Abstract
The wheel includes a tire, a rim, two groups of supporting members. The tire is coupled to the rim. The groups of supporting members are oppositely positioned and received in the tire. Each group of supporting members are separately positioned from each other. The supporting members of each group are coupled to an inner surface of the tire by injection method. Central axes of the supporting members of each group are coincident or parallel. A central axis of each supporting member is coincident with or parallel to a central axis of a central axis of the tire.
Claims20
A wheel comprising:
- a rim;
- a tire mounted on the rim, having a tread and two sidewalls, and defining an internal chamber;
- two groups of supporting members mounted within the internal chamber on the two sidewalls, respectively;
- wherein when the tire is inflated the support members of each of the two groups are spaced apart;
- and
- wherein when the tire is deflated, the bottom of the tire collapses such that the support members of each of the two group at the bottom of the tire abut each other to create a collective vertical support for the tire.
A wheel comprising:
- a tire;
- and
- two groups of supporting members;
- wherein the supporting members of each group are concentrically and separately coupled to the tire;
- wherein when the tire is deflated, the tire is deformed and each group of supporting members abut each other to provide a supporting force.
A wheel comprising:
- a tire;
- a rim coupled to the tire;
- and
- two groups of supporting members oppositely positioned and received in the tire;
- wherein the supporting members of each group are separately coupled to the tire, each supporting member is substantially annular, and central axes of the supporting members of each group are coincident or parallel.
