Wheel

摘要

A wheel suitable for use on sandy surface that includes an inner rigid support and an outer resilient, airless, tire. The tire has two series of flexible spokes that move when the tire is in use under a load to form a ground engaged section of the tire to assume a substantially flat track portion. The flexible spokes revert to their normal configuration when rotated out of the ground engaged section. Each of the two series of spokes have an arc shape, with the two series of spokes leaning in opposite directions.

1. A wheel having an inner support and an outer tire, the tire having two series of flexible spokes which are able to move when the tire is in use to cause a ground engaged section of the tire to assume a substantially flat track portion when under load, and to revert to a normal circular tending configuration when turned away from a ground engaging position, wherein the spokes are laid over so that the first series of spokes tend clockwise and the second series of spokes tend counter-clockwise.
