<p>A tire having an annular body (16) of resilient elastomeric material with an outer cylindrical member (18) at the outer periphery thereof which may carry a tread and a coaxial, coextensive inner cylindrical member (22) at the inner periphery thereof for mounting on a wheel rim. The outer cylindrical member is supported and cushioned by a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart rib members (26) and one or more web members (32). The rib members extend generally axially along the inner and outer cylindrical members and are inclined at an angle of 15 DEG to 75 DEG to radial planes which intersect them at their radially inner ends, and each web member preferably lies in a plane that is perpendicular to the rotational axis of the tire or, alternatively, may either take the form of a frustrum of a right circular cone having as its principal axis the rotational axis of the tire or may form a partial helix about the rotational axis of the tire. The inner and outer cylindrical members, rib members and web member(s) are integral with or otherwise fastened to one another. One half of the axial length of the rib members may be inclined to one of the intersecting radial planes and the other half of the axial length of the rib members may be inclined to the opposite side of the intersecting planes. Methods for making the tire and fastening it to the wheel rim are also disclosed.</p> |
