161 Safety apparatus for tire US72468 1987-07-13 US4854356A 1989-08-08 Theodore Koutsoupidis
A safety device for suppporting the wheel of a vehicle that has a flat tire. In a first embodiment, two semiwheels are provided which are connected to the wheel hub by a layer of deformable elastomeric material which absorbs the shock that is generated when weight is transferred from the tire to the safety device. Additional support structure is provided that becomes engaged when sufficient weight is placed on the semiwheel. In a second embodiment, a tire is provided with a membrane separating its interior into two independent chambers. The membrane has a circumferential projection for supporting the outer tire tread should the outer chamber suddenly deflate. A novel tool for installing the safety devices of the present invention is also disclosed.
162 Wheel rim fastener US069830 1987-07-06 US4784202A 1988-11-15 Basil D. White
A band-type well obstructor for obstructing the well of the hub of a wheel rim, particularly for a pneumatic tire. The well obstructor has an inextensible band with integral circular protrustions mechanically extruded onto the band. The circular protrusions extend radially inwardly to abut against the base of the well to retain the band in position surrounding the well, and to resist crushing under the weight of the vehicle in the event of deflation of the tire. The well obstructor has a fastener assembly utilizing a screw with a groove adapted to receive a locking ring. The fastener assembly further has two transverse beams, one of which is adapted to fit over the end of the screw and abut against a locking washer placed between the transverse beam and the head of the screw. The locking ring is then snapped into place to hold this transverse beam in position. The second transverse beam is placed over the threaded end of the screw. This transverse beam has a countersunk notch on its lower portion which is adapted to receive a nut and to prevent relative rotation of the nut with respect to the second transverse beam.
163 Rim for a pneumatic vehicle tire US856587 1986-04-25 US4696333A 1987-09-29 Heinz-Dieter Rach; Udo Frerichs
A rim for a pneumatic vehicle tire, the beads of which are adapted to be mounted on the radially inner periphery of the rim. The rim has a rim ring that is provided radially inwardly with seating surfaces for the tire beads. On the lateral edges, the rim ring has essentially radially inwardly extending rim flanges. Furthermore, the rim ring is provided radially outwardly with support surfaces for emergency operation when a puncture, flat tire, etc. is encountered. In order to increase the ability to operate with a flat tire, the wall of the rim ring, in the vicinity of each of the rim flanges, is bent radially outwardly, and is then bent back axially inwardly at a radial spacing relative to the remainder of the rim ring, so that two annular supports are formed for supporting a flat tire.
164 Vehicle wheel rim for engaging tire bead on radial inward surface US690721 1985-01-11 US4662418A 1987-05-05 Jonny Janus
A vehicle wheel has a wheel body or hub, an annular rigid rim mounted on it and an elastic inflatable tire mounted on the rim, the beads of the tire engaging annular recesses present on the inner face of the rim. The rim is provided with side flanks of the same curvature matched to the curvature which the flanks of the tire take up in operation, and between which is provided an annular engaging surface extending over the whole width of the rim from flank to flank, this surface giving the wheel good emergency characteristics. The inserts in the beads of the tire do not need any thickened beads which would adversely affect the resilience of its side walls, but only need to be made constructionally and to hold the reinforcing cords. The rim is made in one piece of a light material such as plastics or aluminum and can form an air reservoir for compressed air which is under high pressure and which automatically replenishes the tire when needed.
165 Tire and rim combination with safety insert US439565 1982-11-05 US4481997A 1984-11-13 Don S. Strader
A safety tire and wheel assembly which includes an improved multiple-piece wheel rim assembly for preventing inflation and/or venting to atmosphere when the rim assembly components are improperly assembled, and an improved safety insert mounted on the wheel rim base for supporting the tire tread during operation following loss of inflation pressure. The wheel rim assembly includes telescoping rim segments and an O-ring normally captured in compression between opposing portions of the rim segments for sealing the tire cavity. Air bleed passages are formed in one rim segment adjacent the sealing ring externally of the cavity to vent the tire cavity to atmosphere when sealing compressive stresses are absent from the O-ring as in the event of improper assembly or disassembly. The safety insert includes a ledge normally disposed within the tire cavity and having a radially facing surface roughened by a circumferential series of axially extending splines. Encapsulated lubricant is carried by the insert in a position to be fractured by the tire tread upon loss of inflation pressure so that the lubricant is spread over the tread-engaging insert surface and retained adjacent the surface between the splines.
166 Wheel rims for pneumatic tires US302592 1981-09-15 US4401144A 1983-08-30 Ralph Wilde
An assembly comprising a wheel rim and an annular safety support member mounted on the rim portion between the rim bead seats and extending radially outwards beyond the rim bead retaining flanges to support a tire mounted on the rim when in a deflated condition. The support member rotates with the rim in the non load-bearing condition but rotates relative to the rim in the load-bearing condition to compensate for circumferential differences between the tire tread and the radially outer surface of the support member. The confronting surfaces on the support member and rim portion are profiled to axially locate the support member on the rim. Preferably the radially inner surface of the support member is of shallow convex profile and the confronting surface on the rim portion is of shallow concave profile.

This specification discloses four basic embodiments of a safety wheel and tire assembly that is mounted on the rim of a conventional vehicle wheel. In each embodiment, a safety wheel is provided in the form of a two-part safety rim which is erected into a position in which the beads of the tire are clamped against the flanges of the wheel rim and a lubricated rolling surface is provided at a radius appreciably less than the radius of the tire when inflated. Mechanism is provided to adjust the safety rim into a position for installation and removal by applying lateral pressure to the side walls of the tire. Latches hold the safety rim in erected position and are released either by the lateral pressure aforesaid or by a tool that is inserted through a hole in the wheel rim that is normally closed by a removable plug.

An arrangement for positioning inside a tubeless tire on a wheel rim includes annular segments that are adapted to be secured together to form a ring on the rim. A band surrounds the annular segments and has its end secured to an adjacent pair of the annular segments to provide a continuous surface. Resilient means, preferably in the form of spring means, is positioned on said annular segment and overlaps said band, with the annular segments and band being constructed and arranged to maintain said spring means thereon while accommodating circumferential movement of said spring along said band when the tubeless tire engages thereagainst to aid in feeding the tubeless tire around the wheel rim when deflated.
