Tire for agricultural roller and agricultural roller equipped with such tires
An agricultural tool used to form furrows includes a generally cylindrical support and a plurality of tires. Each tire includes a sole by way of which the tire is mounted on the support, a tread opposite the sole (3) and two sidewalls that connect the tread to the sole. The sole, the tread (5) and the sidewalls jointly form a deformable casing. The tread of at least one of the plurality of tires has a generally domed shape. The sidewalls of this tire are generally inclined radially. The domed shape of the tread and the inclination of the sidewalls are such that the deformation of the casing urges the sole axially outward.
BICYCLE AND TIRE STRUCTURE
A tire structure disposed at a rim is provided. The tire structure includes a tire body, a flexible sealing member and a nozzle. The tire body is ring-shaped and includes a groove and two beads. The flexible sealing member is connected to the tire body to form an inflating space with the groove, and the flexible sealing member includes a through hole. The nozzle is disposed at the flexible sealing member. The nozzle includes a base and a valve stem. The base includes a screw hole and is disposed at a far side of the flexible sealing member. The screw hole corresponds to the through hole. The valve stem includes a fastening end and an inflating channel. The fastening end is configured to insert into the screw hole, and the inflating channel is configured to allow the gas to pass therethrough.

Assembly for a tire, tire and associated manufacturing methods
An assembly (1) for a tire comprises a first structure (10), a second structure (12) and bearing cord elements. The assembly comprises a gimped securing element (18) comprising a core (18a) around which a gimp yarn (18b) is wound. The core (18a) exhibits an elongation at rupture A.sub.rupture_core and the gimp yarn (18b) exhibits an elongation at rupture A.sub.rupture_gimp such that: A.sub.rupture_core<A.sub.1=h/(E+e.sub.1+e.sub.2) and A.sub.rupture_gimp>A.sub.1=h/(E+e.sub.1+e.sub.2) in which h is the conformation height of the assembly, e.sub.1 is the thickness of the first structure (10), e.sub.2 is the thickness of the second structure (12), and E is the lock length.

REINFORCED BICYCLE RIM
A bicycle rim assembly includes a rim defining a central plane and comprising annular inner and outer walls. The outer wall includes first and second bead seats separated by a center well. First and second annular projections are spaced laterally from each other relative to the central plane and extend substantially radially outwardly from the outer wall. Each of the annular projections includes a radially outer face and a laterally inner face. Right and left covers are spaced from each other and are preferably coupled to the rim to cover at least a portion of the laterally inner face and the radially outer face of the first and second annular projections, respectively, and also the first and second bead seats, respectively. One or both of the right and left covers can be fiber reinforced. First and second pieces of tape can be overlapped and used to secure the covers to the rim.

Semi-hollow tire with specified profile and rolling member equipped with plurality of such tires
Pneumatic tire 1 for an agricultural machine, having an axis of revolution XX and comprising a tread 7, a sole 11 situated opposite the tread 7, and two sidewalls 13, 15 connecting the tread 7 to the sole 11. The tread 7, the sole 11 and the two sidewalls 13, 15 together form a casing 17 defining a chamber 19 inside the pneumatic tire 1. At least one of the sidewalls 13, 15 comprises, in this order and in succession in a direction oriented radially from the axis of revolution XX to the outside, a proximal portion 131, an intermediate portion 133 and a distal portion 135. In the unloaded state, the intermediate portion 133 projects into the chamber 19 in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of revolution XX.

Semi-hollow pneumatic tire for agricultural machines, in particular for sowing machines
The semi-hollow pneumatic tire has an axis of revolution and comprises a sole mountable on the periphery of a rotary support, a tread opposite the sole, and two sidewalls each connecting the sole and the tread so as to form together a cover which defines an uninflated chamber inside the pneumatic tire. The tread has a concave profile according to a plane passing through the axis of revolution, and the pneumatic tire comprises two annular ridges which extend, respectively, the two sidewalls in the outer radial direction and which are connected to two opposite ends of the tread, the two annular ridges defining, respectively, two principal directions which intersect at an acute angle so that, when the pneumatic tire comes into contact with soil, by being subjected to a vertical load, the two annular ridges move closer together locally.
