20130174954 | RUN-FLAT SUPPORT ASSEMBLY FOR A PNEUMATIC TIRED WHEEL AND METHOD FOR USE OF SAME - A run-flat support assembly for a wheel rim of a pneumatic tired wheel and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a tubular support structure is positioned in a tire cavity of the pneumatic tired wheel and coupled to the wheel rim to turn concurrently with an axis of rotation of the wheel rim. A skeletal structure is disposed within the tubular support structure. Circumferentially spaced linkages are displaceably secured to respective mounting races of a body of the skeletal structure. Each of the circumferentially spaced linkages is adapted to plastically fail at a pre-determined moment load in a run-flat condition, thereby pivoting relative to the respective mounting race. | 07-11-2013 |
20120217790 | RUN-FLAT SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR A PNEUMATIC TIRED WHEEL AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING SAME - A run-flat support system and method for installing the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the run-flat support system includes a torque assembly removably coupled to a split wheel rim of a pneumatic tired wheel. Support segments are adapted for attachment to the torque assembly in order to support the pneumatic tired wheel in a flat condition such as an under-inflated condition or deflated condition. Lateral support structures, which may include the form of a wedge, are secured to the support segments to provide a bead lock between beads of the interior side walls of the pneumatic tired wheel and the split wheel rim. | 08-30-2012 |
20120145300 | RUN-FLAT SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR A PNEUMATIC TIRED WHEEL AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING SAME - A run-flat support system and method for installing the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the run-flat support system includes a torque assembly removably coupled to a split wheel rim of a pneumatic tired wheel. A plurality of support segments are adapted for attachment to the torque assembly in order to support the pneumatic tired wheel in a flat condition such as an under-inflated condition or deflated condition. | 06-14-2012 |
20110315287 | Multi-Piece Run-Flat Insert - The present application relates generally to a tire support system including a plurality of support sectors. The plurality of support sectors when connected forms an annular support ring. | 12-29-2011 |
