  • Safety device and tire construction for vehicles or other contrivances
    Patent number: 4681147
    Abstract: A safety device and a tubeless tire construction comprising a tubeless tire having beads the thickness of which is equal to e and an integral height H and a safety ring supported by a rim having a width equal to L. The dimensional relationships between the safety device and the tubeless tire are calculated so that:the width L' at the top of the safety ring is such that:L-3e.ltoreq.L'.ltoreq.L-e,andthe height H' of the safety device is such that: ##EQU1## the rigidity R of the safety ring is such that:750 Kg/cm.ltoreq.R.ltoreq.1050 Kg/cm,and the weight of the safety ring, expressed as a percentage of the weight of the tire, and its SHORE A hardness correspond so that, when the latter is between 70 and 80, the weight is between 60% and 70% of the weight of the tire.
