Abstract: This CTI Valve manifold of this invention creates a wheel-manifold-CTI Valve combination such that an air passageway coming from the wheel hub through the manifold brings air to the valve, and an airway from the valve through the manifold provides air to the tire cavity, preferably via an air passageway in the wheel. The manifold also allows for the CTI valve to deflate the tire, a typical operational requirement for central tire inflation systems.

Abstract: This invention teaches a method of coating a vehicle wheel to increase wear resistance which, in its preferred embodiment, includes the steps of providing a vehicle wheel and applying a wear resistant coating between/intermediate a primer and a topcoat. The wear resistant coating is applied to at least the tire bead flange of the vehicle wheel but may be applied to any area of the wheel. It is advantageously comprised of a MIL-P-53022B Type II lead and chromate free, corrosion inhibiting epoxy primer with an addition of 3% polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and is formulated in such a manner so as to allow “wet on wet” application over a cured MIL-P-53084 primer. This application method improves adhesion through surface to surface covalent reaction between the polymerization of polyurethane top coat and the polymerization of intermediate epoxy polyamide wear resistant coating. The wear resistant coating is of particular use with vehicle wheels made from cast or forged aluminum, but may also be used by itself over steel wheels that have been pretreated to TT-C-490. It may also be used over anodized, electrocoated, or DOD-P-15328 wash primed aluminum as a standalone non CARC wear resistant coating.

Abstract: This nut torque indicator cover includes a cover piece that is joined to an indicator piece. It is fastened to a nut/bolt assembly primarily by pressing it down onto and over the exposed threads of the bolt so that the indicator piece registers with the hex portion of the nut. A snap fit design is incorporated into the nut torque indicator cover such that the cover piece and indicator piece can rotate relative to each other. The cover piece fastens securely to the external threads of the bolt providing protection to the threads, while the indicator piece, secured by the hex flats of the nut, indicates the nut circumferential position, allowing an indication of any torque loss.

Abstract: A standardized wheel balance weight with a weight, a resilient clip attached at one end to the weight, and the opposite end of the clip split into at least two clip portions each defining a different unloaded gap dimension with respect to the weight to accommodate different rim flange thicknesses and contours. The opposite end of the clip may be trifurcated or split into four or more clip portions to define the two different unloaded gap dimensions. The opposite end of the clip also may be at least trifurcated into at least three clip portions to define at least three different unloaded gap dimensions with respect to the weight. Five clip portions may define the three different unloaded gap dimensions. The clip is self-retaining in all instances.

Abstract: In this invention ballistic resistant materials are integrated into a wheel for protection of the Tire Bead Bundle, protection of hardware, and protection of hub components. The Tire Bead Bundle can be protected by supplementing the existing rim flange with ballistic resistant material and/or by placing such material between the flange and the bead bundle. Further, for protection of hardware (including Manual Inflation or CTI Valves), ballistic resistant material can be incorporated over or on wheel hardware. Finally, ballistic resistant materials can be incorporated over or on the wheel hub diameter to reduce the risk of damage due to ballistic attacks.

Abstract: This improved bead locking apparatus and system is based on the provision of an expandable single and/or dual bead lock device with a bead compression ring that thrusts against the bead(s) of tire from the inside and is braced against and via the drop center of the wheel rim and/or an opposing bead compression ring. The aforesaid ring or rings are caused to press against the tire bead(s) via mechanical means actuated by a screw driver or similar implement. In single bead lock designs, the said implement can be inserted between the bead and rim on the side of the wheel opposite from that where the compression ring is located. In other designs, the said implement is inserted through an opening in the rim (which is preferably located in the drop center area of the rim) that is sealed with an O-ring, valve or plug. The bead lock designs of the invention may also be advantageously combined with a run flat ring in order to further facilitate the objects of the invention in assisting and enabling run flat capabilities.
