Abstract
An enhanced static runflat system is disclosed. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, at least one predefined structural stopper provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical section of the wheel rim, whereby at least one predefined structural stopper secures, an inner circumference of the annular static runflat to an outer circumference of the wheel for arresting a movement of the static runflat over the wheel rim.
Claims7
An enhanced static runflat system, comprising:
- a wheel, rim comprising a cylindrical section intermittent and a rim base comprising a flange extending radially outwards from two axial ends, whereby a plurality of circular heads of a tire securely mounted on the wheel rim;
- an annular static runflat removably directly secured to an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical section of the drop center wheel rim, such that the annular static runflat further spaced from the properly inflated tire and is configured to be engaged to an inner peripheral surface of the tire when the tire is deflated;
- and
- at least one predefined structural stopper provided on a portion of the circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical section of the drop center wheel rim, and configured to engage a corresponding female provision defined on a portion of an inner circumference of the annular static runflat, such that the at least one predefined structural stopper secures the inner circumference of the annular static runflat to an outer circumference of the wheel for arresting rotation and movement of the static runflat over the outer peripheral surface of the drop center wheel rim.

An enhanced static runflat system assembly, comprising:
- an annular static runflat comprising at least one structural provision along an inner peripheral surface, such that the annular static runflat device is removably directly secured to an outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical section of a drop center wheel rim;
- and
- at least one predefined structural stopper provided on a portion of the circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical section of the drop center wheel rim, and configured to engage a corresponding female provision defined on a portion of an inner circumference of the annular static runflat, such that the at least one static runflat is removably secured to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical section of the drop center wheel rim precluding thereby rotation and movement of the static runflat over the outer peripheral surface of the drop center wheel rim.
