Description
SPECIFICATION
A wheel having a rim and tyre spacer means
This invention relates to a wheel having a rim and tyre spacer means.
Whilst the modern pneumatic tyre performs adequately when used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations for fitting and use, the tyre gives rise to problems when used at under inflated pressures and the tyre breaks up very quickly when used at zero pressure. A number of attempts have been made to improve the stability of modern pneumatic tyres when they run at under inflated pressures, and also to give the modern pneumatic tyres an element of safety and convenience by enabling them to be used for relatively short periods of time at under inflated or zero pressure.The known systems are such that they try to improve the characteristics of the modern single-piece drop-centre wheel rim, or they try to block punctures of the tyre tread area in the hope of preventing deflation, or they increase the side wall thickness of the tyre size to improve its run-flat performance, or they attempt to replenish air in a tyre suffering air loss by mounting a compressor in the engine compartment of the vehicle and ducting air through pipes to each of the wheel hubs of the vehicle.
It is an aim of the present invention to provide an alternative arrangement.
Accordingly, this invention provides a wheel having a rim and tyre spacer means, the tyre spacer means being formed of a flexible material that is provided with one or more apertures, the spacer means then being such that it is able to create an air seal and also absorb shock.
The flexible material may be an elastomer.
Other flexible materials may be used.
By providing a flexible material that has a hollow construction, a relatively lightweight spacer means may be provided that still retains desired elasticity.
The wheel rim may be a two-piece demountable flange rim, or a two-piece bolt together rim, or a three-piece demountable flange rim.
The spacer means may enable standard commercial twoor three-piece rims to be converted into safety or security rims which can be used with tubeless tyres.
The invention may enable the improvement of safety levels achieved with standard production tyres and may enable them to be used as run flat tyres. The invention may enable substantially all the benefits of the modern pneumatic tyre to be retained whilst at the same time giving sufficient durability to the sidewalls of the tyre such that the tyre can run flat for an appreciable distance without breaking up. Preferably, the tyre spacer means is such that a wheel assembly can be used with standard tyres as well as with specially constructed tyres.
The invention may include means for advising a vehicle driver that there has been predetermined loss of air from a tyre.
The invention may also include means for replenishing air loss through migration or punctures of the tyre tread area.
The invention may also provide a means for permitting a vehicle to continue for up to 50 miles when the damage to the tyre is so severe that the loss of air cannot be compensated for by a wheel mounted compressor or similar device.
The tyre spacer means may be effective to retain the beads of the tyre on the shoulders of the wheel rim in the event of a partial or total loss of air and, at the same time, provide a platform against which a totally deflated tyre can run. The tyre spacer means is preferably of such a height that the side walls of the tyre do not create friction in the run flat mode.
The wheel rim will normally be a multi-piece wheel rim which is made of metal or another appropriate material and which can be bolted together or otherwise assembled in an appropriate manner.
The wheel rim may include a tyre pressure warning device that continually monitors the pressure within the tyre and passes the information to the vehicle driver and/or a recording system on or off the vehicle.
The wheel may also include a wheel balance monitoring system that continually monitors the dynamic balance of the wheel assembly and moves weights on the wheel assembly to compensate for detected states of imbalance.
The wheel may include a means of generating air that is used to replace air lost from the tyre through migration or punctures of the tyre, or from cooling the wheel or any other component on the vehicle.
The wheel may also include cooling means for cooling the interior of the tyre at underinflated or zero pressures by means of a liquid or aqueous fluid that is released from containers within the spacer on partial or total deflation of the tyre to seal small punctures of the tyre tread area or other parts of the tyre.
The above mentioned various means may be provided on other parts of the vehicle in addition to the wheel if desired.
The tyre spacer means may be such that hollow spheres of metal or other material may be incorporated, or other hollow shapes made up in metal or other materials. The apertures should be so shaped and so positioned within the spacer means as to permit sufficient deformation of the spacer means, or its component parts, to instal the whole or the parts, within the tyre before the assembly is mounted on the wheel rim. Thus the weight of the spacer means is kept to a minimum, whilst it retains sufficient elasticity to perform the function of an air seal and to support the tyre under run flat conditions.
The spacer means can be made up as a single entity, or it can be made up in parts that are assembled within the tyre case. The spacer means may be made in rubber or plastics materials in order to create an air seal between the tyre beads and the spacer means and the beads and the base of the rim.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a cross section through a wheel in accordance with the invention; and
Figures 2,3 and 4 show three types of wheel rim that may be used in the present invention.
Referring now to Figure 1, there is shown a wheel 2 having a wheel rim 4. The wheel 2 has a standard tyre 6 having tyre beads 8,10.
Positioned in the tyre 6 is a tyre spacer means 12 that is effective to space the beads 8,10 apart as shown. The tyre spacer means
12 is effective to convert tubed to cooler running tubeless tyres and it provides a run flat capability for the tyre 6. As shown, the tyre spacer means 12 comprises a plurality of apertures 14 which are effective to lighten the weight of the tyre spacer means 12 and which also enable the tyre spacer means 12 to be manufactured from a variety of materials and yet still retain the required elasticity for enabling it to effect a seal as may be necessary.
Inside the tyre 6 there may be provided a tyre pressure monitoring system 16 for monitoring the pressure of the tyre. The tyre pressuring monitoring system may have read out means (not shown) for enabling a driver of a vehicle to see from within the vehicle that the tyre 6 has lost pressure.
Also provided within the tyre 6 are pots 18 of sealant and/or lubricant. Where a sealant is employed, then the sealant is obviously of use when punctures occur. Lubricants may be used to help to avoid unecessary tyre wear.
The wheel 2 shown in Figure 1 may also include air generating means for generating air for the inside of the tyre 6 in the event of a loss of pressure from within the tyre 6. The air generating means may be incorporated in the tyre spacer means 12.
The wheel 2 may also be provided with balancing means (not shown) for balancing the wheel 2. The balancing means may be provided in the tyre spacer means 12 if desired.
The tyre spacer means 12 may have a cross sectional shape as shown in Figure 1.
Other cross sectional shapes may be employed.
The tyre spacer means 12 may include a reinforcing strap 20 as shown. More than one reinforcing strap 20 may be employed if desired.
Referring now to Figure 2, there is shown a divided (bolt together)two-piece wheel rim 22.
The wheel rim 22 has a flange part 24 having bolts 26. The bolts 26 pass through apertures 28 in the other part 30 of the wheel rim 22.
Figure 3 shows a divided (bolt on flange) two-piece wheel rim 32. The wheel rim 32 has a flange part 34 which is provided with apertures 36. The apertures 36 receive bolts 38 on the other part 40 of the wheel rim 32.
Figure 4 shows a detachable flange threepiece wheel rim 42. The wheel rim 42 comprises a split ring 44, a continuous ring 46 and a main wheel part 48.
Generally, split rim types of wheel are made in two or three parts and the principle of a split rim type of wheel is that one bead retaining ring or lip of the wheel is detachable from a main part of the wheel rim, and this enables a tyre to be slid on to the main part of the wheel rim. A bead retaining ring may be cut as shown by the split ring 44 in Figure 4 such that the split ring can be eased open sufficiently to allow the ring to slip on to the main part of the wheel and locate in a groove provided on the edge of the main part of the wheel. In some instances, a spring retaining ring may be provided, making the complete wheel a three part assembly. In this case, the bead retaining ring retains its integrity and is not cut. The uncut bead retaining ring merely slips on to the main part of the wheel, and is followed by the retaining ring which is sprung and split.The retaining ring fits into a groove provided on the main part of the wheel. In both cases, it is the outward air pressure in the tyre when inflated which finally locks the ring into place and holds it there until there is a loss of air pressure.
Hitherto, with a split ring type of wheel, a tube was normally required to be fitted within the tyre to contain the air. A gate or fiap was also required to prevent any chaffing between the tube and the wheel assembly. The spacer means 12 may avoid the need for the tube and the gaiter or flap.
It is to be appreciated that the embodiments of the invention described above have been given by way of example only and that modifications may be effected. Thus, for example the shape of the tyre spacer means 12 may be varied, as may the shape and the number of the apertures 14. The invention may be used for run flat security applications or for general safety applications such as required by private vehicles.
