Abstract:
Eine Drucksicherungs-Vorrichtung (1) für Druckgas gefüllte Räder umfasst mindestens zwei in einem Reifen (4) anzuordnende und dabei nebeneinander entlang von Umfangslinien um die Reifenachse verlaufende kreisringförmig geschlossene Schlauchkammern (2). Die Schlauchkammern (2) sind aus einem flexiblen, luftdichten Flachmaterial gebildet und jede Schlauchkammer (2) ist mit einer Quernaht (7) und mindestens einer Längsnaht (8) ausgebildet, wobei die mindestens eine Längsnaht (8) neben der zentralen Umfangslinie dieser Schlauchkammer (2) verlaufend ringförmig geschlossen ist und sich die Quernaht (7) um die zentrale Umfangslinie dieser Schlauchkammer (2) erstreckt. Wenn eine Schlauchkammer (2) verletzt wird, dehnen sich die anderen intakten Schlauchkammern (2) zusammen auf den gesamten Bereich zwischen Felge (3) und Reifen (4) aus und erlauben eine Weiterfahrt.
Abstract:
A sealant for prevention of blowout (7) having such a property that is easy to flow due to a low viscosity while a vehicle is traveling and is difficult to flow due to a high viscosity while the vehicle is left stationary, wherein the viscosity of the sealant for prevention of blowout (7) filled in a sealant compartment (6) formed along the outer periphery of the air chamber (5) of a tire (T) is set at 25 to 35 dPa.s and a thixotropy value thereof is set at 6.5 to 11.0, whereby the viscosity of the sealant (7) is lowered by the agitating action due to vibration or by a centrifugal force when the tire (T) is rotated by the traveling of the vehicle so as to uniformly distribute the sealant into the sealant chamber (6), the viscosity of the sealant (7) is increased when the vehicle stops and the agitating action is eliminated and, because the sealant (7) is maintained in the state where the sealant (7) is diffused uniformly without being flown to the lower side of the sealant chamber (6) by the gravity, vibration and noise can be prevented even when the vehicle travels at a high speed after a long period of time is elapsed.
Abstract:
Safety device (1) for wheels comprising at least a support body (6): - fitted in a wheel (2) having a tire (3) and a rim (4) associated with each other to define a first tube (5) containing at least a first pressurized fluid for the support of loads acting on the tire (3); and - having a support portion (7) adapted to come at least partially in contact with said tire (3) when said first fluid comes out of said first tube (5); with the support body (6) that defines a second tube (8) fitted in first tube (5) containing a second pressurized fluid and in that it comprises inflating means (12, 19) variable between: - a first configuration, wherein the inflating means (12, 19) are associated with the first tube (5) for the introduction/extraction of the first pressurized fluid; and - a second configuration, wherein they are associated with the second tube (8) for the introduction/extraction of the second pressurized fluid.
Abstract:
A repair boundary indicator for an inflatable tire is disclosed. The repair boundary indicator is located on the interior or the exterior of the tire to indicate the boundary of the area of the tire that can be safely repaired.
Abstract:
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure an inner tube comprises an encasing configured to hold air. The encasing comprises a reinforcing structure configured such that, as the encasing is inflated, an overall major diameter of the inner tube is reduced. The inner tube also comprises an inflation valve coupled to the encasing and configured to allow inflation of the encasing. Further, the inner tube comprises a pressure valve coupled to the encasing. The pressure valve is configured to be biased closed and allow air to leave the encasing when a differential pressure between inside of the encasing and outside of the encasing reaches a threshold pressure level. In the same or alternative embodiments, the encasing also comprises a reinforcing structure configured such that, as the encasing is inflated, an overall major diameter of inner tube is reduced.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a reinforced toric rubber envelope (M), inflated at a pressure p0 higher than pressure p1 of the tyre cavity P wherein it is used, having, when inflated, a crown radius RM less than the deflection radius RE of the inflated tyre, and reinforced in its crown (1) by at least two plies of yarns or cords crisscrossed from one ply to the next, at least one of said plies being a ply (13) of yarns or cords, circumferentially oriented, and in each of its sidewalls by a least a reinforcing ply (120), wound around a reinforcing ring-shaped element (15), each consisting of a core (150) with a breaking force higher than the tension, per ply element, due to the pressure differential p0 - p1 and to the maximum centrifugal force to which said element (15) is subjected and such that it enables the rupture of said elements (15) for a pressure differential p0 - p'1, greater than p0 - 1 and after the bracing ply (13) is ruptured, the core around which is wound at least one yarn or cord (151), the ultimate elongation epsilon R of the reinforcing element (15) being at least equal to the ratio of the difference between the tyre internal meridian length and the envelope external meridian length over the envelope external meridian length.
