Patent number: 11772416Abstract: A system for detection of non-pneumatic tire loading includes a non-pneumatic tire. The non-pneumatic tire includes a ground-contacting annular tread, a central rim, and at least one spoke disk disposed between the rim and the tread. The spoke disk includes an inner ring mounted on the central rim, an outer ring, and spokes extending radially between the inner ring and the outer ring. A shear band is disposed between the outer ring of the spoke disk and the tread. A flange is disposed on an outboard surface of the spokes of the spoke disk. Indicating means are formed on the outboard surface of the plurality of spokes of the spoke disk radially outwardly of the flange. The flange interfaces with the indicating means when the tire is in an overloaded state or is in need of replacement.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2020Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Wesley Glenn Sigler, Joseph Carmine Lettieri

Publication number: 20230243077Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing an annular multiaxial laid fabric and to an annular object produced therewith. The object of the invention is therefore to create a method and a device for forming a multiaxial laid fabric for annular structures which has no twisting or displacement of the thread layers. Furthermore, it should no longer be necessary to close a butt join or overlap separately to form a closed ring of the multiaxial laid fabric. This object is achieved in that at least a lower thread layer (2a) and an upper thread layer in the form of an endless thread array or an endless single thread, or in the form of thread-array sections or single-thread sections, are laid around the entire circumference of two mutually spaced ring elements (3) with differing thread orientations, and the first and upper thread layers (2a, 2b) are then fixed to each other at points.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2022Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Peter Rotter, René Glöckner, Mike Rickmann, Jürgen Tröltzsch, Francesco Sportelli, Claude Boes, Stefan Wilms, Romain Jack Rodolphe Mersch, Joseph Carmine Lettieri, Robert Allen Losey, Daniel Ray Downing
