Abstract

This invention is for newly produced or remanufactured tires for enabling light trucks and passenger vehicles to be driven on water immersed roads and increasing mileage on roads by the orientation of impellers on the side or sides of the tires to scoop the air or water on the road, accelerate and throw the scooped medium in the opposite direction of travel to increase mileage, and indicate the way, how to reduce separation of tires, and use oil by other than natural recourses for all or the additional rubber required for the impellers.

Description

SPECIFICATION

This invention relates to light truck and passenger tires for enabling vehicles to be driven on water immersed roads and increasing mileage on dry roads.

When motor vehicles are driven, they are moving against air resistance, and when an unexpected amount of rain falls in cities, river bank overflows, or dike breaks, water overflows low elevations and the vehicles have to move against water resistance. Many vehicles in those circumstances are stranded. One reason is that, some of the cubic area of the vehicle displaced by water reducing the weight of the vehicle by the displaced water weight, which supposed to be pressing the tires against the road surface to produce traction between the tires and the road surface.

Driving on dry road have other problems, the separation of tires, which cause minor, sometimes major accidents, and slowing down the traffic when road blocks are erected, to give access for emergency vehicles. The majority of tires are simply worn out, and causing unbalanced wheels, which are corrected by replacing the tires by new or rethreaded tires, which are eventually discarded to increase the scrap tire piles in this and other countries around the world.

When the tires are newly produced or rethreaded, besides natural rubber, synthetic rubber is used therefore increasing the demand to use up more natural recourses, in this case oil, to produce synthetic rubber.

I have found that the present invention will provide solutions for the above stated three concerns.
One is, to enabling light trucks and passenger vehicles to be driven through water immersed roads and increasing mileage on dry roads, and enabling vehicles to be driven on roads where water receded and sediment of sand and mud covers the roads. Second is, to reduce separation of tires.
Third is to obtain oil from other than natural recourses to produce synthetic rubber.

To enable light trucks and passenger vehicles to be driven on water immersed roads, and increasing mileage on roads is achieved by incorporating impellers 2 in Fig.l and 11 in Fig.5 on the front tires of front wheels driven vehicles, and all tires on four wheels driven vehicles.

To reduce separation of tires is achieve by remanufacturing tires, rather than rethreading tires. The remanufactured tires produce better bond, because the whole side and tread rubber is replaced, rather than attached new threaded portion of the tire.

The oil required to produce synthetic rubber is obtained from scrap tires by the process of Pyrolysis technology, to be used for the impellers of the remanufactured tires, and to newly produced tires if it is found feasible.

The tire remanufacturing operation of Mobious is known by some in the industry as bead to bead remolding. The casings of the tires are obtained from good scrap tires, rigorously tested and found good in all aspects. During the process the rubber from the scrap tires tread and sides are grinded off and new rubber is bonded on the casings, as it is done when new tires are produced.
Grooving the sides and the thread patterns of the tire, then the sides of the tires pressed with logo patterns under high pressure and temperature, which also cures the tire. Using this method of production the remanufactured tires cost reduced to about half of the newly produced tires.

In the newly produced tires or the above stated Mobious remanufacturing operation is made without incorporating impellers to tires, therefore in this invention, both the new tires operation and the Mobious, or remanufactured tires operation is extended by incorporating impellers at about the sidewall veneering machine operation, where the impellers are incorporated in the veneered rubber sidings, one or both sides of the tires.

The array of impellers by the engine's power caused centrifugal force throws the air or water in the opposite direction of travel of the vehicle, which force in turn helps to move the vehicle in the forward direction. Similar result is obtained when the blades of the oar pushed against the water in the opposite direction of travel, which in turn moves the rowboat in forward direction.

A newly produced or remanufactured tire 1 in Fig.l is showing a front wheels driven vehicle's front right outer side of the tire, having 16 impellers 2. The impeller's face 5 on Fig.2 is shown by enlarged pictorial view, and on its plan view the rounded end 6 on Fig.3. The travel direction of the vehicle is indicated by arrow 3 and the air and water resistance by arrows 4.

The front left outer side 7 on Fig.4 is the mirror image of tire 1. The direction of the vehicle is indicated by arrow 8 and the air or water resistance by arrows 9.
Incorporating impellers on both sides of the tire is optional which will be directed by advantages or necessity.

Another example of a remanufactured or newly produced tire 10 on Fig.5 is showing a front wheels driven vehicle's front right outer side of the tire, having 16 impellers 11.
The enlarged view of the alternative impeller 17 is shown on Fig.7. The direction of the vehicle is indicated by arrow 12 and the air and water resistance by arrows 13.

The front left outer side of the tire 15 is the mirror image of tire 10. The travel direction of the vehicle is indicated by arrow 16 and the air or water resistance by arrows 14.
Incorporating impellers on both sides of the tire is optional which will be directed by advantages, or necessity.
Another possibility is to produce circular band units 18,19 shown in Fig.8 and 9, or 20 and 21 in Fig.10 and 11. These units could be attached to the tire's sidewall rubber coverings, extends from top, down to the bead heel to newly produced tires made by the prior art, or remanufactured tires are made by the prior art of Mobious, without impellers.

In Section A, in Fig.12 is showing the height 22 of the impeller 2, which height is between 1/4 and 2 inches, the cross section 23 of the circular band thickness is between 1/16 and 1/ 4 of an inch above the sidewall rubber coverings of the tire, extends from top, down to the bead heel of the veneered rubber sidings. Both ends of the impeller 6 radii in Fig.3 is between 1/8 and 5/8 of an inch and equal.
In Section B, the alternative form of the impellers 11 in Fig.13 the face height 24 at the middle of the curvature is between 1/4 and 2 inches, and the thickness of the circular band 25 is between 1/16 and 1/4 of an inch above the sidewall rubber coverings of the tire, extends from top, down to the bead heel of the veneered rubber sidings.

The segment 26 in Fig.14 is for taking a cross section at C.

In Section C, in Fig.15 is the circular band 27 incorporating impeller 28.
The segment 29 in Fig.16 is for taking a cross section at D.

In Section D in Fig.17 is the circular band 30 incorporating impeller 31.

The impellers are incorporated as part of a newly produced tire, remanufactured tire, or added as circular band units, attached by vulcanization, or other bonding methods and materials accepted by authorities regulating the tire manufacturing industry.

Impeller 35 in Fig.18 is showing its rounded ends as half circles, which could be an ellipse from the minor axis. The tire is not shown, only its center 56. The radii centers of the impeller align with the radius of the tire. The center of the impeller close to the inner circle 32 is the pivotal point for the impeller, and also the pivotal point for angular measurements.

Impeller 34 from the pivotal point is showing 50 degree angular orientation, although the maximum suitable angular orientation could be 70 degree, opposite of the wheel rotation 40, which tend to pull forward and push upward the front of the vehicle, especially in water immersed road, while impeller 36 shows 20 degree angle in the same direction as the wheel rotation, although its suitable maximum angular variation is 30 degree, which tend to pull forward and downward the front of the vehicle.

Impeller 37,38 and 39 in Fig.19 is the mirror images of impeller 34,35 and 36.
Arrows 40 and 42 are showing the wheels rotation and arrows 41 and 43 are showing the forward direction of the vehicle.

The alternative impeller's front 45 in Fig.20 align with the radius of the tire, which center is 56. One end of the impeller close to the inner circle 54 is the pivotal point of the impeller. Impeller 44 from the pivotal point is showing 50 degree angular orientation, although the maximum suitable angular orientation could be 70 degree in the opposite direction of the wheel rotation, which tend to pull forward and push upward the front of the vehicle, while impeller 46 showing 12 degree angle, in the same direction as the rotation of the wheel, although the suitable maximum angular variation is 30 degree, which tend to pull forward and downward the front of the vehicle.

Impeller 47, 48 and 49 in Fig.21 is the mirror images of impeller 44, 45 and 46. The arrows 50 and 52 are showing the wheels rotation and arrows 51 and 53 are showing the forward direction of the vehicle.

Impellers Fig.18, 19 are placed in an equal distance from the center of the tire 56. The example is shown on a segment of a circular band, where the impeller 2 starting point is about 1 1/4 inch inside the inner circle 32 and the other end radius center is about 1 1/4 inch inside the outer circle 33. The length of the impeller is between 2 and 9 inches. The angle is measured from the radius of the tire, and the same radius crossing 1 1/4 inch inside the inner circle 32, and a line from there crossing 1 1/4 inch inside the outer circle 33, which coincide the radius center at the other end of the impeller.
Impellers 11 in Fig.20, 21 starting point is about 3/4 inch inside the inner circle of the circular band 54, and the end point is established about 3/4 inch inside the circular band's outer circle 55. The face length of the impeller is between 2 and 9 inches. The angle is measured from the radius of the tire, and the same radius crossing 3/4 inch inside the inner circle 54, and a line from there crossing 3/4inch inside the outer circle 55.
In new or remanufactured tires the thickness may gradual increased in the veneered rubber siding around the impellers 2 in Fig.l and 4, to increase the strength of narrow impellers.

The presently designated four season tires, for example, would incorporate impellers for water immersed roads and increasing mileage on roads by the impellers backward orientation about 0 to about 25 degree within 50 degree as shown on Fig.18 and 20. Summer tires to increase mileage on roads by forward orientation of the impellers within the suitable maximum 30 degree orientation, although in Fig.18 shown 20 degree, and in Fig.20 12 degree orientation of the impellers. Tires for enabling vehicles to be driven on roads where water receded and sediment of sand and mud covers the roads, the impellers are placed from 25 degree to maximum 70 degree backward orientation.

The evaluation during and after experiments should provide the most advantageous angular positioning of the impellers to be used, which is a compromise between forward, backward, or aligned orientation, to be able to drive the vehicle on both, dry and water immersed roads. The experiment should also include the preferred inner and outer diameter for the start and end points of the impellers, including the preferred length, height, width, and the distance for 57, which is between 1/8 and 1 inch for establishing the curvature for impeller 2, or measuring of inside radius 5 to 9 inches.
