Tire having a plurality of independent removable and reinforced sectors

An assembly formed of a tire with a plurality of inflatable and removable pneumatic sectors (S) which are circumferentially adjacent to each other mounted on an appropriate rim (J) with circularly continuous base, characterized by the fact that

• a) each sector (S) comprises a tread (2) connected to four sidewalls (40, 50), two of these sidewalls (50) being circumferentially adjacent to the sidewalls (50) of the adjacent sectors (S) and the other two (40) forming the sidewalls of the tire, these sidewalls (40, 50) terminating in meridian beads not in contact with the mounting rim (J) and reinforced by meridian bead wires (11) and in circumferential beads assuring the mounting of the sectors (S) on the rim (J) and reinforced by circumferential bead wires (10) connected to the meridian bead wires (11) and to which at least one reinforcing armoring (4) of non-stretchable cords or cables is anchored, said reinforcing armoring (4) being radially adjacent to at least one tread (2) reinforcement armoring (8);
• and
• b) the rim (J) is provided with a rim bottom (30), seats (31), and flanges (32) turned radially towards the inside and made circumferentially discontinuous by recesses (33), the circumferential beads of each sector (S) resting on the seats (31) of the rim (J) radially on the inside for reversed hooking.

• b) the rim (J) is provided with a rim bottom (30), seats (31), and flanges (32) turned radially towards the outside with tips (320) axially towards the inside, forming with the seats (31) grooves (R) called embedment grooves, the circumferential beads of each sector (S) fitting in the embedment grooves (R).
