An adapter for a rolling assembly having an axis of rotation (YY') includes an axially inner end connected to a rim, an axially outer end including an outer reinforcing element and intended to come into contact, via a substantially radial axially inner face, or bearing face, with a bead, a body connecting the axially outer end to the axially inner end so as to form a single piece, including at least one main reinforcement providing the connection between the outer reinforcing element and the inner reinforcing element, and including a substantially axial adapter seat intended to come into contact with a bead. The outer reinforcing element () is completely axially on the outside of the bearing face (), and the outer reinforcing element () is a substantially annular structure, referred to as a bead wire, of substantially polygonal section, including at least two first layers of composite and/or metallic material, and at least two second layers of rubber compound, the first and second layers being arranged mutually parallel and in alternation with each other and parallel to the axis YY&#x2032;.

A motorized hub for electric powering of an axle of a hybrid drive automotive vehicle, said motorized hub comprising a hub designed to receive a wheel, the hub being mounted rotationally relative to a hub carrier about a hub axis, the motorized hub comprising an electric drive motor, the electric motor comprising an external stator connected to the hub carrier and an internal rotor whose axis of rotation is remote from the hub axis, the motorized hub comprising reduction means acting between the rotor of the electric motor and the hub, the motorized hub comprising coupling/uncoupling means capable of adopting a coupling position in which rotation of the electric motor is coupled to the rotation of the hub and an uncoupling position in which rotation of the electric motor is uncoupled from the rotation of the hub, the motorized hub being characterized in that the coupling/decoupling means are arranged between the reduction means and the hub.

Motorized hub including coupling and uncoupling means

A machine for presenting a tire with the axis horizontal, allowing access to the inside of the tire, which has a frame bearing an upright on which a support for the tire is mounted for vertical translation, the support ensuring on its own the holding and rotation of the tire about its axis by being in contact with the latter solely via a toric section of the tire, this section being arranged substantially vertically when the tire is installed on the machine.
