| 122 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING MADE-TO-ORDER DESIGNS ON THE SURFACE OF AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL BODY | US14461569 | 2014-08-18 | US20140373988A1 | 2014-12-25 | Gary FISHER |
| A method for producing designs involves receiving a request to create a design on the surface of an extraterrestrial body, transmitting a control signal to a device on a vehicle on the extraterrestrial body, the control signal causing the device to create the design, and receiving an image signal providing an image of the design created on the surface. A device for producing the designs includes a surface altering tool configured to rearrange material on the surface. The tool may be provided as a configurable-tread rover wheel that includes a wheel hub having radially-extending channels, and tread elements supported in the channels that are selectively articulatable under the control of a control module to form a tread pattern corresponding to a design intended to be produced. The tread elements may be selectively extended or retracted by operation of an array of solenoids controlled by the control module. | ||||||
| 123 | SEGMENTED WHEEL AND METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING A SEGMENTED WHEEL | US14214109 | 2014-03-14 | US20140265536A1 | 2014-09-18 | Carl E. Hein |
| An adaptable wheel has a central hub, radial segments connected to the central hub at a proximal end and extending radially from the central hub, each radial segment having a linear actuator configured to change a length of the radial segment; a shoe connected to a distal end of the radial segment for contacting a surface being traversed by the wheel; and a locking mechanism for selectively preventing linear motion of the linear actuator. A control system for an adaptable wheel includes a distance sensor on a vehicle for determining distance to a surface in the path of the vehicle and a computer for receiving distance information from the distance sensor and, responsive to the distance information, determine a desired length of a segment of an adaptable wheel for maintaining a hub of a wheel level, and provide control signals to a linear actuator of the segment. | ||||||
| 124 | Spoked wheel | US12664324 | 2008-06-12 | US08371659B2 | 2013-02-12 | Duncan Fitzsimons |
| The present invention provides a spoked wheel including a rim having a continuous series of circumferential sections each of which has opposed ends and is connected at each of its ends to an adjacent section by means of a hinge that allows the two adjacent sections to pivot with respect to each other substantially in the plane of the wheel. The wheel also includes a hub that rotates with the rim and a plurality of spokes extending between the hub and the rim and supporting the rim on the hub. Each of the spokes having an end that is pivotally attached to the rim. At least one of the spokes is movable with respect to the hub in the plane of the wheel to change the angular spacing between adjacent spokes and alter the shape of the rim between a circular shape and a non-circular shape. | ||||||
| 125 | Anti-sink rim | US11914623 | 2006-05-12 | US08251458B2 | 2012-08-28 | Philippe Biesse |
| Device used to free a vehicle that is stuck in terrain or to reduce such risk through the use of an additional tread disposed parallel to each wheel of the vehicle. The additional tread can be an air chamber (2 or 10a and 10b) covered or not with a tire (11) or a band comprising different coupling profiles (13, 14 or 15). The tread is mounted onto an anti-sink rim comprising a conical profile (1.2) and a flange (1.1) centered in and applied against the outer side of the wheel disc by special bolts (6) inserted in respective openings in the flange and rim. The diameter of the system is smaller than that of the wheel to facilitate mounting and to avoid interference with the vehicle body. The conical shape of the rim profile (1.2) lends stiffness and enables the rims to be stacked for reduced storage volume in trunk. | ||||||
| 126 | Solid Vacuum Wheel and Tire Assembly | US13443452 | 2012-04-10 | US20120193005A1 | 2012-08-02 | Michael Marion McCulley |
| A solid vacuum wheel and tire assembly incorporating a vacuum to adhere a solid tire in place against a wheel rim, allowing for safe and reliable operation. The assembly incorporates a flexible solid tire core which contracts into place after a vacuum is applied, contracting and adhering directly onto the wheel rim and filling a void between the rim and tire, having no air pressure to go flat or release if punctured. Vacuum channels installed along the wheel rim direct a vacuum seal to the tire core. A vacuum valve is installed into a vacuum chamber, which acts as a conduit to direct the vacuum throughout the assembly. The solid tire incorporates a possible concave shaped tire tread configuration, tire tread rubber and a steel belt. The solid tire core material comprising of solid or porous rubber, jell or a combination of each provides a solid flexible non-pneumatic core structure. | ||||||

| 131 | Adjustable diameter wheel assembly, and methods and vehicles using same | US10417296 | 2003-04-16 | US06860346B2 | 2005-03-01 | Ian T. Burt; Nikolaos P. Papanikolopoulos |
| A powered wheel assembly, and method and ground-engaging vehicle (e.g., a robotic vehicle) using the same, are provided. The vehicle incorporates at least one of the wheel assemblies on its chassis body. In addition to its ability to propel the vehicle across a surface, the wheel assembly is reconfigurable between a retracted configuration, wherein the wheel assembly has a first rolling diameter, and an expanded configuration, wherein the wheel assembly has a second rolling diameter greater than the first rolling diameter. A drive motor assembly may both rotate the wheel assembly, e.g., propel the vehicle across a surface, and selectively actuate the wheel assembly from the first rolling diameter to the second rolling diameter, or to any intermediate rolling diameter. | ||||||
| 132 | Variable outer diameter wheel for vehicles | US740092 | 1996-10-24 | US5839795A | 1998-11-24 | Yutaka Matsuda; Kaoru Shimizu |
| A variable outer diameter wheel includes a generally cylindrical pipe or drum having four equally spaced penetrating holes or receiving parts in the cylindrical wall, a diaphragm sealing member corresponding to each of the penetrating holes and fitted to the pipe support, and sliders forming a wheel peripheral face so that the sliders can smoothly slide in the penetrating holes. The sliders are pushed or activated and moved outward from the pipe in a direction so the wheel outer diameter is enlarged by compressed air supplied through a passage and a hole provided in an axle which support the wheel. Exhausting the compressed air causes the wheel outer diameter to decrease and restores the wheel to its original size. Variable outer diameter wheels permit safe operation of vehicles on frozen, snow-clad or irregular surfaced roads. | ||||||
| 133 | Skate train | US312564 | 1994-09-26 | US5560300A | 1996-10-01 | John R. Schneider |
| To provide a railroad car design that allows the car to travel at high speeds over current roadbeds at very low fuel costs per mile a special rail is formed. This rail has the form of a wave shaped on its top with the troughs and crests of the wave repeating themselves every several feet apart continuously down both tracks for the whole distance of the railroad. When a wheel of this multi-wheeled car comes over the crest of a wave it has encountered as it moves down this wave formed track, the wheel immediately begins supporting its computer calculated portion of the weight of the car on a cushion of air pressure forced into its supporting air cylinder at that moment and rolls down the face of the wave in its desired direction of travel. Upon reaching the bottom of the wave's trough and starting to roll up the up hill portion of the wave form, the wheel is pushed back up into its supporting air cylinder thus expelling the trapped air by the upgrade created as the track shade ascends back up out of its trough to form the next wave crest. To stop the car, the trapped air pressure in the extended air cylinder is not allowed to exit its cylinder as fast as it normally would as each wheel is retracting on the upgrade out of its wave's trough. | ||||||
| 134 | Cog-augmented wheel for obstacle negotiation | US183953 | 1988-04-20 | US4919489A | 1990-04-24 | M. Alan Kopsco |
| A vehicle for overcoming obstacles includes a wheel having an elastomeric flexible annulus upon which the wheel normally rides. Parallel spaced sprockets receive the annulus and include individual cogs which extend less radially outwardly than the annulus. When an obstacle is encountered, the flexible annulus yields, thereby enabling a protruding cog to engage the obstacle and pivot around it thereby lifting the vehicle over the obstacle. | ||||||
