Abstract: A tyre for a vehicle wheel includes a carcass structure, belt structure, tread band, and at least one pair of sidewalls. The carcass structure includes at least one first carcass ply and at least two annular reinforcing structures. The at least one first carcass ply includes elongated sections circumferentially distributed around the tyre's geometric rotation axis. Each elongated section extends in a U-shaped configuration around a cross-section outline of the carcass structure to define two side portions and one crown portion. Each elongated section substantially lies in a plane parallelly offset relative to a meridian plane of the carcass structure. The crown portion of each elongated section is oriented, relative to a radial reference plane passing through a transition region between the crown portion and at least one corresponding side portion, at an angle having a different value from an inclination of the at least one corresponding side portion.

Abstract: A method of making pneumatic tyres for vehicle wheels in which during building of the tyre on a toroidal support at least one step of a partial vulcanisation is introduced, the step enabling the overall production time to be reduced by lowering the overall time of the final moulding and vulcanisation step, while maintaining the features of the bead and the carcass ply/plies linked thereto as stated in the design specifications. More particularly, by building at least one carcass structure on the toroidal support and submitting the latter to a first vulcanisation step while exerting a pressure from the outside to the inside of the structure itself, an at least partly vulcanised carcass structure is obtained that is stable in its geometry and suitable for completing the tyre building. Subsequently, a second vulcanisation step accompanied by moulding of the tread band and the sidewalls allows a finished tyre in a more reduced overall period of time to be obtained.

Abstract: A method for moulding and curing a tyre for a vehicle wheel includes building a tyre on a toroidal support, placing the tyre carried by the toroidal support into a moulding cavity, pressing an outer surface of the tyre against walls of the moulding cavity using a working fluid under pressure, and heating the working fluid.

The walls of the moulding cavity conform in shape to an outer surface of the tyre when vulcanization is completed. The working fluid flows in at least one diffusion gap between the toroidal support and the tyre. The working fluid in contact with the tyre has a critical temperature lower than a vulcanization temperature and the working fluid is submitted to circulation. An apparatus for moulding and curing a tyre for a vehicle wheel is also disclosed.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing elastomeric components of a tire for a vehicle wheel includes feeding a continuous elongated element from a delivery member by exerting a feeding pressure inside the delivery member, rotating a building support around a geometrical rotation axis of the support, carrying out controlled relative displacements between the delivery member and the support to form a tire component, stopping the feeding of the elongated element when formation of the tire component is complete, and exerting a counter-pressure inside the delivery member after stopping the feeding. Rotating the support assists circumferential distribution of the elongated element on the support. Carrying out controlled relative displacements assists transverse distribution of the elongated element on the support. The tire component is defined by a plurality of coils laid in a pre-established deposition pattern depending on a predetermined cross-section outline to be given to the tire component.
