A urethane wheel including a hard urethane hub formed with a rim facing radially outward, and including stand-off ribs spaced equidistant thereabout. The stand-off ribs having centering notches opening radially outward. A thin wall polyurethane annular bladder with an interior annular stand-off skirt facing radially inward, contacting the centering notches of the stand-off ribs, and cooperating to position the bladder both radially and axially about the rim. The tire body is formed of soft polyurethane which surrounds the rim, encapsulates the bladder creating and integral cavity, and forms a contoured surface. A method of manufacturing the wheel which includes selecting a pressurized annular bladder, locating the bladder both axially and radially about the rim, forming a concentric bridge space having axial communication channels between the rim and bladder, and then pouring liquid urethane in a mold to form the tire.

A system for manufacturing an elastomeric tire utilizing a separate formation of a package having a tire core shape and containing tire belts, plies and beads. The package is formed by a laying up of layers of pre-cure elastomer intradigitated with sections of porous fabric, where the fabric fibers are placed at desired crossing angles to one another, and the pre-cure elastomer layers are positioned therebetween as a sandwich, with the sandwich then cold rolled into the tire core shape. Inelastic hoop shaped beads are fitted to and encapsulated in the tire core side walls ends and, as required, an inelastic belt is fitted around the tire core tread area that is secured thereto as by cold rolling a layer of pre-cure elastomer thereover, completing the tire core package. The tire core package is fitted into a mold, preferably a spin casting mold, and is supported therein equidistant from the mold cavity walls to receive an elastomer sprayed therein as the mold is spun. During spinning, the exothermic heat of reaction of the sprayed elastomer constituents as is generated as they are mixed and sprayed into the mold, completes the cure of the pre-cure elastomer, providing a homogenous finished tire with the belts, plies and beads optimally positioned therein.

A tire including: a circular tire frame formed from a resin material; and a metal reinforcing cord member wound on an outer circumference of the tire frame, at least a portion of the metal reinforcing cord member being covered by a covering mixture including at least a thermoplastic resin and a specific elastomer selected from the group consisting of (1) to (3) below:

(1) a thermoplastic polyurethane-based elastomer;

(2) a thermoplastic polystyrene-based elastomer; and

(3) a thermoplastic olefin-based elastomer including at least one selected from the group consisting of an acid-modified thermoplastic olefin-based elastomer having an elastic modulus of less than 140 MPa and a non-acid-modified thermoplastic olefin-based elastomer having an elastic modulus of less than 140 MPa.

The present device is an integrated automotive wheel for electric vehicles which substantially reduces energy loss due to tire flex and energy loss from a conventional drive train. The wheel includes an axle, a hub, two composite sidewalls, a low pressure inner chamber with shock absorbing hub protector, and at least one outer high pressure pneumatic chamber with tread. The hub can contain an electric hub motor which rotates the wheel, propelling the vehicle. The sidewalls include at least one pressurized chamber which position the outer tread ring and enable the wheel to simulate an energy efficient high pressure pneumatic wheel, experiencing little deformation when under smooth road conditions. When road conditions are rough, the sidewalls can temporarily buckle in response to the increased road forces, simulating a low pressure conventional tire having ample space for deformation, with suspension and shock absorption capability built in. The sidewalls and outer ring chamber can be filled with high pressure closed cell foam to prevent flats.

Sufficient strength of a joint portion is secured in a tire configured by joining together plural tire structuring members formed from a thermoplastic material.

A welding thermoplastic material 43 that has been melted is extruded towards joining locations on two tire halves 17A formed from a first thermoplastic material that have been aligned so as to face each other and abut, such that the one tire half 17A and the other tire half 17A are welded together with the welding thermoplastic material 43. Degradation of the thermoplastic material forming the tire halves 17A is suppressed since the tire halves 17A are not themselves melted, and sufficient strength of the joint portion is secured.

A tire configured from joining together plural tire frame members formed from a thermoplastic material in which sufficient strength of the joint portion is secured. Two tire halves 17A formed from a first thermoplastic material are supported by a tire supporting section 40 so as to be aligned with each other and abutting, while rotating this configuration melted welding thermoplastic material 43 is extruded from a nozzle 46 towards the joining location, and the welding thermoplastic material 43 is pressed by a flattening roller 48. The one tire half 17A and the other tire half 17A are thereby welded together with the welding thermoplastic material 43. Since the tire halves 17A themselves are not melted, deterioration of the thermoplastic material forming the tire halves 17A is suppressed, and sufficient strength of the joint portion is secured.

An elastomeric tire for mounting onto a rim that is manufactured by casting or molding methods to include an exterior arch shaped cavity that is centered under and is below the tire tread to have at least one hundred forty (140) degrees and not more than one hundred seventy (170) degrees of arc from one tire rim mounting contact point, around the tire to another tire rim mounting contact point, and with the cavity arch duplicated around the tire interior. A uniform tire wall thickness is provided that is selected for a particular anticipated load as the tire will carry, with the tire side wall ends each maintained at one the rim opposing ends, supporting the load carried by the tire in compression, and with the tire, at atmospheric pressure, providing ride and wear characteristics that are comparable to a pressurized pneumatic tire carrying a like load, and which tire of the invention interior arch-shaped cavity can be pressurized to add to its inherent load supporting character to safely support even greater loads.
