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.

A non-pneumatic tire (100) is disclosed having an outer tread ring (200) and a shear band (300, 800). The shear band (300, 800) includes a three-dimensional spacer structure (400, 802) comprising a first and second layer of fabric (460, 470). The first and second layer of fabric (460, 470) are connected to a respective first and second layer (610, 620) of non-crimped fabric (700, 810).
摘要:
A rubber composition containing a filler comprising 100 parts by weight of at least one rubber containing olefinic unsaturation, 1 to 250 phr of a filler, and 0.05 to 5.0 phr of zinc oxide particles having a diameter of less than 20 nanometers. This composition can be used to form a component of a tire, especially a tread of a tire.

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.

摘要:
A process for the production of at least a part of a non-pneumatic tire structure is disclosed, the non-pneumatic tire structure (1) comprising a radially inner band (7), a radially outer band (9) surrounding the inner band (7) and a spoke part (5) comprising a plurality of spokes (11) extending between the inner band (7) and the outer band (9). The process comprises providing a first plastic composition in the form of a filament (29) comprising a continuous fiber coated with a first thermoplastic resin; and forming one or more selected from at least one spoke (11) of the plurality of spokes, the inner band (7) and the outer band (9) of the non-pneumatic tire structure (1) by 3D printing, wherein forming includes depositing one or more layers of the first plastic composition.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a non-pneumatic tire (1) comprising a hub portion (2) and a ring member (3) arranged essentially concentrically about the hub portion (2), wherein the ring member (3) comprises a tread portion (5) on its radially outer side. Moreover, the tire comprises a sidewall (7) connecting the hub portion (2) with the ring member (3), wherein the sidewall (7) comprises multiple sidewall members (6), each sidewall member (6) being connected on a first side to the hub portion (2) and on a second side to the ring member (3). Adjacent sidewall members (6) overlap at least partially in a manner whereby they can move relatively to each other under tire loading conditions, such as when the tire is mounted on a vehicle.
