  • Patent number: 9586446
    Abstract: A ballistic resilient run-flat tire device, kit and method for manufacturing the same are presented for providing a vehicle a capability of traveling for at least 30 miles at 30 miles per hour, after the device has been compromised as of result of exposure due to ballistic ordinance rifle shots such as 7.62×39 mm and 7.62×54R or air loss from road hazard punctures. The device includes a tire carcass and a polyurethane inner coating inside the tire carcass that defines an inflatable hollow chamber within the ballistic resilient run-flat tire. The tire carcass has an annular tread, sidewalls, and beads. The polyurethane inner coating inside the tire carcass defining a hollow chamber provides additional protection along the sidewalls and tread of the tire carcass. The kit includes the un-interconnected elements of the device. The method includes the steps of curing, discharging, filling, injecting, introducing, mounting, obtaining, and preparing.

  • Publication number: 20090062425
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for producing a cured tire filling composition and the composition resulting from such a method. The A component has from about 3 to about 30 weight % of a polyisocyanate comprising polymeric toluene diisocyanate (TDI) or diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) with an average functionality of 2 or greater, from about 10 to about 60 weight % of a high molecular weight polyol or blend of polyols having a hydroxyl number in the range of about 20 to about 56, and the balance of a plasticizer. The amount of plasticizer is an amount sufficient to lower the NCO content of the resulting. A component to be less than 10% and is in the range of from about 10 to about 80 weight %. The B component has from 0 to about 30 weight % of the high molecular weight polyol or blend of polyols, from about 70 to about 99 weight % added water, from about 1 to about 8 weight % of a hydrophilic moiety, and from about 0.1 to about 5 weight % of a catalyst.
