摘要： A pneumatic tire is adapted for combination with an internally situated device, such as an emergency support member. The tire has at least one specially constructed bead portion which includes a conventional bead core or member and an additional bead member spaced axially inwardly therefrom. In the space between the two bead members is formed an anchoring channel contoured to tightly receive an anchoring means provided on the device to be situated internally of the tire.

摘要： A method and apparatus whereby tire mold is closed to within approximately one inch of full closure with a green tire in place therein for molding, and the mold is then evacuated employing a vacuum conduit prior to full mold closure whereby air within the mold cavity is evacuated and the necessity for vent holes in the mold is eliminated. A mold for practice in the invention is free of vent holes in the thread, sidewall, and bead portions of the mold and includes, along the parting line, at least one vacuum conduit whereby the mold cavity may be evacuated to not more than 16932 Pa within not more than about 60 seconds employing a source of vacuum. Seals are provided radially outward of the vacuum conduit along the parting line, and, where necessary, adjacent any moveable bead ring associated with the tire mold. Seals are preferably of a type wherein a differential between pressures experienced by one seal surface and obverse seal surface cause a more effective sealing arrangement. Tires emerging from the mold in accordance with the processes of this invention are free of rubber projections associated with cured rubber entering into vent holes associated with ordinary tire molds.

摘要： A tire molding system includes a mold having a surface defining a cavity for receiving and shaping an uncured tire. The uncured tire is pressed against the surface defining the cavity. Fluid is evacuated from between the uncured tire and the surface defining the cavity. A recess extends from the cavity for forming a marking on the sidewall of the tire. A passage fluidly communicates the recess with the exterior of the mold. The passage includes a first end portion adjacent the recess and a second end portion adjacent the exterior of the mold. The second end portion extends for a distance less than one-half of the total length of the passage. A restrictor is located entirely within the second end portion of the passage for restricting fluid flow through the passage during the evacuation of fluid and before the recess is sealed off from the cavity by the uncured tire when the uncured tire is pressed against the surface defining the cavity.

摘要： In a tire mold having a pair of mold parts separable about cooperating surfaces of the respective mold parts which define a parting line region, each of the mold parts includes a surface defining at least a portion of a cavity for shaping a tire. The tire mold further includes a plurality of pockets for defining a respective plurality of circumferentially arranged tread elements in the tire. The improvement comprises a vacuum source in fluid communication with the cavity of the tire mold for evacuating fluid from the cavity in the tire mold through a space located between the surfaces of the mold parts which define the parting line region. A vent fluidly connects a pair of adjacent pockets. A passage associated with one of the mold parts provides fluid communication between the vacuum source and one of the pair of adjacent pockets connected by the vent.

摘要： A split tire mold having a tread ring in which provision is made for venting air circumferentially across the inner surface of the tread ring so that the air escapes from the parting line of the mold halves, dispenses with widely used, conventional, radially protruding vent stubs. The air is vented through "butterfly-shaped" or "double-wedge-shaped" arch-vents which provide passage for trapped air above each tread block of the tread as it is moved against the inner surface of the tread ring. The shape of the arch-vent passages and the angulation of the wedges is critical to the effectiveness of the arch-vent which forms an arch-vent bridge of cured rubber in a cured tire. The configuration of the bridge allows as cured tire to be easily removed from the mold cavity without leaving a broken-off piece of the rubber bridge to plug the arch-vents. This arch-vent design leaves unobtrusive flat-sided, narrow wedge-shaped pieces of rubber as the arch-vent stubs, tapered in two directions. The arch-vent stubs, when viewed in the radial direction towards the center of the tire, are so unobtrusive as to be cosmetically acceptable in a finished tire. The upper surface of the arch-vent is close to the inner surface of the tread ring and essentially horizontal, while the lower surface of each arch-vent is inclined at an angle in the range from 30.degree.-50.degree. to the horizontal plane, but in opposite directions. An angle in this range provides surprising strength in the base area of the arch-vent stub so that, upon stripping the tire from the mold, the arch-vent bridge of cured rubber breaks cleanly and reliably at the narrowest and weakest point in the bridge.

摘要翻译： 一种具有胎圈环的分割轮胎模具，其中设置有用于沿胎面环的内表面周向排气的空气，使得空气从半模的分型线逸出，省去了广泛使用的常规的径向突出的出气口 。 空气通过“蝴蝶形”或“双楔形”拱形通风孔排放，当胎面相对于胎面环的内表面移动时，它们在胎面的每个胎面花纹块之上提供通道。 拱形通道的形状和楔形的角度对于在固化轮胎中形成固化橡胶拱形桥的拱形孔的有效性是至关重要的。 桥的构造允许作为硫化轮胎容易地从模腔中移除而不留下橡胶桥的断裂片来堵塞拱形孔。 这种拱形设计留下不引人注意的扁平，狭窄的楔形橡胶片作为拱形出口桩，在两个方向上逐渐变细。 当从径向朝向轮胎的中心观察时，拱形出口短柱是非常不引人注目的，在成品轮胎中在化妆品上是可接受的。 拱形孔的上表面靠近胎面环的内表面并且基本上是水平的，而每个拱形孔的下表面以与水平面成30°-50°的角度倾斜， 但在相反的方向。 该范围内的角度在拱形基座的基部区域提供令人惊奇的强度，使得在从模具剥离轮胎时，固化橡胶的拱形桥在桥的最窄和最弱点处清洁可靠地断裂 。

摘要： A vehicular pneumatic tire which, except for bead cores, is composed solely of an elastomeric blend strengthened by molecular orientation. The blend is a monoolefin copolymer rubber with a polyolefin and sufficient curing agents to effect vulcanization when the blend is subjected to heat and pressure. The process for making the tire comprises preforming an annulus of the elastomeric blend with bead cores adjacent the edges, the diameter of the preform being essentially that of the bead diameter of the completed tire and the axial distance between the beads less than the transverse arcuate dimension of the completed tire. The preform is cured and while still hot following curing, is stretched and shaped to final size and the generally toroidal form characteristic of conventional pneumatic tires with resulting biaxial molecular orientation, which orientation is retained in the tire by cooling it below the melting point of the polyolefin before removing the tire from the mold.
