Each wheel assembly includes a rotatable portion connected to its associated tire and a non-rotatable portion connected to the vehicle chassis. A sealed air passageway is provided between an inlet in the non-rotatable portion and an outlet in the rotatable portion of the wheel assembly which is connected to the tire. The sealed air passageway is provided in part by way of a longitudinally extending bore in the spindle which communicates with a chamber defined by a sleeve and a pair of air seals between the sleeve and spindle. A manually actable selector device in the vehicle is provided to permit the user to select one of a plurality of preset air pressure settings for the tires. An air regulating system quickly responds to the selected setting to automatically regulate the air pressure within the tires at the preset pressure associated with the selected setting of the selector device. A master- slave valving arrangement controlled by pilot air is preferably used to perform the inflation or deflation process.

This sends pressure and temperature data over an RF link to a compact receiver on the car. Sampling rates increase automatically when either a change in pressure is detected or when wheel inertia is detected. The system stops transmitting below a threshold pressure to preserve battery life. The receiver sends data to the car control via CAN.

  • How to Fix a Flat Tyre and Other Adventures in Cycling
    HOW TO FIX A FLAT TYRE AND OTHER ADVENTURES IN CYCLING Most of your cycling will be trouble free, but from time to time issues arise. This document is intended to guide you through sorting out some problems that might occur on the road without the need to go to a bike shop for help. It covers changing an inner tube, fixing a flat, adjusting your seat height and fine tuning your gears and brakes. Flat tyres 1 - change a tube Flat tyres don’t happen as often as you might think, but when they do, it doesn’t take long to fix them. The process is simple and logical and you’ll only need this guide the first time. Explosive punctures are rare, it’s more likely that you’ll notice that the bike might be getting harder to pedal or wobble a bit because the tyre is getting soft. If your tyre is flat, STOP and move off the road before doing anything to the bike. Your control of the bike and braking power is much less with a soft tyre and riding with a flat could damage the wheel rim. You need to carry some basic equipment with you: one or two spare inner tubes three tyre levers a pump or CO2 inflator a spanner if you don’t have quick release hubs a puncture repair kit is optional By replacing a tube you’ll be back on the bike much quicker than if you tried to repair it on the footpath. Once off the road have a good look around the outside of the tyre tread to see if there’s anything stuck in the tyre that may have caused the puncture.

  • Tire - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Tire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire Tire From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A tire (or tyre ) is a ring-shaped covering that fits around a wheel's rim to protect it and enable better vehicle performance. Most tires, such as those for automobiles and bicycles, provide traction between the vehicle and the road while providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock. The materials of modern pneumatic tires are synthetic rubber, natural rubber, fabric and wire, along with carbon black and other chemical compounds. They consist of a tread and a body. The tread provides traction while the body provides containment for a quantity of compressed air. Before rubber was developed, the first versions of tires were simply bands of metal that fitted around wooden wheels to prevent wear and tear. Early rubber tires were solid (not pneumatic). Today, the majority of tires are pneumatic inflatable structures, comprising a doughnut-shaped body of cords and wires encased in rubber and generally filled with compressed air to form an inflatable cushion. Pneumatic tires are used on many types of vehicles, including cars, bicycles, motorcycles, trucks, earthmovers, and aircraft. Metal tires are still used on locomotives and railcars, and solid rubber (or Stacked and standing car tires other polymer) tires are still used in various non-automotive applications, such as some casters, carts, lawnmowers, and wheelbarrows.
