Abstract:
A method for controlling the discharge of fluids during a process for vulcanization and molding of a green tire (2) comprises the steps of : building at least one portion of a radially internal surface (10) of a green tire (2) by winding of a continuous elongated element (9) of elastomeric material into a plurality of coils (9a) confining circumferential grooves (11) along the rolling direction of the tire; disposing the circumferential grooves (11) into fluid communication with discharge channels present in the radially external surface (18) of a pressing bladder (16) disposed in a radially internal cavity (12) bounded by the green tire (2).
Abstract:
The characteristic of the present invention is a pneumatic tire comprising a plurality of radial protrusions 60 each extending in a tire radial direction on a tire surface 31 and having a shape protruding from the tire surface outward in a tire width direction, wherein the plurality of radial protrusions 60 are provided radially with a tire rotation axis S as a center, the plurality of radial protrusions 60 each have an outer end portion 62 being an end portion located on an outer side in the tire radial direction, and the outer end portion 62 is provided to the tire surface in a tire maximum width portion (a maximum width portion T) in the tire width direction.
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire having a tread portion (11), sidewall portions (12) and means (16) for preventing water droplets from being thrown during travelling on a wet road surface, the prevention means (16) being provided on an outer surface (12a) of a sidewall portion (12), having a plurality of projection pieces (17) extending in a circumferential direction of the tire, and being circularly arranged on the outer surface of the sidewall portion. The projection pieces are intermittently circularly arranged in at least two rows and placed with offset to each other in the circumferential direction of the tire in such a manner that there is no space between projection pieces of adjacent rows when viewed in the radial direction of the tire. One row of projection pieces is near the tread surface, the other row is remote from the tread surface. The projection pieces of the one row and of the other row each have a tire circumferential length, measured on the outer surface of the sidewall portion, of L1 and L2 respectively, L2 being less than L1.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a tyre (1) having a tread (4), flanges (3) extending from the edges of the tread and, on at least one of said flanges, a rib (5) for modifying the trajectory of water projections in case of rolling on a wet ground, said rib (5) further including a force reducing device (6) provided on the outer wall of the rib in order to reduce the force of the water projections in a transverse direction during rolling on a water-covered ground, said force reducing device (6) including at least one protrusion (600) arranged in the circumferential direction and extending in the radial direction.
Abstract:
The aspect of the present invention is a pneumatic tire comprising a plurality of radial protrusions 60 each extending in a tire radial direction on a tire surface 31 and having a shape protruding from the tire surface outward in a tire width direction, wherein the plurality of radial protrusions 60 are provided radially with a tire rotation axis as a center, the plurality of radial protrusions 60 each have a low protrusion portion 63 and a high protrusion portion 64, and a height of the low protrusion portion measured in the tire width direction hs is lower than a maximum height of the high protrusion portion h measured in the tire width direction.
Abstract:
Pneumatic tire including a rim protector (20) positioned on an outside in an axial direction of a sidewall, wherein the rim protector (20) includes a main portion (34), an outer portion (36) and an inner portion (38); the main portion (34) has a large number of blocks (44) arranged in a circumferential direction; the main portion (34) further has a first slit (46), a second slit (48) and a large number of third slits (50), wherein the first slit (46) is extended in the circumferential direction, the second slit (48) is extended in the circumferential direction, each of the third slits (50) is extended in a radial direction, and the third slit (50) reaches the second slit (48) from the first slit (46); each of the blocks (44) is surrounded by the first slit (46), the second slit (48) and two of the third slits (50).
Abstract:
The present invention includes a run-flat tire 1 comprising a plurality of turbulence generation ridges 20 which extend on a surface of a tire side portion 3 in a tire-radial direction and which are arranged at a pitch in a tire-circumferential direction and relationship Si > So is satisfied. Si is the sum of sidewall areas of all the turbulence generation ridges located at the inner side, in the tire-radial direction, of a maximum width position of the pneumatic tire. So is the sum of sidewall areas of all the turbulence generation ridges located at the outer side, in the tire-radial direction, of the tire maximum width position.
