Benefits of technology
The invention is a tire and / or wheel bag that can be used to enclose a tire and / or wheel for protection and easy handling. The bag is made up of a flexible bag body with an inner and outer wall, as well as a handle and a closure mechanism. The bag can be used to transport and store tires and wheels safely and easily. The technical effects of this invention include improved protection and easy handling of tires and wheels during transportation and storage.
Problems solved by technology
In addition, high performance tires and / or wheels used in various racing applications also require protection from the sun, particularly infrared and UV radiation, because they have specially formulated rubber compositions that are optimized for specific track and racing conditions, and because they deteriorate upon exposure to sunlight.
Because the tires and wheels removed after service are generally dirty and covered with contaminants due to their use, and it is undesirable to transport and store them uncovered, disposable lightweight plastic bags are frequently used for protection of both the tires and wheels, as well as human users and the storage environment.
However, disposable bags are generally not strong enough to lift the tires and / or wheels because their weight exceeds the tensile / shear strength of the bag materials, such that the bags are easily torn or damaged.
Furthermore, they are environmentally undesirable because they are disposable and contribute to waste if they are not properly recycled.
Various reusable carrying bags or cases have been proposed, but the materials used as the outer cover or shell have generally not been sufficiently strong to bear the weight of the tire and / or wheel alone without failure, such as tearing and stretching of the cover material.
While somewhat useful, existing bags and cases are generally commercially undesirable due to the cost of the materials and labor necessary to make them.

Embodiment Construction
[0029]Referring to the figures, particularly FIGS. 1-14, a tire and / or wheel bag 10 is disclosed. The tire / wheel bag 10 is advantageously configured for the storage and / or transportation of a vehicle tire 100 and / or vehicle wheel 110. The tire / wheel bag 10 is useful with vehicle tires 100 and / or vehicle wheels 110 any vehicle, including all manner of automotive vehicles (e.g. cars, and light, medium, and heavy-duty trucks), aircraft, and off-road vehicles (e.g. all-terrain vehicles, utility-terrain vehicles). The tire / wheel bag 10 is advantageously simple using less components than other tire bag designs and at the same time very durable and capable in certain embodiments of lifting tire and wheel combinations using the handle of at least 80 lbs., and in other embodiments at least 100 lbs., and in other embodiments at least 150 lbs., and in other embodiments up to 200 lbs. In one embodiment, the tire and / or wheel has a diameter (d) up to 42 inches and a width (w) up to 16 inches

A tire and / or wheel bag includes a bag body configured to enclose at least one of a vehicle tire and / or a vehicle wheel. The bag body includes a first annular wall configured to surround a first annular portion of the vehicle tire / wheel, a first sidewall attached to the first annular wall, the first annular wall and first sidewall comprising a first body portion; a second annular wall configured to surround a second annular portion of the vehicle tire / wheel; a second sidewall attached to the second annular wall, the second annular wall and second sidewall comprising a second body portion; a joint joining the first open end of the first body portion to the second open end of the second body portion; a closure configured to selectively attach and release the first and second annular sidewalls; and a handle attached to the first body portion and the second body portion.
Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of and claims priority to pending U.S. Design patent application Ser. No. 29 / 642,972 filed on Apr. 3, 2018, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to a tire and wheel bag, a method of making a tire and wheel bag, and a method of using a tire and wheel bag.BACKGROUND[0003]In many parts of the world, particularly those with climates that have significant seasonal climatic changes in temperature and / or precipitation, vehicle tires, wheels, or both are frequently changed seasonally. In these climates, users will frequently own two or more sets of tires and / or wheels and will change them seasonally to obtain more optimal seasonal vehicle performance. For example, it is common in tropical climates, humid middle latitude climates, continental climates, and cold climates to change tires and wheels to optimize ...
