Mutually Free Walls Patents (Class 152/334.1)
  • Patent number: 7316252
    Abstract: A device for serving as a wheel for motor vehicles, where the wheel has its tire tread replaceable when it is worn out via unique rims and molded tire features. An alternate internal structure prevents the tire from “going flat” or “blowing out” when it is punctured or cut. In one variation the tire can be used with existing rims and can be retro-fitted into existing tire by mating the tires with this invention's “Non-Flat Tire” internal element and special rim. A variation of the “Non-Flat Tire” system uses spring-like materials for its tire core that is shaped similar to a tire's inner tube, and functions like an “air-filled” tire, but the absence of the use of air in this unique configuration gives it the “Flat Tire Prevention” effect.

  • Patent number: 6725895
    Abstract: A wheel has a rigid rim, a soft tire arranged on the rigid rim, and a unit for generating different pressures from inside in the soft tire in contact zone of tire with road surface, at opposite sides of a vertical transverse plane of symmetry of the rim so as to cause pushing of the tire with rim of wheel along a roadway, the tire being subdivided in a plurality of separate chambers spaced from one another in a circumferential direction, the unit for generating different pressures being operative for generating different pressures in a computerized way in any chamber of the tire at any time.
