A chamber is provided that works as a peristaltic pump for the pressure correction in the tire, which is a part of the tire or of an ancillary structure placed between the rim and the tire bead and is connected with the tire internal space at one end and with the external environment at the other end. The chamber is in the shape of a curved hollow channel, where at least one enclosing wall is at least partially formed by at least a pair of surfaces coplanar with the longitudinal direction of the chamber. When the tire is mounted on the rim, the pair of surfaces are pressed together thus hermetically closing the chamber. When the chamber is closed during rotation of the wheel, the surfaces can slightly slide on one another taking internal wall tensions onto themselves thus decreasing the possibility of wall damage through ripping.
An arrangement for a tire, the arrangement comprising the tire and having an interior wall defining a reservoir, comprising:
A wheel arrangement for a tire, the wheel arrangement comprising the tire and having an interior wall defining a reservoir, comprising:
A process for providing a chamber for pressure correction in a wheel arrangement comprising a tire and an interior surface defining a reservoir, a chamber being at least partially defined by a structure having shape memory, the structure being a part of the tire or an ancillary structure and adjacent to a tire wall, and the chamber being connected with the reservoir at a first end of the chamber and with a fluid source at a second end of the chamber, wherein the chamber is curved over at least part of a length thereof, comprising
