Abstract:
An inner tube having a closed polymeric envelope with a primary surface comprising means allowing compression of the polymeric envelope when inflated under the normal conditions of use of the assembled unit. A radially outer part has a meridian curvature such that the ratio of the average radius of its meridian curvature to the radius of a circle of perimeter equal to the meridian perimeter of the primary surface of the polymeric envelope is greater than 2.5 and preferably greater than 10, when the inner tube is inflated to a pressure of 2000 pascals and the ratio of the average radius of the meridian curvature of the side parts to the radius of a circle of perimeter equal to the meridian perimeter of the primary surface of the polymeric envelope is greater than 2.5 and preferably greater than 10, when the inner tube is inflated to a pressure of 2000 pascals.

Abstract:
A tire comprising at least one carcass-type reinforcing structure formed of at least one layer of mutually parallel reinforcing elements making an angle, with the circumferential direction, of strictly less than 75° at least in the region of maximum axial width of the tire and of strictly less than 65° at least in the equatorial plane anchored on each side of the tire to a bead, each bead extending radially outwards in the form of a sidewall, the sidewalls radially towards the outside meeting a tread, and comprising, under the tread, a crown reinforcing structure consisting of at least one layer of reinforcing elements making angles of between 10° and 60° with the circumferential direction and known as a working layer, radially on the outside of the carcass-type reinforcing structure. In sidewalls, the tire comprises at least two axially adjacent carcass reinforcing layer portions, the reinforcing elements of the said carcass reinforcing layer portions being directed on each side of a meridian plane, at least in part of the sidewalls, and the reinforcing elements of at least one working layer crossing the reinforcing elements of the carcass-type reinforcing structure at an angle greater than 40°.
Abstract:
A tire for a motorized two-wheeled vehicle comprising a reinforcing structure of the carcass type, made up of reinforcing elements, anchored on each side of the tire to a bead the base of which is intended to be mounted on a rim seat, each bead being extended radially outward by a sidewall, the sidewalls radially toward the outside joining to a tread. At least the central part of the tread comprises at least one circumferentially continuous cut, the cut being made up, for at least 80% of its length of at least one incision and at most 20% of at least one part having a width greater than that of an incision and the apparent area of the at least one incision is greater than the apparent area of the at least one part having a width greater than that of an incision.
Abstract:
A motorized two-wheeled vehicle, comprising a radial carcass reinforcement formed of at least two layers of reinforcing elements, and comprising underneath the tread a crown reinforcement structure comprising of at least one layer of reinforcing elements. At least the tread surface comprises a first polymeric compound extending in at least the region of the equatorial plane and at least one second polymeric compound having physicochemical properties different from those of said first polymeric compound, the density of reinforcing elements in the radially inner carcass reinforcement layer being less than that in the radially outer carcass reinforcement layer.
Abstract:
A tire comprising at least one carcass-type reinforcing structure and comprising a crown reinforcing structure having at least one working layer. At least one working layer is radially on the inside of at least one carcass layer, in the sidewalls, the tire comprises at least two carcass reinforcing layer portions extending over a radial distance at least equal to 50% of the radial distance between an end of a shoulder and the radially inner end of the radially innermost circumferential reinforcing element, at least in the equatorial plane, the reinforcing elements of the carcass reinforcement make an angle less than 80°, and the reinforcing elements of the working layer cross with the reinforcing elements of the carcass-type reinforcing structure by an angle greater than 40°, when the tire comprises at least two working layers radially on the inside of at least one carcass layer, the reinforcing elements of the at least two working layers being crossed by an angle of at most 5° and when the tire comprises at least one working layer radially on the outside of the carcass-type reinforcing structure, the reinforcing elements of the at least one working layer crossing with the reinforcing elements of at least one working layer radially on the inside of at least one carcass layer by an angle of at least 30°.
