Abstract: A tire consisting of a tread, two exterior sidewalls, and a plurality of interior support walls mounted to a rim and/or a run-flat support ring which provides for at least three pressure zones inside the tire. These differing zones provide multiple run-flat stages reducing the likelihood of complete pressure loss when the tire is punctured. These pressure zones also provide for the contact patch to be adjusted to the current driving conditions. When mounted to a vehicle where camber changes during cornering, these differing air zones provide for an extended contact patch during cornering by exchanging air pressure between the inside shoulder and the outside shoulder of the tire.

Abstract translation: 轮胎由胎面，两个外部侧壁和安装到轮辋和/或平坦的支撑环上的多个内部支撑壁组成，其提供轮胎内部的至少三个压力区域。 这些不同的区域提供多个平坦阶段，以减少当轮胎被刺穿时完全压力损失的可能性。 这些压力区域还可以将接触片调整到目前的驾驶条件。 当安装在转弯期间弯度变化的车辆时，这些不同的空气区域在转弯过程中通过交换轮胎的内侧肩部和外侧肩部之间的空气压力来提供延伸的接触片。

Abstract: A wheel-and-tire apparatus has a pneumatic tire with two or more circumferential tread sections, the relative diameters of which may be adjusted to select the tread sections in contact with the road. The tire may have one or more air chambers. The apparatus facilitates selective use of tire tread designs and compositions having different performance characteristics to suit particular road conditions and vehicle operating parameters. Adjustment of tread section diameters is accomplished using tread diameter adjustment means having a source of compressed air. Sensors monitor selected operational parameters of the vehicle and transmit corresponding signals to a computer, which selects an optimal configuration of tread section diameters to suit the data from the sensors. The computer sends a corresponding signal instructing the tread diameter adjustment means to adjust the diameter of one or more tread sections as required to achieve the selected configuration of tread section diameters.

Abstract: A new tire design superseding current conventional single-chamber tire design is delineated. This new invention incorporates the use of multiple independent chambers arranged side-by-side to improve vehicular safety and functionality. This design is an improvement over prior art utilizing concentric dual chambers by maintaining tire height in the event of a single chamber puncture. During such blow outs, steering and ride would be unimpeded, allowing driver to complete travel and replace damaged tire at a more convenient time. Much time will be saved in not requiring driver to either change the punctured tire immediately or to call and wait for road service assistance. This feature is especially important in military, police, or commercial applications where uninterrupted and unaffected travel is crucial to ensuring occupant safety, achieving mission objectives, or meeting delivery or travel deadlines.

Abstract: A shock absorbing tire and wheel assembly, particularly suitable for civil engineering plant comprises interconnected outer (15) and inner (14) chambers. The chambers are interconnected by passages which preferentially allow flow from the outer chamber (15) to the inner chamber (14). The passages preferably include at least one passage (21) which permits flow in either direction between the chambers and at least one passage (22) which permits flow from the outer chamber to the inner chamber, but prevents or restricts reverse flow. The passages (22) may be fitted with flap valves (23).

Abstract: A pneumatically-inflated inner tube having two compartments such that if one compartment is damaged and deflates, the other compartment may be inflated without removing the tire. The compartments inflate independently of each other using separate valves; each compartment has its own valve for inflation. When inflated, the two compartments surround the same annular axis. The two embodiments described have primary and secondary compartments. In the first embodiment, each compartment is a discrete component wherein the secondary compartment is disposed inside the primary compartment. The compartments connect where the valve of the secondary compartment projects through an aperture in the primary compartment. In the second embodiment, the two compartments form an integral unit. The compartments share a common surface such that one compartment is formed inside the other compartment. The primary compartment inflates using a valve disposed on the common surface which terminates at an aperture open to the primary compartment. The secondary compartment inflates using a valve disposed on the common surface in which the aperture opens to the secondary compartment.
