Patent number: 9662939Abstract: A non-pneumatic tire for supporting a load by working in tension. The tire can comprise a generally annular inner ring, a generally annular outer ring, and a web having a plurality of web elements. The tire can further comprise a layer or layers fabric material acting as a bonding agent to bond tire components together.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2009Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: BRIDGESTONE AMERICAS TIRE OPERATIONS, LLCInventors: Ali Manesh, Michael John Tercha, Brian Meliska, Fidelis Ceranski, Glenn Howland, Louie Stark, Karen Hauch, Todd Petersen

Patent number: 9108470Abstract: A run-flat device, which is inserted into pneumatic tires to allow mobility in the event of pressure loss in the pneumatic tire, can comprise an inner ring, outer ring, and an interconnected web connecting the two. The run-flat device can support an applied load by working in tension and compression.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2010Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: Polaris Industries Inc.Inventors: Mike Tercha, Karen Hauch, Glenn Howland, Todd Petersen, Fidelis Ceranski, Louie Stark, Brian Meliska

Patent number: 8944125Abstract: A non-pneumatic tire for supporting a load by working in tension comprising a generally annular inner ring, a generally annular outer ring, and an interconnected web having a plurality of web elements and comprising a plurality of generally polygonal openings. Web elements are sized, curved, oriented, and comprised of varying thicknesses of material which facilitates buckling when subjected to a compressive load. By buckling, those elements in a deformed portion of the tire between a wheel and a footprint region where the tire contacts a surface can assume a significantly reduced portion of the load, if any. This causes web elements in other portions of the interconnected web to operate in tension to support the load.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2010Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Polaris Industries Inc.Inventors: Ali Manesh, Michael John Tercha, Brian Meliska, Fidelis Ceranski, Glenn Howland, Louie Stark, Karen Hauch, Todd Petersen
