Abstract: A magazine suitable for receiving at least one fastening means is provided, comprising at least one receiving cell, wherein each receiving cell has a cell frame which has a through-opening, wherein the through-opening extends through the receiving cell. Each receiving cell has a multiplicity of engagement fingers which extend from the cell frame with their free ends into the through-opening, wherein each of the engagement fingers has at least one rib. Furthermore, a filled magazine and the use of the filled magazine is also provided.

Abstract: A non-pneumatic wheel (100) including a hub (300) and a non-pneumatic tire (102), as well as a method for mounting the non-pneumatic tire (102) onto the hub (300). The hub (300) is formed, with grooves (318) that receive the radially-inner ends (110) of spokes (106) of the non-pneumatic tire (102). To secure the tire (102) onto the hub (300) during assembly, the grooves (318) with the radially inner ends (110) of the spokes (106) received therein are pulled radially inward to decrease the diameter of the hub (300) and increase tension in the spokes (106).

Abstract: A hub (300) for a non-pneumatic wheel (102) and the non-pneumatic wheel (102) incorporating such hub (300). The hub (300) includes an annular receiver (302) with a plurality of projections (312) and grooves (318) arranged in an alternating manner along the circumferential direction of the hub (300). The grooves (318) are configured to receive tension-transmitting elements or spokes (106) of the non-pneumatic wheel (102). The annular receiver (302) may be manufactured from a single sheet of metal that 2 is folded and welded to create the projections (312) and grooves (318).

Abstract: A radially expandable building drum (1), intended for the manufacture of an adapter for mounting a tyre on a rim, comprises a central axis (X-X?), and an assembly zone coaxial with the latter and comprising a first set (10) of segments (100) and a second set (20) of segments (200), all the segments being arranged circumferentially around the central axis, in which the segments (100) of the first set (10) and the segments (200) of the second set (20) face one another axially. The external circumferential face of each segment (100, 200) comprises a groove (103, 203) for accommodating a bead wire, and the said drum passes, in the said assembly zone, from a retracted first position of substantially cylindrical shape into an expanded second position of substantially frustoconical shape when the segments (100) are driven by a first cam (300) and the segments (200) by an adjacent second cam (400).

Abstract: A machine for presenting a tire with the axis horizontal, allowing access to the inside of the tire, which has a frame bearing an upright on which a support for the tire is mounted for vertical translation, the support ensuring on its own the holding and rotation of the tire about its axis by being in contact with the latter solely via a toric section of the tire, this section being arranged substantially vertically when the tire is installed on the machine.
