An object of the present disclosure is to improve, in a tire having a composite body of a member composed of a polyester material and a member composed of a rubber material, adhesion between the two members. In order to achieve the object, the present disclosure provides a tire having a composite body, wherein the composite body comprises: a member composed of a polyester material; a member composed of a rubber material; and an adhesive layer composed of a urethane-based adhesive or an epoxy-based adhesive and provided between the member composed of a polyester material and the member composed of a rubber material.

The present invention provides a non-pneumatic structural bicycle tire, manufactured from TPU, TPE, other thermoplastics including TPS and TPZs, or other polymers and additives, as well as similar or dissimilar plastic such as PLA, ABS, and or recycled plastic material blend. The tire includes structural members of various sizes, thicknesses and angles, both contouring with the wheel, forming both arches, bridges and angled, voids including Euclidian and non-Euclidian triangles, diamonds, “V” shapes and other voids either with or without similar or dissimilar plastic infill between members in various fill levels and designs. The structural members create cross members and supports for transverse protrusions which compress to varying degrees depending on their specific characteristics. The non-pneumatic structural bicycle tire provides increased comfort, weight reduction, and durability when compared to other pneumatic or non-pneumatic tires.

A wheel assembly to be coupled to a hub of a vehicle may include an inner rim to be coupled to the hub of the vehicle, and an outer rim surrounding the hub. The wheel assembly may also include gas springs operatively coupled between the inner rim and the outer rim to provide a gas suspension for relative movement between the inner rim and the outer rim. The wheel assembly may also include a disk coupled to the inner rim and defining a closeable gap with adjacent interior portions of the outer rim to define a mechanical stop to limit relative movement of the inner rim and outer rim.

A non-pneumatic wheel having an annular reinforcement structure that includes rectangular reinforcements within a shear layer. The rectangular reinforcements replace deforming rubber or polymeric materials and can thereby reduce the volume of deforming materials to optimize energy loss therein and reduce rolling resistance of the non-pneumatic wheel.

A system for detection of non-pneumatic tire loading includes a non-pneumatic tire. The non-pneumatic tire includes a ground-contacting annular tread, a central rim, and at least one spoke disk disposed between the rim and the tread. The spoke disk includes an inner ring mounted on the central rim, an outer ring, and spokes extending radially between the inner ring and the outer ring. A shear band is disposed between the outer ring of the spoke disk and the tread. A flange is disposed on an outboard surface of the spokes of the spoke disk. Indicating means are formed on the outboard surface of the plurality of spokes of the spoke disk radially outwardly of the flange. The flange interfaces with the indicating means when the tire is in an overloaded state or is in need of replacement.

A curved support structure for a non-pneumatic tire and a tire incorporating such support structure. A support membrane extends continuously between a radially-inner end and a radially-outer end and defines opposing sides. A radially-outer joint may be provided on one of the opposing sides while a radially-inner joint may be provided on the other side of the membrane. An annular band may be incorporated with the radially-outer joint. A wheel, hub, or other structure may be incorporated with the radially-inner joint.
