    Abstract: A connector system and tire assembly includes an elongate integral air passageway contained within a flexible tire component of a tire carcass, the air passageway extending between an air inlet cavity and an air outlet cavity in the flexible tire component, and the air passageway extending at least a partial circumferential path around the tire carcass. A hollow dome-shaped inlet nut seats within the inlet cavity and a hollow dome-shaped outlet nut seats within the outlet cavity. The inlet nut couples to an air inlet device for conducting air external to the tire carcass into the inlet nut central chamber; and the outlet nut outward body side couples to a valve device positioned within the tire cavity.

    Abstract: An air-maintenance tire system includes: a tire having a tire carcass comprising a tire cavity defined by a tire inner liner and first and second sidewalls extending respectively from first and second tire bead regions to a tire tread region; compression actuator means mounted to the tire carcass and configured for operative actuation by tire deformation during a tire revolution; and a pump assembly affixed to the tire carcass and comprising a compressor body affixed to the compression actuator means and having an internal air chamber. The air chamber has an inlet opening for admitting air into the internal air chamber and an outlet opening for conducting air from the internal air chamber to the tire cavity. The compressor body further includes a flexible membrane member located within the internal air chamber and operatively deforming within the internal air chamber responsive to contacting engagement with the compression actuator means between an open position relative to the inlet opening permitting air flow from the inlet opening into the air chamber and a closed position relative to the inlet opening obstructing air flow from the inlet opening into the air chamber. The membrane member during operational deformation between the open and closed positions compresses a volume of air within the air chamber. The first air-maintenance tire system further includes a hook-and-loop system for securing the compression actuator means and the compressor body to the tire carcass.

    Abstract: A pneumatic tire assembly includes a tire, a filter element disposed between a pneumatic cavity and atmosphere. The filter element has threads for securing to the pneumatic tire. First and second sidewalls extend respectively from first and second tire bead regions to a tire tread region. The first sidewall has a bending region operatively bending when radially within a rolling tire footprint. A sidewall groove defines groove walls positioned within the bending region of the first tire sidewall. The sidewall groove deforms in response to bending of the bending region of the first sidewall while radially within the rolling tire footprint. An air passageway is defined by the sidewall groove and deforms when radially within the rolling tire footprint.
