A ROLLING ASSEMBLY
20210114407 · 2021-04-22 ·

The rolling assembly has a rotation axis and comprises a rim having two rim seats that is axially outwardly extended by rim flanges, one adapter and a tire having two beads. The adapter provides the connection between one of the beads and the rim and comprises an axially inner end that is adapted to be mounted on one of the rim seats, an axially outer end that is adapted to receive one of the beads and an adapter body connecting the axially inner end and the axially outer end as to form a single piece. The two rim seats of the rim have different diameters with a gap D. The adapter is mounted onto the rim seat having smaller diameter. The rim seat of the rim has a smaller diameter positions on a side intended to be inside when the rolling assembly being mounted onto a vehicle.

Inflatable tubeless tire

An inflatable tubeless tire includes a carcass, a bead at the lower edge of both sides of the carcass; a cladding layer, continuously covering the bead from the exterior to the interior of the carcass, and both ends of the cladding layer having an overlapped portion between each carcass and a tread and continuously extending to form an external covered portion for covering an area from the outer surface to the bead, and the portion of both sides of the cladding layer covering the interior of the carcass being an internal covered portion, and the uncovered position in the carcass being an elastic portion, and each inner surface in the carcass and the cladding layer jointly forming a gas chamber; at least a separator, partially disposed on a wall surface of the gas chamber for isolating each elastic portion and the inner surface without sticking to one another of the carcass; an air valve module, passing between each opening and the through hole, and having a film fixed to the elastic portion; and an extending part, passing through each film, the cladding layer and the separator; a screw, with an end screwed into the extending part; and the screw having an air valve part therein.

Adapter for a rolling assembly and rolling assembly comprising same

Adapter for a rolling assembly intended to be fitted to a passenger vehicle, with improved mountability and a high capacity for absorbing large deformations in the event of pinch shocks. The adapter has reinforcing element (15) of the axially outer end (9) wholly situated axially on the outside of bearing face (21) and radially on the outside of adapter seat (18), and a main reinforcement (17) having a radial superposition of at least two layers of reinforcers, the reinforcers being mutually parallel within one and the same layer and crossed with one another from one layer to the next. Each of the layers of main reinforcement (17) comprises reinforcers which make, with a circumferential direction (XX) of the tire, an angle at least equal to 30, and coated with a polymer material having an elastic modulus at 10% elongation at most equal to 70 MPa.

Inflation system for tubeless tires

An inflation system for tubeless bicycle tires may include a valve, a sealant canister, a pump head, and/or a valve core adapter. The valve, sealant canister, and pump head may collectively facilitate sealant injection into a tire by a user. The valve has an external valve seat, and includes a valve body, a valve stem extending through the length of the valve body, and a retaining mechanism for the valve stem disposed interior to the valve body. The valve stem is configured to move relative to the valve body, such that a resilient seating surface disposed at a proximal end of the valve stem is displaced relative to a valve seat formed by an exterior surface of a proximal end of the valve body.

The rolling assembly has a rotation axis and a rim having rim seats and flanges, an adapter and a tire having beads. The adapter provides the connection between one of the beads and the rim. The rim comprises a portion of a width W extending outwardly from the flange and a connecting introduction portion and a body. The body has a point A that is 10% of W axially inward from an axially outermost of the body or from an axially outermost of the adapter. The portion creates a virtual straight line GD between an innermost of the connecting introduction portion and the point A. The portion and the adapter has a radial distance d at the point A. The body has a maximum radial distance e from the virtual straight line GD at axially inward from the point A, and the body has no contact with the adapter.
