WHEEL WITH PNEUMATIC ASSEMBLY Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B60C7/00 B60C7/06 B60C7/24 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: wheel assembly includes a rigid wheel and an airless flexible tire with the specific performance of a pneumatic tire. The rigid wheel includes a central portion and a plurality of circumferentially spaced fastening members removably attached to the radially outer edge of the central portion. The tire is mounted on the wheel and engages the fastening elements so that the tire portions that do not engage the fastening members are separated radially from the wheel by the space. The tire is designed such that the tire portions that do not engage the fastening members are bent inward towards the wheel when subjected to the ground engaging pressure. The tire may include one or more tensile elements mounted on the tire to increase the structural strength and elasticity of the tire.

EFFECT: minimization of soil structure destruction.
