Description

SOLID TYRE AND SPLIT WHEEL RIM USED THEREWITH The invention relates generally to a solid tyre and a split wheel rim for mounting the solid tyre, and relates more especially to a solid tyre mounted to a split wheel rim in a manner to prevent the solid tyre from slipping within the split wheel rim.
Typically, solid tyres formed by foam urethane rubber are used in children's tricycles and push carts that transport cargo as well as comparatively slow vehicles such as forklifts. Recently, solid tyres used for comparatively fast wheels such as automobile and motorcycle wheels have also been developed. Unfortunately, solid tyres used in high-speed wheel applications stretch, due to the centrifugal forces generated during high-speed rotation, with the inner diameter of the tyre growing larger.
Consequently, there is a chance the solid tyre might slip within the rim or in some instances may slip off the rim entirely.
If the outside diameter of the rim is the same size as the inside diameter of the solid tyre, mounting the solid tyre to the rim is an easy process. However, centrifugal force during high-speed rotation causes the solid tyre to stretch increasing its inside diameter. Consequently, there is a chance the solid tyre will fall off the rim. In order to prevent this from happening, in a conventional tyre, the inside diameter of the solid tyre is made smaller than the outside diameter of the rim. Further, a plurality of annular beads are attached that restrict outward stretching due to centrifugal force inside the solid tyre. Moreover, while attaching the beads, the inside diameter of the solid tyre is increased by appropriate means by applying tension that resists the centrifugal force on the solid tyre after which the beads are attached to the rim.
In the configuration of a conventional tyre, beads are arranged to restrict expansion and contraction.
Consequently, an appropriate force is required to increase the inside diameter of the solid tyre which makes it difficult to mount the solid tyre to a conventional wheel rim. Compared to a hollow tyre, the difficulty experienced during this type of mounting procedure is one reason solid tyres are not more widely used even though they have superior resistance to damage and banking.
In a conventional tyre configuration, in order to arrange the beads inside the solid tyre, the beads must be embedded inside the solid tyre at optimum individual locations during the vulcanization process of the urethane rubber and then the vulcanization process must be carried out. The process to embed the beads at optimum individual locations inside the tyre is a complicated but necessary one and makes the manufacturing of solid tyres troublesome.
The purpose of the present invention is still to prevent solid tyres slipping off wheel rims, yet allow the solid tyres to be easily mounted to the wheel rims and allow their manufacture to be simplified.
According to the present invention, an assembly of a solid tyre and a split wheel rim used therewith comprises a hub, a disk portion attached to said hub and two rim portions coupled to said disk portion, each of said rim portions having a sidewall portion extending generally radially outwardly, with said sidewall portions axially confining said solid tyre, and said solid tyre including means for restraining displacement of said solid tyre with respect to said rim portions.
Said means for restraining displacement of said solid tyre with respect to said rim portions can take several forms.
In a first embodiment, the solid tyre includes a solid main tyre body of a generally solid vulcanized elastic material, and further includes a vulcanized band-shaped body having an expansion/contraction rate lower than the main tyre body mounted to a portion of the main tyre body, for instance a radially inner surface of the main tyre body, a radially extending side surface of the main tyre body or both surfaces. The band-shaped body may be vulcanized, the main tyre body may be vulcanized or both may be vulcanized. Because the band-shaped body has an expansion/contraction rate lower than the main tyre body, it restricts stretching of the main tyre body typically caused by centrifugal force. Consequently, it is difficult for the solid tyre to slip off the rim even during high-speed rotation. This type of solid tyre may be easily manufactured.
In another embodiment, the sidewall portions of the rim portions are formed with one or more protrusions and the solid tyre is formed with one or more grooves corresponding to the protrusions. The interaction of the protrusions and the grooves restricts movement of the solid tyre with respect to the rim.
In a further embodiment, each of the sidewall portions of the rim portions is formed with a plurality of circumferentially spaced holes, the solid tyre is formed with a plurality of corresponding circumferentially spaced holes and a plurality of bolts extend though the holes to secure the solid tyre to the rim portions.
In yet another embodiment, the disk portion comprises two disk members, and each one of the rim portions is integrally formed with a corresponding one of the disk members.
Several embodiments, of the present invention, will now be described in greater detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is a side view of one embodiment of a split wheel rim and solid tyre of the present invention; Fig. 2 is a fragmentary cross-section of a portion of Fig. 1 on a slightly enlarged scale; Fig. 3 is an exploded cross-section of the wheel rim and solid tyre depicted in Fig. 2, showing the individual parts that make up the wheel rim and solid tyre; Fig. 4 is a cross-section showing an alternative embodiment of a solid tyre mountable to the wheel rim depicted in Figs. 1-3; Fig. 5 is a cross-section of another alternative embodiment of a solid tyre mountable to the wheel rim depicted in Figs. 1-3; Fig. 6 is a side view similar to Fig. 1, showing another embodiment of a split wheel rim on which a solid tyre is mounted; Fig. 7 is a fragmentary cross-section of a portion of Fig. 6 on a slightly enlarged scale; Fig. 8 is an exploded cross-section of the wheel rim and solid tyre depicted in Fig. 7, showing the individual parts that make up the wheel rim and solid tyre; Fig. 9 is a fragmentary cross-section similar to Fig.

In the accompanying drawings, like reference numerals denote corresponding parts throughout the various embodiments.
Figs. 1 and 2 show a bicycle wheel 1 that includes a solid tyre 2 and a rim 3. The rim 3 includes a pair of split rims 3a, 3b. Disks 4 are firmly held together at an outside peripheral portion thereof by the pair of split rims 3a, 3b. The wheel 1 further includes a hub 5 secured to the centre of the disks 4.
The solid tyre 2 is disposed between the two rims 3a and 3b. The tyre 2 is formed with tread rubber having impact resistance and wear resistance characteristics on the side that makes contact with the ground. The tyre has a main tyre body 2a with a ring construction that is filled with foam urethane rubber that has excellent cushion characteristics on the inside of the tyre. This makes the tyre elastic and allows it to change shape. Further, the entire main tyre body 2a may be formed by foam urethane rubber.
An inner peripheral axially extending sidewall of the main tyre body 2a is provided with a spread out ply 7 with an expansion and contraction rate that is lower than the main tyre body 2a. The ply 7 is vulcanized. For the fibre used in the spread out ply 7, a chemical fibre is plain weaved and arranged in a bias fashion along with a chemical fibre which has optimum expansion/contraction characteristics such as a ribbed tricot. Moreover, the expansion/contraction characteristics of this fiber are lower than the expansion/contraction characteristics of the main tyre body 2a Referring now to Fig. 3, each of the pair of split rims 3a, 3b which constitute the rim 3 includes a flat portion, for instance the rim 3a has a flat portion lOa, and the rim 3b has a flat portion lob. As is shown in Fig.
2, the flat portions lOa and lob contact and support the spread out ply 7 arranged on the inner peripheral sidewall of the main tyre body 2a. The rims 3a and 3b are also formed, respectively, with sidewalls 12a and 12b that extend radially outwardly. The sidewalls 12a and 12b support inner peripheral radially extending sidewalls of the main tyre body 2a.
The rims 3a and 3b are also provided with mounting portions lia and lib that extend radially inwardly, away from the flat portions 10a and lOb. In the mounting portions lla, lib, mounting holes 16a, 16b are formed circumferentially at intervals for the purpose of attaching the split rims 3a, 3b to the disks 4.
As shown in Fig. 3, a mounting hole 17 is formed in each of the disks 4 at a position corresponding to the mounting holes 16a and 16b . A mounting bolt 14, shown in Fig. 2, extends through the mounting holes 16a , 16b and 17. A mounting nut 15 is screwed on at the end of the mounting bolt 14. The mounting bolt 14 and nut 15 fasten the split rims 3a, 3b to the disks 4. The hub 5 is fixed to the centre of the disks and a hub shaft 20 is arranged to rotate freely in the centre.
Next, the manufacturing method of the solid tyre 2 will be explained. When the solid tyre 2 is manufactured, the main tyre body 2a is formed and equipped with tread rubber that has excellent impact resistance and wear resistance characteristics on the side that makes contact with the ground. The tyre material is filled with foam urethane rubber that has excellent cushion characteristics on the inside of the tyre.
On the inner peripheral axially extending sidewall of this tyre material, the spread out ply 7 is disposed and the solid tyre 2 is manufactured by vulcanization with a vulcanization press. When the spread out ply 7 is arranged on said inner peripheral sidewall of the solid tyre 2 during the vulcanization, the spread out ply 7 is vulcanized and mounted to the inner peripheral sidewall of the solid tyre 2. The spread out ply 7 restricts stretching of the obtained solid tyre 2 mounted to the spread out ply 7 due to centrifugal force of the inner peripheral portion.
The solid tyre 2 can resist stretching and is obtained by vulcanizing the spread out ply to the inner peripheral sidewall during the vulcanization. The solid tyre 2 is generally easy to manufacture. The characteristics of the solid tyre 2 are such that it resists slipping off due to centrifugal force.
In an alternative embodiment, shown in Fig. 4, two spread out ply 7a and 7b can be vulcanized and mounted to the respective inner peripheral radially extending sidewalls of the main tyre body 2a. Further, as shown in Fig. 5, a spread out ply 7c can be vulcanized and mounted to both of the inner peripheral radially extending sidewalls and the inner peripheral axially extending sidewall of the main tyre body 2a. In other arrangements, not illustrated, the embodiment of Fig. 4 omits either the spread out ply 7a or the spread out ply 7b, and the embodiment of Fig. 5 omits either the left hand end or the right hand end of the spread out ply 7c.
The above-noted inner peripheral axially extending sidewall of the main tyre body 2a is a radially inner surface.
Because each of the solid tyres 2 has a vulcanized band-shaped body mounted to said radially inner surface, or to at least a portion of a radially extending surface, or to said radially inner surface to extend to at least a portion of a radially extending surface, stretching caused by centrifugal force is resisted thereby allowing solid tyres that resist slipping off the rims due to centrifugal force to be easily manufactured.
In another embodiment of the present invention, a bicycle wheel 1, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7, includes a solid tyre 2 , a rim 3 having a pair of split rims 3a, 3b for mounting the solid tyre 2, a pair of disks 4 supported by the rim 3, and a hub 5 mounted to the centre of the disks 4.
Further, as shown in Fig. 7, the solid tyre 2 has tread rubber with excellent shock and wear resistance characteristics on the side that makes contact with the ground. It is filled with foam urethane rubber that has excellent cushion characteristics on the inside of the tyre. This makes the tyre elastic and allows it to change shape. As shown in Fig. 8, the solid tyre has a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart slipping prevention holes 6 that pass through the sidewall of the inner peripheral side of the tyre 2. Further, the entire body of the solid tyre 2 can be formed with foam urethane rubber.
As in the earlier embodiment, the rim 3 is formed by the left and right split rims 3a, 3b. The split rims 3a, 3b are formed with flat portions loa, lOb, mounting portions Ila, llb, mounting holes 16a, 16b and sidewalls 12a, 12b.
As shown in Fig. 8, through holes 13a and 13b are formed in the sidewalls 12a and 12b at positions corresponding to the slipping prevention holes 6 which are formed in the solid tyre 2. A bolt 27 to prevent the tyre from slipping off passes through the through holes 13a and 13b and the slipping prevention hole 6. A slipping prevention nut 28 is tightened on the tip of the bolt 27 which makes it difficult for the solid tyre 2 to slip off from the split rims 3a and 3b.
Next, the assembly procedure for the wheel 1 will be explained. First, the disks 4 are attached to the hub 5 and the split rims 3a and 3b placed about the solid tyre 2.
During the assembly, the disks 4 are arranged at the inner peripheral sidewall of the solid tyre 2. Then, the split rims 3a, 3b are arranged on each side of the tyre. Next, the split rims 3a, 3b are fastened to the disks 4 with the mounting bolts 14 and nuts 15. Continuing, a through hole 13a is positioned opposite a slipping prevention hole 6 and a slipping prevention bolt 27 is then inserted. Finally, the slipping prevention nuts 28 are fastened to the bolts 27 to complete the assembly.
By completing the above, slipping of the solid tyre 2 from the split rims 3a, 3b can be easily prevented by the slipping prevention bolts 27 and the nuts 28 without applying any tension to the solid tyre 2. Consequently, this makes mounting to the rim 3 of the solid tyre 2 simple and reliable.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10, annular joining protrusions 18a and 18b are formed on the rims 3a and 3b respectively and are provided to prevent slipping on the inner wall of the sidewall of the split rims 3a and 3b of the tyre 2. The solid tyre 2 is formed with annular concave gutters l9a and 19b which receive the joining protrusions 18a and 18b. The interaction of protrusions 18a and 18b, and concave gutters 19a and l9b, also restricts possible circumferential movement of the solid tyre due to centrifugal force stretching of the solid tyre.
As shown in Fig. 10, a wheel configured in this way is assembled by arranging the solid tyre 2 and disks 4 between the split rims 3a and 3b. The split rims 3a and 3b are attached to the disks 4 using the mounting bolts 14 and nuts 15 so the rims are opposite joining protrusions 18a, 18b and concave gutters 19a, l9b. This will mount the solid tyre 2 to the split rims 3a, 3b. Because the joining protrusions 18a, 18b and concave gutters 19a, 19b are joined at this point, slipping due to centrifugal force of the solid tyre 2 can be prevented.
In yet another embodiment, as shown in Fig. 11, the embodiment described above with respect to Fig. 7 can alternatively be provided with split rims 3a, 3b and disks 4a, 4b which are formed integrally. For instance, the rim 3a and the disk 4a are formed integrally and the rim 3b and the disk 4b are formed integrally. For this case, the hub 5 may also be formed from split hubs 5a and 5b.
In yet another embodiment, as is shown in Fig. 12, the embodiment shown in Fig. 10 may be modified to include split rims 3a and 3b and split disks 4a and 4b which are formed integrally. For instance, the rim 3a and the disk 4a are formed integrally and the rim 3b and the disk 4b are formed integrally.
Further, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 10, the joining protrusions 18a, 18b do not need to be formed annularly extending over the entire periphery of the sidewalls 12a, 12b. For instance, the joining protrusions 18a, 18b can be shaft-like and protrude from the inner walls of the sidewalls 12a, 12b, and round holes can be formed in place of the concave gutters 19a, 19b in the solid tyre 2.
Because of the construction of the present invention, it is not necessary to apply the force associated with mounting a solid tyre to a conventional one piece rim.
