  • Publication number: 20220118802
    Abstract: An agricultural tool includes a wheel body and a flexible tyre with a hollow chamber and an inner surface around this hollow chamber; a circular opening on the chamber; a pair of beads bordering this opening; and a spacer at least partially tubular with two axially opposite end faces. Over one portion corresponding to one of the beads, the inner surface extends frustoconically by widening radially outward of the flexible tyre, and one of the end faces of the spacer has an axially protruding surface. The spacer is placed across the opening of the tyre such that the protruding surface engages the inner surface in an area of the portion corresponding to the bead.

  • Publication number: 20210168992
    Abstract: An agricultural wheel includes a body including a rim, and a semi-hollow-type tire including a flexible case including a sheath and a tread. The rim includes a seat section, suitable for receiving the tire, and a tool section, suitable for scraping the seed drill disc. The tread has a profile domed towards the outside of the tire. The case includes a first sidewall, close to the tool section, connecting the sheath to the tread. The sidewall extends radially or slightly inclined radially. The rim includes an intermediate axial section which connects the tool section to the seat section. The intermediate section is shaped as an axial stop for the tire which is form fitted with the first sidewall. The tire is mounted on the seat section by means of the sheath in an axially stressed state which maintains the first sidewall in contact against the stop.

  • Patent number: 10440873
    Abstract: An agricultural tool used to form furrows includes a generally cylindrical support and a plurality of tires. Each tire includes a sole by way of which the tire is mounted on the support, a tread opposite the sole (3) and two sidewalls that connect the tread to the sole. The sole, the tread (5) and the sidewalls jointly form a deformable casing. The tread of at least one of the plurality of tires has a generally domed shape. The sidewalls of this tire are generally inclined radially. The domed shape of the tread and the inclination of the sidewalls are such that the deformation of the casing urges the sole axially outward.

  • Patent number: 10251335
    Abstract: An agricultural machine tool includes a wheel body which includes a hub, a rim and at least two arms which each connect the hub and the rim to each other. At least one aperture is provided between the two arms and the rim, and has a closed contour. The tool includes a component which forms an accessory having a profiled portion having a shape which generally corresponds to the closed contour, and a generally superficial portion which terminates the profiled portion. The profiled portion is introduced at one side of the wheel body into the aperture, closing the aperture by form-fitting cooperation. A set of fixing members ensures the retention of the component in a final position, in which the superficial portion moves into a flush state with the arms, at least in the region of the contour.

  • Patent number: 10179480
    Abstract: The semi-hollow pneumatic tire has an axis of revolution and comprises a sole mountable on the periphery of a rotary support, a tread opposite the sole, and two sidewalls each connecting the sole and the tread so as to form together a cover which defines an uninflated chamber inside the pneumatic tire. The tread has a concave profile according to a plane passing through the axis of revolution, and the pneumatic tire comprises two annular ridges which extend, respectively, the two sidewalls in the outer radial direction and which are connected to two opposite ends of the tread, the two annular ridges defining, respectively, two principal directions which intersect at an acute angle so that, when the pneumatic tire comes into contact with soil, by being subjected to a vertical load, the two annular ridges move closer together locally.
