1 设有内部空气通道的双式车轮 CN201380025339.0 2013-05-16 CN104736356A 2015-06-24 奥利维尔·L·诺布朗克; 克里斯多佛·R·伦森; 彼得·K·霍比; 拉里·K·罗杰斯; 奥利维尔·马萨利
发明描述一种用于在一对双式轮胎中维持相等压的系统,并且还结合了气机构,该气门机构将在一个双式车轮轮胎遇到快速漏气的情况下防止另一个双式车轮轮胎变扁。双式车轮通常安装在车辆轮毂上,两个轮盘面相互直接接触。为了确保两个轮胎中的相等压力,本发明设有被机械加工到车轮中的空气通道,使得空气通道在车轮之间的界面处会合,在该处,轮盘面直接接触。这些接缝通过橡胶密封件垫圈密封。于是通过位于任一个车轮上的标准气门,能够将两个轮胎同时充气或放气。在双式车轮布置必需使用双式车轮之间的中间零件的情况下,空气通道能够通过穿过共用中间零件的中间空气通道连接两件式车轮。双式压力均衡气门连接到空气通道,并且嵌入到车轮或中间零件中。

5 Tire Assembly US14451560 2014-08-05 US20160039251A1 2016-02-11 Manar Ashak
A tire assembly includes a tire. The tire has a pair of perimeter walls coupled to and extending inwardly from an outer wall of the tire. The pair of perimeter walls of the tire each has a distal edge with respect to the outer wall of the tire. The distal edge of each of the pair of perimeter walls of the tire defines an opening. The tire may be coupled to a wheel on a vehicle. The tire is one of a pair of the tires each positioned adjacent to one another. A ring is coupled to and extends outwardly from an associated one of the pair of perimeter walls of the tire. The pair of tires is oriented so the ring on each of the pair of tires is directed toward one another. The ring deflects an object outwardly from between the pair of tires.
6 Hybrid wheel and hybrid roadway US12454745 2009-05-21 US07975618B2 2011-07-12 James Kenneth Bullis
The invention is a hybrid wheel apparatus with a hybrid roadway apparatus that greatly reduces the energy lost due to rolling resistance where operation is on the hybrid roadway, but the system is configured to allow operation on conventional roads as needed.The hybrid wheel system is a steel wheel used in combination with a rubber tired wheel. The hybrid roadway is a low profile steel rail fixed to the otherwise conventional road surface, which is preferably concrete but could also be the very common asphalt composition.Where roadways are appropriately equipped with rails, the rail top surface is elevated over the roadway surface, and dimensions are set so that most of load force is carried on the steel wheel for general forward travel. Where the rail is absent the load is carried on the rubber tire, and the steel wheel is elevated above the roadway surface such that contact between the steel wheel and the roadway is prevented.

This invention describes a system to maintain equal pressure in a pair of dual tires, and also incorporates a valve mechanism that will prevent one dual wheel tire from going flat in the event the other dual wheel tire experiences a rapid air loss. Dual wheels are typically mounted on the vehicle hub with both wheel disc faces in direct contact with each other. To ensure equal pressure in both tires, this invention has air passageways machined into the wheels such that the air passageways meet at the interface between the wheels where the wheel disc faces are in direct contact. These junctions are sealed by a rubber seal or gasket. Both tires can then be inflated or deflated simultaneously through a standard air valve located on either wheel. Where a dual wheel arrangement requires the use of an intermediate piece between the dual wheels, air passageways can connect the two-piece wheels via intermediate air passageways going through the common intermediate piece. A dual pressure equalizing valve is connected to the air passageways and embedded into the wheels or intermediate piece.
10 Tire Removal Tool US14632244 2015-02-26 US20150239311A1 2015-08-27 Michael White; Larry Betcher; James Gwilt
A tire removal tool for removing a tire from a dual wheel assembly has a handle having a gripping portion configured to be manually gripped, a head configured for introduction into the space between the wheels, and an intermediate portion connected between the handle and the head. The intermediate portion has a bent configuration so that the tool can extend over the outermost wheel with the head in contact with the inside of the wheel and the handle manually accessible at the outside of the wheel. The head includes an engagement surface arranged to simultaneously contact the sidewall of the innermost wheel to act as a fulcrum for transmitting an upward force applied to the handle to a force at the distal end of the head sufficient to dislodge the tire bead from the rim.

14 TIRE PRESSURE EQUALIZATION SYSTEM US13316889 2011-12-12 US20130146193A1 2013-06-13 Thomas Greenshields STEPHENSON
A tire pressure equalization system for controlling air pressure between a first tire and a second tire has a housing with a bore extending therethrough, a first air passageway with an end opening to an interior of the bore, a second air passageway with an end opening to an interior of the bore, and a valve positioned in the bore. The first air passageway is connected to the first tire. The second air passageway is connected to the second tire. The valve is movable between a first position in which the first air passageway communicates with the second air passageway so as to allow the air to equalize between the first and second tires and a second position that blocks communication between the first air passageway and the second air passageway so as to prevent air from flowing between the first tire and the second tire.
15 Motor vehicle wheel with individually selectable twin pneumatic tires US797830 1985-11-14 US4765383A 1988-08-23 Helmuth Bott
A motor vehicle with twin tires which includes one tire with a winter tread and a further tire with a summer tread arranged on a common rim. Each tire is provided with a device for the air pressure regulation for achieving a selective pressure decrease and increase. The device for the air pressure regulation is connected with a device for the air pressure control by way of a common control unit. Actuating switches influencing the control unit serve for the mutually matched pressure adjustment of the tires for the summer and winter operation.
16 Wheel and tire therefor US3791432D 1972-06-08 US3791432A 1974-02-12 CALULLEROVICH M
A wheel having an inflatable tire and designed to be used on automobiles, airplanes, trucks, and the like. The tire has an outer wall provided with an outer tread surface and surrounding a predetermined axis, this outer wall having a pair of opposed side edge regions from which a pair of side walls extend integrally from the outer wall inwardly toward the axis and terminate in inner peripheral edges which surround the axis. An intermediate wall is integral with the outer wall and is situated between and spaced from the side walls, also extending inwardly toward the axis so as to define with the outer walls a pair of air chambers which are separated from each other by the intermediate wall. The wheel includes a suitable mounting structure on which the tire is mounted in such a way that fluid-tight seals are provided at the inner peripheral edges of the side and intermediate walls. In this way if the tire should become punctured or lose air pressure for any reason at one of its chambers it will still be capable of providing fully operative service as a result of the air pressure in the other of its chambers.
