1517877 Well filler for vehicle wheel rims GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER CO 27 May 1976 [18 June 1975] 22042/76 Heading B7C An inflatable well filler 13, which in use, prevents tyre beads being displaced into the well when the tyre deflates, comprises an annular cord-reinforced tube. As illustrated the tube is formed from two rubberized parallel cord plies 40, 42, the cords of one ply crossing those of the other and each cord making an angle of between 35 and 45 degrees with the midcircumferential plane of the tube when the latter is deflated. Valve 30 attached to the tube enables separate inflation of the tyre cavity 22 and the tube with the latter being inflated to between 2 and 10 lbs./sq. inch higher than the pressure in cavity 22. Alternatively to valve 30, separate inflating valves for the cavity and the tube may be provided The cords are preferably nylon or polyester. |
