SOLID WORK MACHINE TIRE WITH RESILIENT BODY

摘要

A work machine tire (10) includes an annular body (11) of elastomeric material that includes a middle radial region (12). A plurality of unpressurized cavities are defined by the middle radial region and are distributed in a pattern that includes a first radial band of cavities (16) and a second radial band of cavities (17). Each cavity of the first radial band of cavities (16) is oriented at a positive angle with respect to a radius therethrough, and each cavity of the second radial band of cavities (17) is oriented at a negative angle with respect to a radius therethrough. A material volume of the middle radial region (12) is more than one and a half times greater than the combined void volume of the plurality of cavities (15).
