摘要:
The main distinctive feature of the new design is that the rim has an O-shape of cross-section instead of the conventional U-shape (channel) of cross-section to hold a solid of filled tire is disclosed. The rim assembly or disc type of wheels, for example as one shown in FIG. 2, consists of two half pieces, separating along a central plane. The half pieces are first molded and then are bonded to form a light, hollow and strong rim and wheel assembly. A wheel assembly having a solid tire is made by pouring formed polymer materials such as polyurethane into a rotating mold in which the rim assembly is used as an insert. Use of rotating/reaction casting method can achieve a very high productivity. Optionally a double shot molding may be employed to concentrate strong rigid material such as glass filled nylon in the flat cone and softer polypropylene in the rim.

A non-pneumatic tire is disclosed having a polyether polyol urethane elastomeric body with a plurality of angular radial ribs interconnected by webbing. The urethane is formed of at least two isocyanate-end capped polyether polyols of differing molecular weights to yield a tire with improved highway life and good vehicle ride characteristics.

A method of making a solid core locatable between a wheel rim and a tire fitted to the rim, includes introducing a foamable composition into a mould cavity having a substantially inflexible mould surface. The cavity is suitably shaped so that a core locatable between a wheel rim and a tire fitted to the rim can be moulded therein. The composition is allowed to foam, thereby to fill the mould cavity. Air and excess composition is allowed to vent from the cavity via an elongate vent slit extending along a major portion of the cavity. The foamed core thus moulded in the cavity is removed from the cavity on the composition having set at least partially.

A non-pneumatic tire for a wheelchair or other wheeled apparatus includes an endless integrally molded solid core rubber tire with a tensile member embedded in the tire to minimize chance of roll-off of the tire from an associated rim. A method for producing the tire is disclosed.
摘要:
This invention relates to a light weight and strong molded resilient fiber reinforced plastic automotive wheel structure having the mechanical functions and riding performance characteristics of conventional pneumatic tire and wheel assemblies at loads below the design load of the wheel structure, and whose mechanical functions and safety characteristics are superior to those of conventional pneumatic tire and wheel assemblies at loads above the design load of the wheel structure.
摘要:
A method of and apparatus for injection molding solid steel-banded industrial rubber tires wherein a steel band is inserted in the bottom mold member cavity when the top mold member is in open position. Bite ring and knockout member components are contained in mold member cavity recesses. Closing movement of the mold members to mated position seals the bite ring and knockout member components against the steel bank and mold member recess surfaces to prevent leakage of injected rubber compound from the cavity during injection and curing. The mold has an internal wedge member which expands a split ring against the steel band when the mold is closed to prevent band distortion from pressure existing when the mold is injected and the rubber is cured therein to form the tire tread portion which is bonded to the steel band during curing. Mold components knock the cured tire out of the top mold member upon opening the mold. The rubber compound is injected into the mold cavity under pressure at the curing temperature of the compound and this temperature is maintained during curing.
摘要:
A machine for splicing or joining the ends of two precured rubber tread strips each having a pattern of ribs and grooves in one surface thereof. The machine includes first and second tread-clamping assemblies each of which grips the opposite surfaces of one of the tread strips between two elements and further includes power means for moving one of the assemblies toward the other in order to tightly abut the ends of the tread strips while heat is applied to effect vulcanization of a bonding material which previously has been inserted between the ends.
摘要:
A substantially solid industrial polyurethane tire/wheel assembly where said polyurethane is prepared by reacting (A) a curative of 1,3-propane diol with a prepolymer of diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate and a polymeric polyol or (B) a curative complex of 4,4'-methylene dianiline with a prepolymer of a diisocyanate selected from diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate and toluene diisocyanate with a polymeric polyether polyol. It is an important feature of this invention that the selection of reactants involved, for the dianiline complex, a partial substitution of the polyether polyol with a polyether-ester polyol.
摘要:
A tire, which can be solid or pneumatic, which has an elastomeric tread portion, an inextensible annular reinforcing structure beneath the tread and a hoop of rubber inwardly of the reinforcing structure. The hoop of rubber is held in a state of compression in the unloaded and, if the tire is pneumatic, uninflated state of the tire by the annular reinforcing structure.
摘要:
A process for producing thermoplastic, elastomeric articles such as, for example, semi-pneumatic tires, comprising the steps of admixing a thermoplastic, elastomeric molding composition including a vulcanizable or otherwise thermosetable elastomer, inert filler materials, a plasticizer and certain processing aids. The molding composition is then milled into a flat sheet, extruded into a tubular shape, cut, shaped and then molded at a temperature less than about 70.degree. F into thermoplastic elastomeric articles such as, for example, semi-pneumatic tires.
