  • Patent number: 10668769
    Abstract: An anti-roll off assembly. The assembly comprises a band, a plurality of compression-resistant well filler assemblies and a coupler assembly. The band is configured to extend substantially around a circumference of a well portion of a wheel. The compression-resistant well filler assemblies are coupled to the band and are configured to be positioned against the well portion to block off respective volumes along circumferential portions of the well portion. The coupler assembly is configured to increase a tension force of the band and comprises a first trunnion, a second trunnion and a threaded member. The first trunnion is in contact with the band and has a first threaded opening. The second trunnion is in contact with the band and has a second threaded opening. The threaded member comprises a first end threadedly engaged with the first threaded opening and a second end threadedly engaged with the second threaded opening.

  • Patent number: 10343451
    Abstract: A system. The system includes a one-piece wheel, a tire mounted to the wheel, and an antiroll off assembly. The wheel defines an axis of rotation and includes a disc portion which defines a central opening, and a rim portion which is connected to the disc portion and defines first and second flange portions, first and second seat portions and a well portion. The anti-roll off assembly is positioned in the well portion and includes a band, a plurality of filler assemblies connected to the band and a coupler assembly configured to adjust a tension force applied to the band. The coupler assembly includes a first trunnion in contact with the band and having a first threaded opening, a second trunnion in contact with the band and having a second threaded opening, and a threaded member threadedly engaged with the first threaded opening and the second threaded opening.
