ELASTISCHER RAD-REIFEN.

摘要

A deformable nonpneumatic tire includes a radially inner, substantially annular, base which may be connected to a rigid element such as a wheel, a radially outer, substantially annular, cap to which a tread having a pattern may be mounted, and a substantially annular deformable structure connected between the base and the cap. The deformable structure includes a plurality of intrinsically dissymmetrical patterns formed by elongate slender elements of an elastically deformable material when seen in section perpendicular to the axial direction of the tire. The slender elements are arranged to define recesses extending crosswise over the entire axial width of the tire. The slender elements are inclined with respect to the radial direction of the tire and form zig-zags at two angles of opposite signs with respect to the radial direction of the tire, such that the orientation of the slender elements changes from one to the other of the angles at least one time between the radially inner and outer ends of the deformable structure.
