Patent number: 11577550Abstract: A tire and wheel assembly includes a non-pneumatic tire and a wheel. The non-pneumatic tire has a tread, a plurality of spokes, and an inner liner with a first side, a second side, and at least one taper extending between the first side and the second side. The wheel has an inboard side, an outboard side, and an outer surface with at least one complementary taper extending between the inboard side and the outboard side such that the non-pneumatic tire is serviceably mounted on the wheel. A locking ring can be included and the locking ring can be configured to abut against the inboard side or the outboard side of the wheel. Also, a wheel flange extending inwardly from the inner liner can be included and the wheel flange is configured to abut against the outboard side or the inboard side of the wheel.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Cindy Sofia Barrera-Martinez, Janice Lisa Tardiff, Vishal Vinayak Nageshkar, Adam Wirth, David Scott Rohweder, Robert Henry Camilleri, Ryan Buttimer

Publication number: 20180094756Abstract: An electrically isolating gasket is disclosed wherein a coating layer is disposed on at least one surface, and in some embodiments, on all surfaces, of the disc-shaped core gasket component of the electrically isolating gasket. The core gasket component can be made of a metallic material and may include one or more grooves in each axial surface of the core gasket component. When the core gasket component includes such grooves, the coating can be applied to all surfaces of the grooves as well as all other surfaces of the core gasket component so that the coating encapsulates the core gasket component. The coating layer can be, for example, polyimide, polyamide, ceramic, and aluminum oxide.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2017Publication date: April 5, 2018Inventors: Ian Brown, Ryan Buttimer, T.
