METHOD OF ASSEMBLING SPOKES INTO A NON-PNEUMATIC TIRE
A method of assembling spokes into a non-pneumatic tire (10) is provided in which a shear band (16) is located outward from a hub (12) in a radial direction. A segment (20) is present that has a plurality of spokes (22), and both inner and outer radial bonding ends (24, 26). The plurality of spokes (22) engage both of these bonding ends (24, 26). The outer radial bonding end (24) is attached to the shear band (16) using adhesive (28), and the inner radial bonding end (26) is attached to the hub (12) using adhesive (28). This segment (20) extends less than 360 degrees about the central axis (14) in a circumferential direction.
Rolling assembly
Rolling assembly comprising tire P, rim J, adapter connecting a bead and the rim. The adapter has axially outer (9) and inner (10) ends mounted on rim seat (7) having respective outer (16) and inner (20) reinforcers. Body (11) connects the outer (9) and inner (10) ends forming a single piece, an adapter seat (18) receives a bead and is situated at end (9), an adapter bearing face (21) in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis, and situated on the axially inner face of outer end (9). Reinforcer (20) of end (9) is axially outside bearing face (21). The body comprises, opposite adapter seat (14), annular seat reinforcer (19) and the adapter comprises conductive strip (22) positioned over all or part of the circumferential perimeter of said adapter and along a complete path extending from adapter seat (14) to rim flange (8).
Tire/wheel assembly and tread ring
A tire-wheel assembly comprises a wheel coupled to a rotating shaft; an elastic tube disposed on an outer side of the wheel with respect to a radial direction, the interior of the tube being filled with air; a rigid protective ring disposed on an outer side of the tube with respect to the radial direction separated from the wheel; and a tread ring disposed on an outer side of the protective ring with respect to the radial direction, an inner circumferential surface of the tread ring contacting an outer circumferential surface of the protective ring.
