Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure an inner tube comprises an encasing configured to hold air. The encasing comprises a reinforcing structure configured such that, as the encasing is inflated, an overall major diameter of the inner tube is reduced. The inner tube also comprises an inflation valve coupled to the encasing and configured to allow inflation of the encasing. Further, the inner tube comprises a pressure valve coupled to the encasing. The pressure valve is configured to be biased closed and allow air to leave the encasing when a differential pressure between inside of the encasing and outside of the encasing reaches a threshold pressure level. In the same or alternative embodiments, the encasing also comprises a reinforcing structure configured such that, as the encasing is inflated, an overall major diameter of inner tube is reduced.

Abstract: Sufficient strength of a joint portion is secured in a tire configured by joining together plural tire structuring members formed from a thermoplastic material.A welding thermoplastic material 43 that has been melted is extruded towards joining locations on two tire halves 17A formed from a first thermoplastic material that have been aligned so as to face each other and abut, such that the one tire half 17A and the other tire half 17A are welded together with the welding thermoplastic material 43. Degradation of the thermoplastic material forming the tire halves 17A is suppressed since the tire halves 17A are not themselves melted, and sufficient strength of the joint portion is secured.

Abstract: To provide a pneumatic tire capable of improving the durability of connection points between partition wall parts and a tire inside surface.In a pneumatic tire 10, partition wall parts 24 that extend inward in a tire radial direction from a tire inside surface 17 of tire shoulder parts 21 and whose tire radial direction inside ends contact a rim 12 are disposed. A pair of right and left reinforcement layers 38 are disposed in regions ranging from the partition wall parts 24 to tire side parts 20 via connection parts 29 between the partition wall parts 24 and the tire inside surface 17 such that the reinforcement layers 38 continue from the partition wall parts 24 to the tire side parts 20 via the connection parts 29 between the partition wall parts 24 and the tire inside surface 17. Because of the reinforcement layers 38, the portion of each of the connection parts 29 between the partition wall parts 24 and the tire inside surface 17 where a first carcass ply 32 is disposed and the portion thereof where a second carcass ply 37 is disposed can be prevented from separating, whereby the durability of the connection parts 29 of the partition wall parts 24 can be improved in comparison to what has conventionally been the case.

Abstract: The invention is a high-efficiency wheel product for use with various ground vehicles. The product is designed to provide rolling support to the vehicle and to accommodate various surface conditions, for example, smooth pavement, rough pavement, potholes, dirt roads, and other conditions. The wheel product includes a multi-chambered pneumatic tire designed to minimize energy loss between the tire and a rolling surface by substantially reducing tire flex, a main source of energy loss in ground vehicles. Additionally, the product can reduce the need for conventional drive train elements such as shock absorbers.

Abstract: A run-flat tire of improved load bearing capacity after being punctured is disclosed. The tire has two circumferential sidewalls, at least one circumferential intermediate wall interposed between the sidewalls, and a transverse base extending from one sidewall to the other and defining a compartment between a sidewall and an adjacent intermediate wall or between two adjacent intermediate walls. Each compartment is adapted to assume an expanded symmetrical configuration when an adjacent sidewall or intermediate wall is punctured. A carcass portion is provided within each sidewall, each intermediate wall and base. A shock absorber is provided in the vicinity of a junction connecting each intermediate wall to the base. A padding element is affixed to the inner liner portion applied to the bead wrap of each intermediate wall.

Abstract: A device for serving as a wheel for motor vehicles, where the wheel has its tire tread replaceable when it is worn out via unique rims and molded tire features. An alternate internal structure prevents the tire from “going flat” or “blowing out” when it is punctured or cut. In one variation the tire can be used with existing rims and can be retro-fitted into existing tire by mating the tires with this invention's “Non-Flat Tire” internal element and special rim. A variation of the “Non-Flat Tire” system uses spring-like materials for its tire core that is shaped similar to a tire's inner tube, and functions like an “air-filled” tire, but the absence of the use of air in this unique configuration gives it the “Flat Tire Prevention” effect.

Abstract: A safety tire with relatively even temperature distribution in the tire and an air bladder used for it are provided by smoothly flowing air filled in the tire over the entire tire inside in the air filled state even when an air bladder is housed in a tire. A safety tire 1 is provided with a tire 2 and an air bladder 3 in the hollow toric shape. In the air-filled state, a cavity S1 is formed between the outer surface 8 of the air bladder 3 and the inner surface 9 of the tire 2. In the runflat state, the air bladder 3 is inflated and deformed to take over load support from the tire 2. The air bladder 3 has a raised portion 12 on a specific outer surface area A so as to form a flow passage 13 through which air can flow between the rim and the air bladder. The raised portion 12 has on the side face a rigid reinforcing portion 15 whose width is gradually increased from the top face 14 side to the flow passage 13. The ratio of the flow passage 13 to the specific outer surface area A is in the range of 50 to 95% by area ratio.

Abstract: A tire for an automotive vehicle is described comprising both left and right exterior and interior sidewalls. The space between the respective sidewalls forms two additional tire chambers that are in fluid communication with the tire's primary chamber. Each of the exterior sidewalls include a downwardly facing portion with a treaded outside surface that is canted at an acute angle relative to the primary tread portion such that the treaded outside surfaces do not generally touch the road surface when the vehicle is traveling straight or turning at a low rate of speed. However, when turning at high speed or during hard cornering, one of the treaded surfaces of each depending on the direction of the turn contacts the road surface as the tire deforms and rolls thereby increasing the tire's foot print with the road and consequently the handling capability of the vehicle.
