Patent number: 9688109Abstract: A pneumatic tire assembly includes a tire having a pneumatic cavity and a filter disposed between the pneumatic cavity and atmosphere. The filter is constructed of a hydrophobic material for avoiding all liquid adhesion. First and second sidewalls extend respectively from first and second tire bead regions to a tire tread region. The first sidewall has at least one bending region operatively bending when radially within a rolling tire footprint. A sidewall groove is defined by groove walls positioned within the bending region of the first tire sidewall. The sidewall groove deforms segment by segment between a non-deformed state and a deformed, constricted state in response to bending of the bending region of the first sidewall while radially within the rolling tire footprint.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2016Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: William Alain Talbot, Jason Mark Middelberg, Paul Welbes, Annette Lechtenboehmer

Patent number: 9233582Abstract: A self-inflating tire assembly includes an air tube connected to a tire and defining an air passageway, the air tube being composed of a flexible material operative to allow an air tube segment opposite a tire footprint to flatten, closing the passageway, and resiliently unflatten into an original configuration. The air tube is sequentially flattened by the tire footprint in a direction opposite to a tire direction of rotation to pump air along the passageway to a regulator device. The regulator device regulates the inlet air flow to the air tube and the outlet air flow to the tire cavity.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Daniel Paul Luc Marie Hinque, Anne Therese Peronnet-Paquin, Gauthier Piret, William Alain Talbot, Yannick Raymond Georges Haegel

Patent number: 9193226Abstract: The invention relates to an air compressor mountable in an annular tire cavity of a pneumatic tire. The compressor comprises an air inlet, an air outlet, and a body in which are formed a blind hole having a sidewall and a compression chamber in fluid communication with the air inlet and the air outlet. Further, the tire comprises a compression piston configured for reciprocating in the compression chamber for providing compressed air to the tire cavity through the air outlet, and a hydraulic fluid passage for providing hydraulic fluid into the blind hole, as well as a guiding piston configured for reciprocating in the blind hole in sealed contact with the sidewall and for guiding a reciprocating movement of the body relative to the compression piston. The invention further relates to a tire assembly comprising a tire and the compressor.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2013Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Daniel Paul Luc Marie Hinque, William Alain Talbot
