The carcass includes an internal circumference and tapered ends. The chuck system comprises a plurality of chucks wherein each chuck includes a circumferential or substantially circumferential external surface and a plurality of friction reducing members positioned on the external surface. The friction reducing members are positioned to engage the internal circumference of the toroidal structure such as a tire. The method of processing a tire carcass includes positioning the tire carcass on fixed diameter chucks having friction reducing members on the external surface. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20150290841 | MACHINE AND METHOD FOR REMOVING BEADS FROM TIRES AT THE END OF LIFE - Machine for extracting a cord made of metal material from a sidewall of a tire, being part of the sidewall and defining a support structure of said tire, including: a frame; support means for the tire configured to support said tire resting on one sidewall in a loading zone; a hook for extracting said cord from the sidewall of the tire; means for manipulating said hook, configured to manipulate the hook with respect to the frame in an extraction direction between a position for engagement with said tire in the loading zone and a position for disengagement from said tire and extraction of said cord; a command and control unit to command said means for manipulating the hook,: | 10-15-2015 |
| 20160001610 | RUNFLAT DEVICE AND FITTING METHOD - A runflat device, and a method of fitting a runflat device. The runflat device can include a chain of segments which is flexible enough to be manipulated for fitting, while also being laterally stable to ensure correct positioning and to avoid misalignment when tightening onto a wheel. The fitting method initially expands the runflat device within the cavity of the tyre, retaining the runflat device securely in place against the inside of the tyre's tread area. This advantageously leaves the beads of the tyre unobstructed for fitting to a wheel. | 01-07-2016 |
| 20160068032 | Tire Shield Attachment System - This tire shield attachment system uses flexible connectors including chains, mesh, webbings, connectors, cables or the like to hold the protective shield in position adjacent the sidewall. The connectors cross over the treaded part of the tire and may be placed through gaps between the treads or over the treads of the tire being protected. The connectors are attached on the inboard side to an inboard attachment ring, and on the outboard side to the tire shield directly or to an outboard ring to which the shield may be mounted. The inboard ring can be opened for installation around the axle without removing the wheel. The tire shield may, in most embodiments, also be removed or changed out without removing the attachment system. Both inboard and outboard rings may be formed from flexible or rigid materials and may have elastic properties and/or incorporate tensioning devices. The same is true for the connectors, which may be placed over or under the tire shield. | 03-10-2016 |
| 20160082678 | TIRE REPAIR TOOLS AND METHODS - Disclosed are systems and methods for repairing a tire puncture wound. In one embodiment, a tire wound repair kit includes a platform configured to receive application of force by a foot, wherein the platform is coupled to a tire plug insertion tool. The kit can include a foot strap and a leverage strap. In some embodiments, a method of repairing a tire puncture wound involves affixing a tire plug insertion tool to a platform, and applying force by foot to the platform to drive the tire plug insertion tool into the tire puncture wound. In other embodiments, a tire puncture repair tool includes a container adapted to transmit foot force, a lid fastened to the container, and a tire plug insertion tool coupled to the container. In one embodiment, a foot strap is coupled to the container. | 03-24-2016 |
| 20160082680 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING A PUMPING TUBE INTO AN AIR MAINTENANCE TIRE SIDEWALL GROOVE - Apparatus and method of assembling an elongate air pumping tube into an elongate tire sidewall groove includes engaging the tire sidewall outward surface with an impact wheel at an impact location proximally adjacent and above the elongate groove as the tire is rotated. The groove is thereby spread segment-by-segment for segment-by-segment synchronous insertion of the tube into the groove. The groove is closed segment-by-segment as each spread segment is returned to its original narrower dimension utilizing elastomeric material composition properties of the tire sidewall. | 03-24-2016 |

| 20150047196 | METHOD OF WHEEL AND HUBCAP ADORNMENT - A method of adorning a wheel or hubcap including the steps of: placing a circular center piece onto a wheel or hubcap; surrounding the circular center piece with alternating curved sections; inserting an insignia onto the circular center piece; and placing lettering on the alternating curved sections, where the lettering comprises identifying information concerning the insignia. In one particular embodiment, the step of surrounding the circular center piece includes alternating the size of the alternating curved sections and further including the step of surrounding the curved sections with a solid rim. The step of placing lettering may include placing an outer circle of lettering and an inner circle of lettering. | 02-19-2015 |
| 20160052336 | Method and Apparatus for Constructing a Floating Wheel Cap - Apparatus and method for assembling a floating wheel cap. A bearing is seated into the rear of a passage through an outer disk, against a step, the outer disk offset weighted. A locking ring is fitted into an internal groove in the passage behind the bearing to retain the bearing. The outer disk and the bearing are assembled over a post of an inner disk, the forward end of the post exposed in the front of the assembled outer and inner disks. A second locking ring is fitted to an external groove on the exposed forward end of the post to retain the outer disk on the inner disk. A center ornamental portion cut from an original fixed wheel center cap is cut from the fixed center cap, and attached to the outer disk converting the fixed center cap to a floating center cap. | 02-25-2016 |
