Abstract:
An assembly including a deformable, inextensible tread-bearing support S, which can be slipped on to a suitable rim bearing surface (11). The bearing surface (11) extends axially towards the inside of a first rim seat (13′), which is in turn extended to the outside by a protrusion or hump (15′) of low height. The first rim seat (13′) is inclined towards the outside. A second rim seat (13″) having, viewed in meridian section, a generatrix, the axially inner end of which is located on a circle of diameter D″A greater than the diameter of the circle on which is located the axially inner end D′A of the first rim seat (13′). The two seats being, axially to the inside, extended by frustoconical portions (17, 14) of a height at least equal to 0.01 times the minimum diameter of the bearing surface (11), and the generatrices of which form with the axis of rotation angles &agr; at least equal to 45°. The rim bearing surface (11) is provided with at least one circumferential protuberance (115) arranged in a circumferential groove (30) of the radially inner face of the tread bearing support S, such that the protuberance (115) axially comes to bear and butt up against at least one lateral wall of the groove (30).
Abstract:
A structurally supported tire includes an outer annular band, and a plurality of web spokes extending transversely across and radially inward from the annular band and anchored in a wheel or hub. The annular band may further comprise a shear layer, at least a first membrane adhered to the radially inward extent of the shear layer, and at least a second membrane adhered to the radially outward extent of the shear layer. A preferred web spoke has a cutaway section transverse to the annular band. The cutaway section has a profile formed by straight line segments joined by a blending radius. The profile of the cutaway comprises a height and a maximum depth greater than five percent of the height and less than thirty percent of the maximum width. The profile has an angle alpha formed by a line tangent to the profile relative to the horizontal at least equal to ten degrees at the radially outermost and radially innermost extent of said profile. The minimum radius of curvature of the profile is at least equal to twenty percent of the height of the cutaway section.
Abstract:
A rim having a bearing support located between its two rim seats, which bearing support is intended to receive a support ring, is characterized in that this bearing surface comprises at least one surface clamping part, each surface clamping part being regularly distributed in the circumferential direction over the bearing surface and having a maximum external development Ds, measured on an enveloping surface concentric to the bearing surface, which is greater than the development Dp of the bearing surface, in order to create mechanical clamping between a support ring and the surface clamping part which is appropriate to ensure holding of the ring on the bearing surface during travel.
Abstract:
An assembly is formed of a tire (1), a mounting rim (2), and an annular bearing support (3) for the tread (10) of the tire, for running at low pressure or at zero pressure. The rim (2) has two seats (23', 23"), the first seat (23') having an outwardly inclined generatrix and being axially outwardly extended by a shoulder or hump (25'), and the second seat (23") having an inwardly inclined generatrix and being axially outwardly extended by a flange (24). The tire (1) has a radial carcass reinforcement (13) with a particular meridional profile and two beads (12', 12") adapted to the mounting rim (2). The tread supporting ring (3) is ovalizable and circumferentially inextensible.
Abstract:
A vehicle's tire pressure is monitored such that an actual pressure (Pm) measured within the tire is compared to a set pressure (PcTm) which has been corrected for the measured value of the temperature (Tm) in order to trigger a pressure alert in the event of a pressure leak. If the tire is cooling, the pressure alerts are stopped if the variation temperature per unit of time (a negative value in a cooling tire) is less than a threshold temperature drift value (also a negative value). Thus, the pressure alerts are stopped when the tire cools at a rapid rate, indicating that the tire is not moving.

Abstract:
A centralized device for dealing with the phenomena of loss of pressure and running flat with a vehicle tire, comprising a means external to the mounted assembly, permanently fixed to the vehicle and able to inject or otherwise bring into the internal cavity of the tire at least one active product, also external to the mounted assembly, and able to treat the phenomena of loss of pressure and ultimately running flat.
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:
A tire of the closed torus type is made solid with a rim due to bead wireshich hug a body tightly between themselves and the rim. At each lateral end of the rim, a shoulder is provided and extended by a seat. Diameter .phi..sub.s of the seat is always less than the shoulder diameter .phi..sub.c, and the shape of the bead wire assumes the shape of the rim over at least a 45.degree. sector.
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.
