Abstract
An anti-roll off assembly. The assembly comprises a band, a plurality of compression-resistant well filler assemblies and a coupler assembly. The band is configured to extend substantially around a circumference of a well portion of a wheel. The compression-resistant well filler assemblies are coupled to the band and are configured to be positioned against the well portion to block off respective volumes along circumferential portions of the well portion. The coupler assembly is configured to increase a tension force of the band and comprises a first trunnion, a second trunnion and a threaded member. The first trunnion is in contact with the band and has a first threaded opening. The second trunnion is in contact with the band and has a second threaded opening. The threaded member comprises a first end threadedly engaged with the first threaded opening and a second end threadedly engaged with the second threaded opening.
