TIRE
A tire (10), including a circular tire frame (17) including a resinous material, the resinous material including at least polypropylene and having a pentad ratio of from 88.2% to 93.4%. The resinous material may include at least a first resin that is polypropylene and a second resin that is different from the first resin.
TIRE HAVING SCREW-TYPE NOZZLE
A tire includes a tire body, a sealing film fastened to two side edge portions of the tire body and defining a gas chamber with the tire body, and a nozzle including an inserting member and an exterior screw member. The inserting member has an inner stopping portion disposed on an inner surface of the sealing film, a screw rod extended from the inner stopping portion and through the sealing film, and a gas-charging channel passing through the inner stopping portion and the screw rod and communicating with the gas chamber. The exterior screw member is screwed onto the screw rod and directly or indirectly urged against an outer surface of the sealing film.

Bead lock with wheel flange protection
A system. The system includes a wheel, a tire and a bead lock assembly. The wheel defines an axis of rotation and includes an outboard wheel flange and an inboard wheel flange. The tire is mounted on the wheel, and the tire and the wheel cooperate to define a tire cavity. The bead lock assembly is within the tire cavity, and has a radially outermost surface which is a first distance from the axis of rotation. At least one of the outboard and inboard wheel flanges has a radially outermost surface which is a second distance from the axis of rotation. The first distance is greater than the second distance.
Adapter For Rolling Assembly And Rolling Assembly Comprising Same
An adapter for a rolling assembly comprising a tire having two beads (B), a rim (J) with two rim seats (7), said adapter connecting one of the beads and the rim. The adapter has an axially inner end (10) comprising inner reinforcer element (16), and an axially outer end (15) comprising outer reinforcer element (15), respectively mounted on a rim seat (7). Body (11) connects said outer end (9) to said inner end (10). Main reinforcement connects said outer reinforcer (15), and said inner reinforcer (16), a substantially cylindrical adapter seat (18) receiving one of said beads (B), an adapter bearing face (21) substantially contained in a plane perpendicular to the rion otataxis. The reinforcer element (15) of the axially outer end (9) is entirely situated axially outside the bearing face (21), and in that the body (11) comprises, opposite the adapter seat (7), an annular seat reinforcer (19).

Adapter For Rolling Assembly And Rolling Assembly Comprising Same
An adapter for a rolling assembly having a rotation axis and comprising a tire having two beads, a rim, said adapter having an axially inner end to be mounted on the rim seat and comprises an inner reinforcer element, an axially outer end to be mounted on the rim seat and comprises an outer reinforcer element, a body that connects said outer end to said inner end so as to form a single piece and comprises a main reinforcement connecting said outer reinforcer and said inner reinforcer, a substantially cylindrical adapter seat receiving one of said beads, an adapter bearing face substantially contained in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis. The reinforcer of the axially outer end is entirely outside the bearing face, and the body comprises, opposite the adapter seat, an annular seat reinforcer having a compression modulus greater than or equal to 1 GPa.

Tire and rim seal for a wheel
A tire and rim seal is disclosed by which to reliably seal the beads of a tire against the rim of a wheel on which the tire is mounted so as to advantageously prevent the tire from leaking air and slipping off the beads of the rim. The tire and rim seal includes an elastomer that is seated on the rim and a rigid backing that lays on top of the elastomer. A plurality of threaded bolts extend from the rigid backing and run through the elastomer and the rim of the wheel. A corresponding plurality of threaded nuts are rotated around the threaded bolts and tightened against the rim so as to pull the rigid backing towards the rim. Accordingly, a compressive force is generated by which to cause the elastomer to be sandwiched between the rigid backing and the rim so as to expand along the rim and move into sealing engagement with the rim and the beads.
