摘要:
A pneumatic tire having spaced beads and a pair of biased inner plies tied to each bead, upon which is placed a third ply disposed at a greater angle to the equatorial plane than the underlying bias plies, resulting in the outermost ply cords being "loose" in comparison to the innermost ply cords being "tight" after the tire shaping operation. The cords of the outermost ply assume a shorter effective length along with an increase in their twist (tpi) in the inflated shaped vulcanized tire than the length and twist as laid down on the building drum. A further proviso is that the cords of the third ply shall be at some degree of compression greater than as laid down on the building machine, with said compression being the maximum attainable by the cords as a consequence of the bias cords pantographing during the shaping of the tire. This building block of two plies of cords at higher tension combined with a ply of cord at lower tension results in a new and unusual tire of unexpected structure and performance characteristics.

In a process of manufacturing a tire for vehicle wheels, an annular crown reinforcement is placed around the carcass of the tire. As the crown reinforcement there is used at least one elastically deformable annular net formed of two superimposed plies of wires at least the outside of which wires is formed of an elastic and weldable material. At the points of intersection these wires are welded to each other. The wires may also be in the form of a cable, metallic or otherwise, enclosed in a sheath of an elastic and weldable material.
摘要:
A puncture-sealing pneumatic tubeless tire comprising a sealant as its innermost layer and a tack layer disposed between said sealant and the air impervious liner. The tack layer is integral with the tire and allows the application and adherence of the sealant to the tire without first cleaning the inside of the tire. The tack layer is a soft, vulcanized layer consisting of cis-polyisoprene rubber and/or natural rubber.

A non-vulcanized tire body in the form of an endless band has opposite edges, an inner surface, and an outer surface having a tread. Either a completely enclosed toroidal shaped inner tube formed of non-vulcanized material or a layer of non-vulcanized material having a high impermeability to air is positioned on the inner surface of the tire body. The tire body is then wrapped around the inner tube, and the opposite edges of the tire body are joined to form a completely enclosed tire. The edges may be abutted or overlapped. Thereafter, the tire is vulcanized to form a completely and irremovably enclosed tubular tire.

A radial tire having a belt structure consisting of a pair of belt plies reinforced with parallel cords. A single ply is disposed between the carcass plies of the tire and the belt structure. This single ply or carcass overlay is reinforced with parallel cords which extend circumferentially of the tire. Further, the reinforcement cords of the carcass overlay are inextensible when the tire is molded and vulcanized, but elongatable in correlated relation to the blow-up ratio of the tire from a cylindrical to a toroidal shape.

A method of building tires on an apparatus employing a pair of tire building drum assemblies constructed and arranged to alternately move respective drums between a common first position and separate second positions is disclosed. The method comprises the following: (1) fabricating untreated carcasses on said drums at said common first position; (2) moving alternate drums and alternate of said common first position to one of said separate second positions and the remaining ones of said drums and of said untreated carcasses fabricated on said drums at said common first position to the other of said separate second positions; (3) removing said untreated carcasses alternately from said pair of drum assemblies at said separate second positions; and (4) applying treads to said untreated carcasses after removal of said untreated carcasses from said drum assemblies.
摘要:
An axially and radially adjustable construction drum for pneumatic tires in which the drum has a variable width and is radially extensible and comprises two basic members, the relative distance between which is adjustable on an internal tube through a spindle and a screwthreaded sleeve with screw thread portions in opposite directions, in which the basic members support ring segments whose external surfaces form approximately cylindrical working surfaces and which are radially adjustable through bellows and on which is situated a resilient bandage with inflatable members disposed therebelow for holding over the edges of plies and between which is retained a middle portion which is radially extensible in the longitudinal direction of the drum.
摘要:
An integral tire and rim assembly in which the tire is built and cured on the rim. The tire is a closed torus crown over-lap type having a pair of annular inextensible beads. The rim is an annular and axially continuous unitary rigid member with flanges that extend radially outwardly beyond the minimum diameter of the inextensible bead cores. A run-flat device is included in the tire cavity.

This invention is concerned with a process of and an apparatus for producing green tires, in which a green case shaped on a tire band building drum is transferred onto a tire building drum by a transfer ring mechanism and an inextensible endless belt built on a belt building drum is also transferred and applied onto the green case, deformed into a toroidal form on the tire building drum, by the transfer ring mechanism. The transfer ring mechanism serves to hold and release the green case and the endless belt and has such a construction to be movable along the axes of the tire band building drum, the tire building drum and the belt building drum.
摘要:
A tire building drum is adapted to be expansible and collapsible at three different diameter states and includes a main tire building drum, a pair of auxiliary tire building drums partially engageable with the radially inner surfaces of the opposite end portions of the main tire building drum to axially be slidable toward and away from the equatorial plane of the main tire building drum, a rotary shaft carrying thereon the main and auxiliary tire building drums for rotation thereof, and a pair of slide means for axially sliding the auxiliary tire building drums toward and away from the equatorial plane of the main tire building drum.
