Patent attributes
Non-pneumatic resilient wheel (10), that is supported structurally and defines three perpendicular directions, circumferential (X), axial (Y) and radial (Z). The wheel comprises a hub (11); an annular band referred to a shear band (13) comprising at least one inner circumferential membrane (14) and one outer circumferential membrane (16) that are oriented in the circumferential direction X; and a plurality of support elements (12) that connect the hub (11) to the inner circumferential membrane (14). The two membranes (14, 16) are connected to one another, in zones (17) referred to as anchoring zones, by means of a series (15A, 15B, 15C), that extends in the circumferential direction (X), of cylinder structures (15) referred to as connecting cylindrical structures that are non-touching in the circumferential direction X. Each connecting cylindrical structure (15) comprises a plurality of elementary cylinders (15a, 15b) having their generatrix oriented along the axial direction Y, said elementary cylinders being fitted one inside the other and interconnected to one another in each anchoring zone (17).
