Abstract:
The present invention relates to a no-puncture bullet-proof tire, which can prevent a puncture, a tear or a rupture of a tire by a nail, a reinforcing bar piece, a steel plate piece, a bullet, or other various kinds of fragments, and can enable a vehicle to safely run at a high speed of about 100 kilometers or more per hour under a high temperature environment of about 60° C. or more and a low temperature environment of about −60° C. or less, by filling the inside of the tire with a mixture of silicon rubber and spherical EVA foam without an air pressure.
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. With the portion of the tire in the footprint region not bearing a significant portion of the load, non-pneumatic tire may exhibit a more comfortable ride subject to less noise and vibration and improved handling capabilities.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a type of secure and efficient wheel assembly using fluid or solid stuffing materials so as to minimize the blowout risks, a wheel rim transmission assembly, an energy exchanging arrangement used in transporting system, and a vehicle energy storage system, as well as corresponding methods for manufacturing and preparing such assemblies and arrangements in applications.

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:
A tire has its tire cavity filled with inexpensive lubricated light cellular particles and thereby avoids deformation and flattening of the tire upon loss of inflation pressure while maintaining vehicular control.
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire with an internal toroidal safety structure that expands and provides emergency support between the tire tread and the wheel rim if the tire loses inflation pressure. The safety structure has an outer circumferential belt comprising one or more superposed layers of cord reinforced strips, the belt being secured to the safety structure in a relatively narrow central circumferential zone so that radial expansion of the toroidal safety structure is readily accommodated should the tire lose inflation pressure. The belt bears between the inner surface of the tread portion of the tire and the safety structure in the event of tire deflation or underinflation and thus guards against puncture. The safety structure may be an internal inflatable tube or a flexible resilient foam member, for example.
Abstract:
1. A method of bonding previously cured elastomeric tread material to a previously cured elastomeric tire body which is particularly adapted for solid tires permanently mounted on wheels, the method comprising the steps of buffing the tread face of the previously cured tire body, encircling the buffed tread face with a bonding layer of uncured rubber, encircling the uncured rubber with a previously cured tread material, interposing the tire body between a pair of sealing discs each having a circular sealing lip, sealingly engaging the side walls of the tire body with the lips of the discs, encircling the tire body and tread material with a flexible fluid impervious envelope which extends outside the sealing discs, sealingly engaging said lips of said discs with said envelope by exerting radially directed forces on portions of the envelope and pressing the envelope portions into engagement with said discs, and then adhering the tread material to the tire body by curing the interposed rubber while retaining the tread material and tire body in assembled relation with the envelope.
Abstract:
A NOVEL PRODUCT ESPECIALLY SUITABLE AS A PRINTING ROLL IS DISCLOSES HAVING ELASTOMER-COATED FILAMENTS (E.G. SYNTHETIC RUBBER COATED GLASS FILAMENTS) WOUND ON A CORE AT AN ANGLE TO THE CORE AND JOINED AT THE CROSS-OVER POINTS BY THE ELASTOMER. THE FILAMENTS ARE WOUND IN SUCH A MANNER THAT VOID SPACES ARE DEFINED BY THE FILAMENTS.
