Abstract
A multiple chamber pneumatic tire having an upper section and a lower section. A diaphragm separates the upper section from the lower section. The lower section has at least two chambers. The chambers each have a chamber valve, a nail guard layer, a plurality of fibers having an end connected to an inner wall surface of a chamber, and an interconnected barrier connected to at least two portions of a chamber wall surface. The upper section of the tire has at least one linkage located within at least one tube with a primary end connected to a chamber valve of a chamber and a secondary end connected to a tire rim or to a main valve. A tire pressure monitoring system can be in communication with a chamber valve. The tire can have a ring with at least one retractable stud.
Claims20
A pneumatic tire having a gas receiving fitting configured to receive a supply of pressurized gas, comprising:
- said receiving fitting in pneumatic communication with a plurality of chambers;
- a plurality of valves, whereby, said plurality of chambers each having at least one valve;
- said receiving fitting having a rod, said rod is in communication with at least one biasing mechanism, said rod is connected to a plurality of linkages, said plurality of linkages is connected to said plurality of valves, said at least one biasing mechanism positioning at least one linkage so that said at least one valve of said plurality of valves is biased in a closed orientation;
- and,
- said rod is configured to open said at least one valve of said plurality of valves when said rod is depressed causing said at least one biasing mechanism to compress.
A gas receiving fitting for inflation of a pneumatic tire, comprising:
- said receiving fitting is configured to receive a supply of pressurized gas, said receiving fitting is configured to be in pneumatic communication with said tire, whereby, said tire having a plurality of chambers, whereby, said plurality of chambers each having at least one valve;
- said receiving fitting having a rod, said rod is in communication with at least one biasing mechanism, said rod is connected to a plurality of linkages, said plurality of linkages is connected to a plurality of valves of said plurality of chambers, said at least one biasing mechanism positioning at least one linkage so that said at least one valve of said plurality of valves is biased in a closed orientation;
- and,
- said rod is configured to open a first valve of said plurality of valves when said rod is depressed to a first predetermined position of said receiving fitting.
A tire, comprising:
- a ridge formed on an inner wall of said tire, said ridge is configured to interlock with a corresponding ridge of an inner tube.
A tire having at least one retractable stud, comprising:
- a ring, said ring having at least one recess, said recess is configured to house said at least one retractable stud in a retracted orientation when said ring is oriented in a first position;
- and,
- said at least one recess having a ramp, said ramp is configured to guide an end of at least one retractable stud into a detent when said ring is oriented in a second position, whereby, said detent supports said at least one retractable stud.
