    Abstract: A wheel assembly includes a rigid wheel and an airless tire. The wheel includes a cylindrical rim portion that is parallel with an axis of rotation of the wheel and includes a transversely flat outer surface corresponding to at least eighty percent of the total width of the rim portion. The tire is mounted on the rim portion of the wheel and includes a cylindrical tire body presenting a transversely flat inner surface that engages the outer surface of the wheel. A plurality of traction lugs are spaced circumferentially around the tire and extend radially outwardly from the tire body. A plurality of drive lugs are spaced circumferentially around the tire, extend radially inwardly from the tire body and engage corresponding receptacles on the rim portion of the wheel.

    Abstract: A non-pneumatic tire for supporting a load by working in tension comprising a generally annular inner surface, a generally annular outer ring, and an interconnected web having a plurality of web elements and comprising a plurality of generally polygonal openings. Web elements are sized, oriented and comprised of a material that facilitates buckling when subjected to a compressive load. By buckling, those elements in a deformed portion of the tire between a hub and a footprint region where the tire contacts a surface may assume a significantly reduced portion of the load, if any. This causes web elements in other portions of the interconnected web to operate in tension to support the load. Since the tire is non-pneumatic, it may be easier to maintain and may have a longer life than standard pneumatic tires since it eliminates the possibility of blowouts, flat tires, or tires operating with low air pressure. By virtue of the portion of the tire in the footprint region not bearing a significant portion of the load, non-pneumatic tire may also exhibit a more comfortable ride subject to less noise and vibration and improved handling capabilities.

    Abstract translation: 一种非充气轮胎,用于通过在张力下工作来支撑负载,包括大致环形的内表面,大体上环形的外圈,以及具有多个腹板元件并且包括多个大体上多边形的开口的互连腹板。 网元件的尺寸,取向和由承受压缩载荷时有利于屈曲的材料构成。 通过弯曲,在轮毂和轮胎与表面接触的覆盖区域之间的轮胎的变形部分中的那些元件可以承受负载的显着减少的部分(如果有的话)。 这导致互连网的其他部分中的网状元件在张力下操作以支撑负载。 由于轮胎是非气动的,因此它可以比标准充气轮胎更容易维护并且可以具有更长的使用寿命,因为它消除了排气孔,扁平轮胎或低空气压力下运行的轮胎的可能性。 由于轮胎在足迹区域中不承载大部分负载的部分,所以非充气轮胎也可以呈现更舒适的乘坐体,具有更少的噪音和振动以及改进的处理能力。

    Abstract: A resilient tire that supports a load without internal air pressure includes a ground contacting tread portion and sidewall portions extending radially inward from said tread portion and anchored in bead portions. A bias ply carcass extends between the beads to support the sidewalls. A reinforced annular band is disposed radially inward of the tread portion. The band comprises an elastomeric shear layer at a radially outer side of the bias ply carcass and a membrane adhered to a radially outward side of the elastomeric shear layer. Each of the bias ply and membrane has a longitudinal tensile modulus sufficiently greater than the shear modulus of the shear layer so that when under load the ground contacting portion of the tire deforms to a flat contact region through shear strain in the shear layer while maintaining constant the length of the membranes.

    Abstract: A tire includes a tread region, a rim region, and a further region between the tread region and the rim region. The further region may include a foamed rubber. The foamed rubber may be one of cellular rubber or closed cell cellular rubber. The tire having further regions made of closed cell cellular rubber may be made as an integral solid rubber tire in a mold, such as a split mold in a one-step process. The tire may likewise be made in a multi-step process by molding each of the tread, rim, and further regions as distinct radial layers in separate molds and bonding the three separate radial layers together to form a tire having the desired characteristics.

    Abstract: A pair of roller skis 300 each constituted by attaching elastic wheels 302 to a boot-placing plate 301 in the front thereof and at the back thereof. The elastic wheels 302 each comprises a wheel supporting means having a circular rim part on the outer periphery and a tire part mounted on the circular rim part of the wheel supporting means and being elastically deformable in the direction perpendicular to the running direction of the wheel. Each elastic wheel 302 enables the running direction thereof to be simply changed with the wheel shaft kept in the same direction, and utilization of the features permits a skier to operate the roller skis with a feeling similar to that afforded by conventional snow skis.

    Abstract: The running characteristics of a tire for a wheel are improved to provide a more quiet run, by attaching to an inner and/or outer surface of the tire vibration absorbing elements. Vibration absorbing elements may even be inserted into the tire material itself. The vibration absorbing elements are secured to the tire surface in a force and moment or torque transmitting manner by vulcanization or by a suitable adhesive. A strap may hold the individual absorbing elements together or the elements may form integral parts of the strap which is secured to the tire surface, for example, by a rubber vulcanizing operation. The vibration absorber elements may be secured to an inner tube instead of to the tire.
