Abstract: The present invention relates to a radial tire and a radial tire-rim assembly. The radial tire (1) has a pair of beads (2), each bead having a bead core (3) and a bead apex (5), a carcass (4), with both edges thereof folded back around said bead core and fastened to said bead core, a tread (6), a belt layer (7), and an aspect ratio smaller than 60%. The tread is wider (in the axial direction) than the maximum width of said carcass and the edges of said tread are positioned within a range of 50-100% of the height of the cross-section of the carcass. This structure provides the tire side with rigidity and permits the tread to deform so that is supports the weight of the car and runs safely even when the tire pressure is decreased. The radial tire-rim assembly is characterized in that the bead of the radial tire has a toe (9) extending inward (in the radial direction of the tire) and is further provided with a hump groove (10) corresponding paramently,, the rim (20 ) has an annular groove (22) and hump (23) which fit into the toe and groove, respectively. These arrangements prevent the bead from separating from the rim when the tire pressure is decreased or at a time of sharp cornering.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a rim and an assembly of the rim and a tire which are applicable to both a safety tire and a conventional tire. The object of the present invention is to provide a rim and an assembly which enable safe running even when the inner pressure of the tire is lowered or when the vehicle is cornering sharply, and which are usable with not only a safety tire but also with conventional tires. A wheel rim and an assembly of the rim and tubeless tire of the present invention are characterized in that an annular groove (3) is provided axially outside a well (2) in such a manner as to extend in the circumferential direction, and a hump (4) is provided axially outside the annular groove in such a manner as to extend in the circumferential direction. The tubeless tire is characterized by being provided with a toe portion (13) and a hump groove (14) which are adapted to engage the annular groove (3) and the hump (4), respectively.

Abstract: A vehicle road wheel is disclosed having a safety groove adjacent its outboard rim edge but so as to be within a tire fitted to the wheel and within which a flexible band is fitted so that a tire fitted to the wheel has it outboard bead embraced between the flexible band and the outboard rim edge of the wheel. This enables the the configuration of the wheel rim to be simplified and hence the risk of damaging a tire when fitting it is minimized. The safety groove can be in a tire sealing member of annular form that is held in position around the wheel by inboard and outboard rim parts that are releasably secured together, this sealing member defining the outboard rim edge of the wheel. There are also disclosed, where the sealing member is present, inboard and outboard non-rigid torque transfer bands respectively fitted to the inboard and outboard rim parts and with which the sealing member is engaged.

Abstract: A tire bead retainer for mounting on a wheel rim in which a locking member is located adjacent a bead seat of the rim. The locking member is depressed by the beads during mounting of the tire on the rim and is moved back into the locking position for retaining the bead after the bead is seated in the bead seat. The bead retainer may be mounted on a rim prior to mounting of the tire and either the locking member or the complete retainer may be removable for removing the tire from the rim. Several retainers may be spaced around the wheel rim to engage the tire bead at several spaced-apart positions at one side of the rim.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire and vehicle wheel assembly, the wheel being of the split-rim type without a tire mounting well in the base portion of the rim. A support member is provided extending radially fr0m the base portion of the rim to contact and support the tread region of the tire when the tire is wholly or partially deflated. The support member is preferably of L-section so as to have a cantilever flange to contact the tire and is preferably heat-conductive. A lubricant is preferably included in the tire cavity which will be between the tire and support member when the former contacts the latter. The support member is preferably adjacent one of the bead seats of the rim to serve the secondary purpose of retaining the tire bead on said seat. The support member may be an integral, radially outer part of the wheel disc or a separate, annular component surrounding the base portion of the rim.
