Wheel with pneumatic tire vulcanized onto rim, dispensing with time-consuming stages previously considered essential

摘要

Dedicated areas of the rim (10) include a bonding metal. Edges (20) of the tire (200) are vulcanized onto these areas around the collar of the rim, forming a material bond. Dedicated areas of the rim (10) include a bonding metal. Edges (20) of the tire (200) are vulcanized onto these areas around the collar of the rim, forming a material bond. The bonding areas are plated on as rings (30) near the axial outer edges. Rings onto which the tire is vulcanized may be detachable from the rim and a clamping device may supplement attachment to the rim. Rubber mixture is applied to outer edges of the tire, on the reinforcing inlay or rubberization over it. This mixture ranges in composition, containing 0.5-15 wt.% sulfur or sulfur-donor compound. Alternatively the side strips themselves comprise such a rubber mixture. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding method of making the wheel.
