Abstract:
A tire configured from joining together plural tire frame members formed from a thermoplastic material in which sufficient strength of the joint portion is secured. Two tire halves 17A formed from a first thermoplastic material are supported by a tire supporting section 40 so as to be aligned with each other and abutting, while rotating this configuration melted welding thermoplastic material 43 is extruded from a nozzle 46 towards the joining location, and the welding thermoplastic material 43 is pressed by a flattening roller 48. The one tire half 17A and the other tire half 17A are thereby welded together with the welding thermoplastic material 43. Since the tire halves 17A themselves are not melted, deterioration of the thermoplastic material forming the tire halves 17A is suppressed, and sufficient strength of the joint portion is secured.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a tire having four treads distributed equidistantly on the external part of the body or carcass, which allow the tire to be deflated and rotated in order for a new tread to be placed in contact with the ground when the current tread has been subjected to heavy wear, without the tire having to be replaced. The invention is advantageous for the tire owner since with just a small increase in outlay the owner is guaranteed a tire that will last longer and that can be used for an increased number of kilometers of cycling.
Abstract:
Pneumatic tire 1 for an agricultural machine, having an axis of revolution XX and comprising a tread 7, a sole 11 situated opposite the tread 7, and two sidewalls 13, 15 connecting the tread 7 to the sole 11. The tread 7, the sole 11 and the two sidewalls 13, 15 together form a casing 17 defining a chamber 19 inside the pneumatic tire 1. At least one of the sidewalls 13, 15 comprises, in this order and in succession in a direction oriented radially from the axis of revolution XX to the outside, a proximal portion 131, an intermediate portion 133 and a distal portion 135. In the unloaded state, the intermediate portion 133 projects into the chamber 19 in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of revolution XX.
