Abstract: A process for manufacturing a track formed from a circumferentially continuous belt made of elastomeric material and including an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface is provided with a plurality of drive blocks uniformly arranged on the circumference. The process includes a step in which a cylindrical inner mold formed by first and second cylindrical die-halves is assembled, the two die-halves being movable relative to each other in an axial direction to come into contact with each other at a joint surface. The inner mold includes a radially external laying surface provided with a plurality of uniformly spaced cavities for molding the drive blocks, each cavity being delimited in the axial direction by respective side walls of the first and second die halves. The joint surface of the two die-halves is axially closer to one side wall than to the other side wall. A device for stripping the track from the inner and outer molds is provided.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of measuring the wear on at least one tire (20) mounted on a wheel (10) and comprising tread pattern elements (27, 28), and a tire (20), wheel (10), and a tire/wheel assembly (1) for implementing this method. According to the invention, the wear measurement method includes detecting electromagnetic energy transmitted through a transmission element disposed in at least one tire tread element to an internal space of the tire, the energy detected representative of a wear condition of the tread element or elements (27, 28). A tire (20) according to the invention comprises at least one device for transmitting electromagnetic radiation (50, 60), which device is disposed in at least one of tread element (27, 28) to conduct incident radiation striking the external surface to the tire (20) to the internal space, the transmission devices (50, 60) becoming exposed to the external surface upon a predetermined amount of wear of the tread element (27, 28).

Abstract: A process for cross-linking/expanding at least one cross-linkable, expandable blank, which is intended to form all or part of an elastomeric safety support for a tire in which: the cross-linking consists of curing the expandable or expanded blank in a bath of fluid at excess pressure which is contained in an enclosure, such that the blank interacts with the bath independently of the enclosure, the temperature of the bath having a maximum value of between 110° C. and 210° C. and the absolute pressure of said bath having at least a value equal to or greater than 14 bar, and the expansion consists of curing the cross-linkable or cross-linked blank in the bath, the temperature of the bath having a maximum value of between 110° C. and 210° C., and the absolute pressure of the bath having at least a value equal to or greater than 5 bar and a final pressure-relief value substantially equal to 1 bar, for expanding the blank such that its increase in volume is unlimited with respect to the enclosure.

Abstract: Mold for molding a tread that comprises a running surface, lateral faces and at least one axial cavity opening onto at least one lateral face. The cavity is molded with the aid of a pin which, during molding, produces two rubber mix flows that envelop the pin and reunite to form a junction surface, such that the mean length of the trace of this junction surface in a section plane perpendicular to the mold face that molds the running surface and to the axial direction, is larger than the minimum distance between the cavity and the mold face that molds the running surface.
