed ends (16, 18). Adjustment means (24, 26, 28) are operably connected to said opposed ends (16, 18) for enabling adjustment of the diameter of the support band (12), and spacing means (14) depend from the radially inner face (34) of the support band (12). The spacing means (14) is formed from a relatively non-compressible material and, in use, is seated upon the wheel rim (32) to maintain the support band (12) in a spaced apart relationship with the wheel rim (32). The assembly may be adapted for use as a runflat assembly or as a beadlock assembly.

Abstract: A processing mold is suitable for preparing a tire support. One processing mold that is particularly advantageous includes a processing mold having a first mold body opposing a second mold body, and the first and second mold bodies are aligned through a mandrel. In one embodiment, a first mold body includes a locking member suitable for locking the mandrel to the first body. In this embodiment, the mandrel is movable between the first and second mold bodies such that when a processing mold is opened, the first mold body and the mandrel can separate from the second mold body. A method of using a processing mold by aligning a first mold body and a second mold body through a mandrel and a method of releasing a tire support from a processing mold by locking a mandrel to a first mold body and separating the first and second mold bodies are also particularly advantageous.

Abstract: A method for detecting vibrations generated by the running of a tire on a safety insert, wherein a vibration signal is measured within a given frequency band and the measurement thus made is processed to detect a mode of resonance generated by this running. The energy of the signal measured by a sensor in two frequency bands, one being narrow and the other being wide, which are centered on the same line of the mode of resonance, is determined. The ratio of these two energies is compared with a given warning threshold.

Abstract: A safety support for supporting the tread of a vehicle tire in case of theoss of inflation pressure of the tire has the shape of a Z. The base of the support is fixed to a wheel rim while the connector between the support base and the support top is oriented so as to join the base on a side thereof opposite that facing the vehicle to which the tire is mounted. The asymmetric shape of the support and its orientation produces improved stability upon intervention of the support.
