Specially conceived for vehicles which have to be displaced over
ferromagnetic surfaces, like the iron or steel walls of large tanks for
example, it is incorporated by the combination of a hollow rim (1 1') and
a tyre (4) of an elastomer or similar material, which define a
cylindrical chamber (8) inside which a magnetic annulus (9) runs,
materialized in a permanent magnet of adequate strength, with the
particularity that said magnetic annulus (9) has a substantially smaller
diameter than that of the cited chamber (8), so that it is capable of
carrying out a planetary motion inside the same, maintaining a
permanently tangential condition with the tyre (4) at the point in which
the latter is in contact at all times with the ferromagnetic surface over
which the vehicle is displaced, achieving maximum adherence at said
point. In this way it is managed to improve the grip of the wheel on said
surface, overcome possible obstacles of the same, lighten the wheel and
increase safety through not requiring an electricity supply.
