摘要:
An improved bicycle tire which can be folded for storage and transportation while maintaining the same running properties as a conventional tire. A plurality of bead cores made of a cord tensile member embedded in the bead section of the tire are provided by winding three to five turns of a cord tensile member having a low elongation ratio and high strength and which has been twisted one to two turns/10 cm in such a manner that the start and finish ends of the bead core overlap one another by 60 to 150 mm. The bead core preferably has a cut elongation of 5% or less and the strength of 300 kg/core.

A tire-bead structure for a tubeless tire, especially for trucks and other heavy vehicles, having a steep-shoulder felly on the wheel which can be inclined outwardly at an angle of about 15.degree. to the horizontal, comprises a bead core made up of a plurality of concentric turns of steel band or strip in nesting relationship and bent in an outwardly concave pattern so that at least an axially inward portion of each turn or strip lies at an angle to a radially outward portion thereof.

An apex is cohered to the bead wire bundle or core to form a unitary bead assembly. The core is supported on a rigid continuous planar surface. The apex strip in endless form is supported on the uninflated inflatable cylindrical surface of a turn-up bladder arrangement. Inflation of the bladder arrangement turns or rolls the apex angularly outward to surround the bead core and into an appropriate radial orientation and shape. The bladder action is found to cohere the apex-core so strongly together that conventional roller stitching is not required.

To apply an annular strip of elastic material to a tire bead in the process of production of an automobile tire, the strip is initially prepared in a generally cylindrical form having an axis aligned with an axis of the bead in a generally circular form and is thereafter deformed into a generally annular form having an inner peripheral edge in close contact with the outer peripheral edge of the bead so that the annular strip is securely joined to the tire bead by reason of an internal stress produced in the deformed strip.
摘要:
A machine for crimping tire bead rings in which an inner die member has grooves for holding the bead rings in the area of the bead splices and an upper die member engages the outer surface of the bead rings in that area. The die members are compressed with sufficient force for a sufficient period of time so that the strands of the bead rings are held together by the insulating material around the strands in the area of the bead splices. The side portions of the grooves control the spreading of the bead rings and may be flared to compress and then release the bead rings. The grooves of the inner die member may have movable inserts for ejecting the bead rings. The upper die member may also include grooves in mating engagement with the grooves of the inner die member for enclosing the outer portions of the bead rings at the splice area and provide for release of the bead rings after crimping.

A method and an apparatus employing a formed guide shoe assembly controls the placement of successive convolutions of elastomer-coated wire on a bead-winding drum. The guide shoe assembly is not rotatable but accommodates the softly coated wire slidably along an extended curvilinear groove to initial contact with the winding drum or with preceding convolutions of coated wire thereon. A convergent channel in the assembly ensures safe smooth approach to the curvilinear groove. The foregoing abstract is not to be taken as limiting the invention of this application, and in order to understand the full nature and extent of the technical disclosure of this application, reference must be made to the accompanying drawing and the following detailed description.

An annular wedge suitable for use in a tire bead assembly preparation apparatus. The annular, resilient, flexible, compressible wedge has a generally T-shaped axial cross-section with an outer head portion, an inner trunk portion and an inner-connecting throat portion with a generally triangular cross-section therebetween, and a continuous reinforcing annular textile fabric strip integral with said head, throat and trunk portions, said wedge being of a continuous structure having a core of especially prepared microcellular polyurethane and an outer densified relatively smooth skin.
摘要:
A method of producing an annular bead core assembly for a pneumatic tire from a plurality of wires of substantially rectangular cross-section, wherein the wires are formed into a plurality of plies. The wires of each wire ply then are arcuately deformed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the desired plane of the annular assembly when made but in a direction which will be towards the inner side of the tire when completed, each arcuate deformation yielding an arc having a constant radius. The arcuately deformed wire plies thereafter are wound on a tapered support to form the assembly.
摘要:
In a machine for manufacturing a tyre bead wire or bead strip comprising a rotatable, circular former provided with a peripheral recess, the former is divided into two parts capable of being moved relative to one another in the direction of the axis of rotation of the former, each of these parts comprising a part of the wall of said peripheral recess. Preferably, when the two parts are separated a clear axial gap exists between the parts so that a completed bead wire or strip can drop from the former between the two separated parts.
