Abstract:
A safety support designed to be inserted by a translation operation around a rim bearing in which the radially inner surface of the base of the support contains a plurality of protuberances radially arranged internally.
Abstract:
A tire (1), a mounting rim (2) therefor and a circumferentially unstretchable ring (3) for supporting the tread (10) of the tire when running at low or zero pressure. The tire (1) has a radial ply casing (13) on which the points that are furthest apart axially are radially apart close to seats (12B) of outwardly sloping beads (12). The seats (12B) engage sloping seats (23', 23") on the rim (2), which may have at least one mounting well (22), at least one cylindrical portion (21) for receiving the supporting ring (3) and a rim flange (24).
Abstract:
Support element designed to be fitted to a rim inside a vehicle tire, for supporting the tread of this tire in the event of loss of inflation pressure, including a base, a cover and an annular body in which each supporting partition of the annular body is in the form of an oblique parallelepiped with two circumferentially oriented outer faces arranged on either side of said support element and two faces inclined relative to the circumferential direction by an angle α, two adjacent supporting partitions form a V-shaped pattern, and, at the base of the V, two adjacent supporting partitions are separated by a narrow axial slit extending radially through the whole of the annular body.
Abstract:
A tire (1) a mounting rim (2) therefor, and a prop ring (3) for supporting the tread (10) of the tire when running at low or zero pressure. The tire (1) has a radial ply casing (13) on which the points that are furthest apart axially are radially apart close to seats (12B) of outwardly sloping beads (12). The seats (12B) engage sloping seats (23', 23") on the rim (2), which may have at least one mounting well (22), at least one cylindrical portion (21) for receiving the elongatable and circumferentially unstretchable rubber supporting ring (3) and a rim flange (24).
Abstract:
A bead ring for reinforcing a bead of a pneumatic tire having a carcass ply comprises, on the bead ring surface, ribs made of a material whose secant modulus in extension, measured at 10% elongation and at 160.degree. C., is equal to at least 70 MPa. Pneumatic tires have such a bead ring, the carcass ply being in contact with the ribs.
Abstract:
Run-flat support (1, 2) adapted to be mounted on a rim inside a tire, comprising a substantially cylindrical base (100) adapted to fit around the rim, a substantially cylindrical crown (101) and an annular body (102) linking the base and the crown. The body is composed of a plurality of generally radial partitions (103) distributed over the circumference of the support and of generally radial junctions (106) extending circumferentially and connected by their ends to two adjacent partitions. These junctions (106) are interrupted by very narrow axial incisions (104) extending radially over the entirety of the junction and opening axially on either side of the junction.
Abstract:
A mold and a method for manufacturing a support to be mounted on a rim of a vehicle by injection or transfer molding in which the molding material is force fed into a closed molding cavity. The mold includes an internal core for molding the inner surface of the support, upper and lower platens or shells for molding the body of the support and segments for molding the outer bearing surface. The mold includes a mechanism capable of imparting relative movement to the platens or shells which not only permits opening and closing of the mold but also ensures the specific movements of the core. The core includes at least three separable rigid parts: a center part and at least two complementary parts. The center part has two flat bearings, inclined at the same angle relative to the axis of the mold. These flat bearings are designed to cooperate with corresponding bearings arranged on each of the complementary parts to place the mold in a molding condition or in a stripping condition.

Abstract:
Insert for supporting the tread of a tire and intended to be positioned around the bearing surface of a wheel and including a housing for an electronic module opening radially internally relative to the insert, characterized in that the insert comprises a support part intended to bear the load of the tire under runflat conditions, and an axially adjacent locking part intended to lock one of the beads of the tire onto its wheel seat and in that the housing is positioned in the bead locking part.
