Abstract

A system that consists of hollow wheels and axles that are perforated to allow the air to circulate between the wheels of any vehicle having pneumatic tyres. The wheels are connected by air cables. The circulating air passes through two processing boxes P, T. These boxes control and regulate the tyre pressure according to the speed of revolution of the wheels. As the wheel revolution speed increase the tyre and air pressure will increase, the tyre and air temperature will decrease. As the wheel revolution speed decreases the tyre and air pressure will decrease and the tyre and air temperature will increase. <IMAGE>

Description

TYRE TEHPERATURE AND PRESSURE CONTROL SYSTEM Description To circulate the air between the wheels of any vehicle via the axles and wheels connected by air cables.
The circulation is shown in Figure 'A'. The axle is shown in Figures B1, B2, B3 and Bk. The wheel is shown in Figures C1 and C2.
Air pressure and therefore tyre pressure is controlled by box 'P' in Figure 'A'. Air temperature and therefore tyre temperature is controlled by box 'T' in Figure 'A'.
As the wheel and axle speed increases, box 'P' increases the air pressure and also therefore the tyre pressure.
As the wheel and axle speed decreases the air pressure and also therefore the tyre pressure is reduced by box 'P'.
As the wheel and axle speed increases the air temperature and therefore the tyre temperature is reduced by box 'T'.
As the wheel and axle speed decreases the air temperature is increased by box 'T' and therefore also the tyre temperature.
Box 'P' is worked by a pressure gauge and an electric pump.
Box 'T' is worked by an electric heater and thermostat and cooled by a radiator.
The axle has a hollow inner which has holes bored in it. Description The axle outer has holes bored in it and an outer sheath of rubber covering it as shown in Figures B1, B2, B3 and B.
The wheel has holes bored in it and has a rubber centre sleeve also with holes bored in it as shown in Figures C1 and C2.
The wheel has a hub cap made of sealing rubber fastened by a metal hub cap fixed by bolts as shown in Figures C1 and C2, attached to the outer face of the wheel.
The outer axle is supported by two sealed, enclosed ball bearings, journal bearings. These bearings are separated by a compartment of grease as shown in Figures B1, B2, B3 and B4.
The wheels, axle inners and outers have peripheral holes bored in them as shown in Figures Bl, B2, B3, B4 C1 and C2.
The air cables form a circuit with boxes 'P' and 'T' as shown in Figure 'A' The air cables lie in the perforated hollow inner axle shafts.

Claims (6)

1. A tyre pressure and temperature system that consists of hollow wheels and axles that have peripheral holes bored into them. These wheels and axles are connected by air cables, into a circulation system that connects with two processing boxes 'P' and 'T'.
Box 'P' regulates and controls the air pressure in the system using an electric pump and a pressure gauge.
Box 'T' regulates and controls the air temperature in the system using a radiator to cool the air and an electric heater and thermostat to heat the air. Both processing boxes work according to the speed of the wheel and axle revolutions. As the wheel and axle increase revolutions per minute box 'P' increases air pressure and box T reduces air temperature. As wheel and axle decrease the number of revolutions per minute the box 'P' reduces the air pressure and box 'T' increases the air temperature.
2. P. tyre and air pressure and temperature system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the wheel has peripheral holes bored into it with a rubber sealing hub cap affixed by a metal hub cap secured by two bolts on the outside face of the wheel.
