A connection stabilizing mechanism between a solid tire and a bicycle rim. The connection stabilizing mechanism includes multiple fastening members connecting a solid tire with a bicycle rim. Each of the fastening members has a plate-shaped base section engaged with the bicycle rim and an extension section inserted into the solid tire. A free end of the extension section is inserted into the solid tire. A ratio of an extension length of the extension sect ion to a tire height of the solid tire is between 1:1.5 and 1:2.6, thereby maintaining a relative position of the center of a main body of the solid tire relative to the rim. Thus, the solid tire is prevented from being detached from the rim due to excessive lateral movement of the central position of the main body of the solid tire.

A connection structure between airless tire and rim and fastening members thereof. The connection structure includes: a rim having an annular rim body and an annular connection groove formed on outer circumference of the rim body; an airless tire having an annular tire body coaxially fitted on the rim body, multiple sockets radially extending from inner circumference of the tire body into the tire body; and multiple fastening members. Each of the fastening members has an extension section with a predetermined length. The extension section is coaxially inserted in the corresponding socket with one end protruding from an opening of the socket on the inner circumference of the tire body. The fastening member further has a base section fixedly connected with one end of the extension section. The base section is engaged in the connection groove. The fastening members serve to securely connect the airless tire with the rim.

A wheel assembly for an agricultural implement and method of forming the agricultural wheel assembly includes a tire body, an annular ring, and a hub. The tire body has an inner wall and an outer wall collectively defining an annular pocket therebetween. The inner wall defines a central, axial hole through the tire body and has a circumferential slot extending therethrough. The annular ring is positioned within the circumferential slot and secured to the tire body such that the annular ring projects radially inward through the circumferential slot to the axial hole. As such, the annular ring is configured to operatively engage the hub such that the tire body mounts to the hub.

A wheel assembly includes a collapsible wheel and an airless flexible tire mounted on the wheel. The wheel includes a central portion and a plurality of circumferentially spaced mounting elements attached to the central portion. Each of the mounting elements is movable between a retracted position and an extended position, and may be pivotally attached to the central portion of the wheel and configured to pivot between the retracted position and the extended position. The tire may be positioned on the wheel when one or more of the mounting elements is in the retracted position, and the one or more mounting elements are moved to the extended position wherein the mounting elements engage and support the tire.

The present invention is provided with: a mounting body mounted on an axle; a ring-shaped body (13) surrounding the mounting body from an outside in a tire radial direction; a connecting member (15) configured to connect the mounting body and the ring-shaped body (13) such that the mounting body and the ring-shaped body (13) are displaceable; and a cylindrical tread member (16) mounted over the ring-shaped body (13), wherein grooves (51, 52) are formed at an outer peripheral surface of a portion located above and corresponding to a portion of the tread member (16) at which the ring-shaped body (13) and the connecting member (15) are connected.

A modular non-pneumatic tire includes a first annular tire module and a second annular tire module coaxial with the first annular tire module. The first annular tire module includes a first inner ring, a first outer ring coaxial with the first inner ring, first support structure extending between the first inner ring and the first outer ring, and a first circumferential tread extending about the first outer ring. The second annular tire module includes a second inner ring, a second outer ring coaxial with the second inner ring, second support structure extending between the second inner ring and the second outer ring, and a second circumferential tread extending about the second outer ring. The first and second circumferential treads are asymmetrical. The first circumferential tread has a first orientation and the second circumferential tread has a second orientation that is different from the first orientation.

A tire includes a plurality of rim members disposed at different positions on a same axis, a plurality of body springs that connect between the respective plurality of rim members, and an interlink member that interlinks the adjacent body springs. Each of the plurality of body springs includes an elastic deformable portion, and latch portions that are provided at both ends of the elastic deformable portion and have a different shape from the elastic deformable portion. The latch portions are latched on the rim members.

A rim assembly for a tire includes an outer rim having an outer annular surface and an inner surface. The rim assembly also has an inner rim with an outer surface, wherein the inner surface of the outer rim has a first plurality of axial grooves that define a first plurality of axial ridges. The outer surface of the inner rim has a second plurality of axial grooves that define a second plurality of axial ridges. The second plurality of axial grooves have a cross-sectional geometry corresponding to a cross-sectional geometry of the first plurality of axial ridges, and the second plurality of axial ridges have a cross-sectional geometry corresponding to a cross-sectional geometry of the first plurality of axial grooves.
