  • Patent number: 7100643
    Abstract: An apparatus for filling a cartridge having at least two compartments for storing fluid includes at least one reservoir of fluid; at least two metering pumps connected to the at least one reservoir of fluid; and at least two filling tubes connected to the at least two metering pumps, respectively; wherein each filling tube simultaneously fills one of the at least two compartments in the cartridge with the fluid. The apparatus preferably includes a puck which defines a substantially cylindrical cavity and a pin eccentrically disposed in the substantially cylindrical cavity whereby the cartridge may be inserted in the cavity in the puck and aligned by insertion of the pin of the puck in an eccentric through hole of the cartridge. A rotary screw engages the puck and positions the cartridge for sealing.

  • Publication number: 20030140999
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a motor vehicle tire, preferably a colored motor vehicle tire. The tire is configured so that a significant portion of the external surface of the tire displays colors. Preferably, the chemical composition of the tire is colored so that when the tire is formed the tire is colored throughout its depth and colorfast, and in the case of the tread portion does not change color significantly with wear. In a preferred embodiment, the chemical composition of the tire is provided with a coloring agent or additive such as a pigment or dye that will yield a desired color upon completion of the tire manufacturing process. Such dye or pigment may be enhanced by the use of reflective, luminescent or photochromic agents that will enhance certain effects and appearances of the tire including ease of visibility, other safety concerns including wear, puncture identification, and enhanced aesthetic appearance.
