ABSTRACT:
A flexible elastic ring having a generally rectangular cross section with radially inner and outer surfaces. A plurality of rigid members are molded in the ring at circumferentially spaced-apart positions and each of the rigid members extends diagonally from an edge at the radially inner surface to an edge at the radially outer surface of the elastic ring. The ring is mounted in a wheel well of the tire rim with the tire bead overlapping the edge at the radially outer surface to hold down the ring and the ends of the rigid members in that edge. The other ends of the rigid members are located in the edge at the radially inner surface of the ring adjacent a radially extending side surface of the ring for resisting deflection of the side surface which abuts a radially extending surface of the wheel well. The rigid members prevent the ring from rotating out of the wheel well in this manner when the ring is subject to centrifugal force during rotation of the wheel on which the rim is mounted.
