Abstract

A radiation tire according to the present invention has wires, nets or bands made of material having good thermal conductivity mounted in a cover, which wires, etc. are connected or can be connected with a plate exposed to the atmosphere made of material having equally good thermal conductivity.

Claims

1. In a rotary wheel, an outer tire and an inner metallic rim surrounded and engaged by said tire, said tire having an outer rubber layer and an inner fiber layer engaging said outer layer, and said layers forming for said tire an outer circumferential wall and a pair of side walls extending, respectively, inwardly from opposed peripheral edges of said outer circumferential wall into engagement with said rim, and a single network of elongated thermally conductive members situated between said inner and outer layers of said outer tire wall, said network being made up of circumferentially extending thermally conductive members distributed between said side walls of said tire and transversely extending thermally conductive members intersecting and extending across said circumferentially extending members and distributed circumferentially along said circumferential wall, said transverse members each having extensions extending inwardly substantially radially along said side walls between said layers thereof into engagement with said rim so that heat generated in the tire will be carried away by said thermally conductive members and transmitted thereby to said rim to be dissipated by the latter to the outer atmosphere.

2. The combination of claim 1 and wherein said rim carries fins for enhancing the dissipation of heat to the outer atmosphere.

3. The combination of claim 1 and wherein said thermally conductive members are covered with a heat insulator material at regions adjacent said rim.
