    摘要: A shear band (10) is disclosed comprising an annular first, radially outer fabric layer (21) and an annular second, radially inner fabric layer (22). The shear band (10) is formed from a single shear band strip helically wound circumferentially and axially with a first edge of the shear band strip, the first edge of the shear band strip having a first extension flap (310) for engaging an opposite second edge of the shear band strip. The first extension flap (310) is continuously secured to the opposite second edge linearly along the second opposite edge of the shear band strip. Further, a tire comprising such a shear band (10) is disclosed. Finally, a method for constructing a plurality of shear bands (10) is disclosed, the method including the steps of: helically winding a single shear band strip about itself to produce a cylindrical structure; securing a first edge of the single shear band strip to a second opposite edge of the single shear band strip by a first extension flap (310) extending from the first edge of the single shear band strip; and axially and circumferentially cutting the cylindrical structure in multiple locations.

    摘要: A reinforced rubber spoke (18) for a non-pneumatic tire (10) is disclosed. The reinforced rubber spoke (18) comprises a radially outer end (20) for connecting the spoke (18) to a shearband (22), a radially inner end (22) for connecting the spoke (18) to a hub (17) and a web (24) extending between the radially inner end and the radially outer end, the web (24) comprising therein reinforcement cord (32) serpentining between the radially inner end and the radially outer end. Also, a non-pneumatic tire (10) is disclosed having an annular tread (20) for contacting ground, a shearband (22) supporting the tread (20) and a connecting structure (16) for connecting the shearband (22) to a wheel hub (17). The connecting structure (16) comprises a plurality of a reinforced rubber spokes (18) as specified above.
