Claims
- 1. A rim assembly for a pneumatic tire carcass comprising:
- a first annular rim portion defining a plurality of angled slots;
- a second annular rim portion;
- a plurality of posts fixed to the second rim portion, and corresponding to the angled slots and positionable so that each post is disposed in a slot, the slots being angled so that rotation between the first and second rim portions in one direction draws the post disposed in the slots more deeply into the slots and draws the first and second rim portions together;
- some of the angled slots being angled at variance with the remaining angled slots so that the initial drawing together of the first and second rim portions takes place at a rate slower than subsequent drawing together of the first and second rim portions upon relative rotation thereof.
