Abstract: A segmented tire apparatus includes generally arcuate tire segments each including a radial tread extending along an outer circumference of the respective tire segment. Each tire segment further includes a first group of semi-transverse treads extending from at least adjacent to the radial tread in a first direction and a second group of semi-transverse treads extending from at least adjacent to the radial tread in a second direction. Each one of the second group of semi-transverse treads is positioned in an offset but substantially aligned orientation relative to an associated one of the first group of semi-transverse treads. In an alternative embodiment, a segmented tire apparatus includes a plurality of tire segments mountable onto a rim, with a plate positioned between a first one of the plurality of tire segments and a second one of the plurality of tire segments.

Abstract translation: 分段轮胎装置包括大体上弓形的轮胎段，每个轮胎段包括沿相应轮胎段的外圆周延伸的径向胎面。 每个轮胎段还包括从第一方向至少相邻于径向胎面延伸的第一组半横向胎面，以及在第二方向上至少相邻于径向胎面延伸的第二组半横向胎面。 所述第二组半横向胎面中的每一个相对于所述第一组半横向胎面中的相关联的一个定位在偏移但基本上对准的取向中。 在替代实施例中，分段轮胎设备包括可安装到轮辋上的多个轮胎段，其中板位于多个轮胎段中的第一个轮胎段和第二轮胎段之间。
