Abstract

588,959. Pneumatic tyres. WINGFOOT CORPORATION. March 12, 1945, No. 6153. Convention date, Aug. 11, 1944. [Class 144 (ii)] Tyres for aircraft landing wheels are fitted, on one or both side-walls, with detachable flaps 12 adapted to initiate wheel-spin when opened by the airflow. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the flap proper consists of a reinforced rubber strip 16 secured by press-button fasteners 18, 20 (or other readily-detachable means) to an anchor-strip 14 vulcanized or'otherwise permanently secured to the tyre-wall 10. Fig. 6 shows, in opened position, a bellows-type modification in which the flap 48 is connected by collapsable walls 50 to a base-strip 46 which is detachably connected to a pair of anchor-strips 42, 44.
