A thin gauge, fine diameter steel cord reinforced tire ply fabric 2 is lap spliced. The steel cord 1 has one or more filaments 9, and each filament has a percent elongation of over 2.5% and tensile strength of at least (-2000D+4400 MPa).times.95%, where D is the diameter of the filament in millimeters. For passenger and lightly loaded trucks the fabric 2 is manufactured using a preferred cord 1 which is a 1+5.times.0.18 mm cord spaced 14 ends per inch, and for heavier loaded vehicles such as light trucks load rated E or greater the number of cords 1 is increased to 28 ends per inch. The fabric 2 has a gauge thickness g in the range of the cord diameter C+0.22 mm to C+1.25 mm.
摘要:
A method for applying a plurality of reinforcement belts upon a toroidal tire carcass (50). First and second reinforcement belts (56, 60) are first wrapped around the tire carcass. Then a first belt assembly (68) of a third reinforced belt (69) with elastomeric wedges (72a, 72b) embedded into side edges (70a, 70b) of the third belt is wrapped around the second belt (60) so that the side edges (62a, 62b) of the second belt are spaced from the side edges (70a, 70b) of the third belt. An outer belt (74) and a tread (80) are applied about the third belt, and the tire carcass is ready to be cured in a tire mold.

A preformed strip (20) of unvulcanized rubber having a plurality of strand receiving grooves (22) for splicing the ends (11, 12) of steel cord or strand reinforced rubber conveyor belts (10) is disclosed along with a method of forming the spliced joint.
摘要:
This invention pertains to a method and for cutting an intermediate article of manufacture, the intermediate article of manufacture being a cord reinforced elastomeric laminate. The laminate, when cut to length, becoming a carcass for a pneumatic tire. The laminate is cut by a cutting element at angles .theta. greater than 60.degree. relative to a normal plane (NP) perpendicular to a cord reinforced ply of the laminate and parallel to the cords to thereby create large substantially flat planar splice surfaces without significant deformation or precuring of the unvulcanized elastomeric materials. To facilitate this cut, the relative position of the cutting element and the ply is changed to an angle .beta., .beta. being less than .theta.. The ply is cut a short distance, at the angle .beta., to position the cutting element between two parallel cords. Then the cutting element is reoriented to the angle .theta. to complete the cut.

摘要:
A laminate composite structure is provided in continuous lengths or rolls for making an unvulcanized carcass for a radial ply pneumatic tire as an intermediate article of manufacture. The laminate has a ply and a plurality of elastomeric components hot formed and attached directly to the ply. Each component has a predetermined cross-sectional profile. The elastomeric components including, but not limited to, a liner, a sidewall, and a chafer. Additional other elastomeric components for the carcass can be formed and attached to the laminate structure. The laminate forms an intermediate article of manufacture that at a later stage of tire building can be cut to length and spliced along common ends to form a cylindrical carcass structure.
摘要:
A method for securing splices in uncured rubber articles prior to vulcanization and secured splices resulting therefrom. The method includes covering a splice and two ends of uncured rubber with syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene, adhering the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene to the uncured rubber adjacent to the splice, and curing the rubber. The rubber compound to which the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene is adhered does not have to contain syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene. In addition, because the syndiotactic 1,2-polybutadiene is preferably melted into the rubber compound, there are no uniformity problems caused by the additional layer over the splice.
