Abstract:
A process for producing a tread for a tire with a radially inner layer composed of a first rubber material and with a radially outer second layer composed of a second rubber material and forming the ground-contact surface of the pneumatic tire. The first rubber material has higher electrical conductivity than the second rubber material, and where, in a form of a web axially dividing the second layer around the periphery of the tire, the first rubber material extends radially outwards through the second layer as far as the ground-contact surface. A ply of the first and second layers are constructed radially one on the other, on a rotationally symmetric construction surface, on one of the two axial sides of the web to be produced.
Abstract:
A vehicle wheel for pneumatic tires. The rim of the wheel has radially inwardly extending rim flanges, and adjacent thereto, along the inner periphery, has seats inclined in cross section for a belted tire, and adjacent thereto, has recessed portions. The recessed portions adjoining the seats extend at least partially inclined in cross section. The angle of inclination of the recessed portions with respect to the axial direction is equal to or greater than the corresponding inclination angle of the seats. The recessed portions, in the axial direction, have a dimension which is equal to or greater than that of the axial segments of the seats.
Abstract:
A bead core for a pneumatic vehicle tire that is designed to have its beads disposed on the radially inner periphery of a rim. The bead core is in the form of an endless ring that has an essentially round cross-sectional shape. To increase the bead-seating reliability, it is proposed that the inner core of the bead core be hollow or be formed by a lightweight ring that serves as a spacer element. At least one layer of load-carrying cords is disposed about the inner core. These load-carrying cords have a solid cross-sectional area or a hollow cross-sectional shape.
Abstract:
An apparatus for mounting pneumatic vehicle tires, the beads of which, in the mounted state, are disposed on the radially inner periphery of a wheel rim. The apparatus permits simple and rapid mounting of a tire. A mounting unit which, after the introduction of a portion of the tire bead in a recessed portion of the rim, fixes the bead portion. A drivable roller, which in operation engages in the bead region of the tire, has a circumferential speed which is greater than the rolling speed on the tire.

Abstract:
Rim for a vehicle tire with an emergency surface, vehicle tire with tubeless pneumatic tire and emergency surface, and process of forming emergency surface. The rim includes a radially outer surface and an emergency running support surface formed on the radially outer surface. The emergency running support surface includes an annular layer of at least one of rubber, rubber-like material, and plastic. The annular layer is vulcanized onto the radially outer surface. The vehicle wheel includes a tubeless pneumatic tire, at least one rim comprising a radially outer surface, and an emergency running support surface formed on the radially outer surface. The emergency running support surface includes an annular layer of at least one of rubber, rubber-like material, and plastic. The annular layer is vulcanized onto a the radially outer surface. The process includes forming an annular layer on a load-bearing structure of the rim, in which the annular layer comprises one of rubber, rubber-like material, and plastic, and vulcanizing the annular layer on the load-bearing structure.
Abstract:
A combination of a pneumatic tire and a vehicle wheel. The wheel has a rigid rim provided with essentially radially inwardly extending rim flanges. The radially outer side of the rim has emergency operation support surfaces, and the radially inner side of the rim is provided with respective recessed mounting portions for the beads of the tire, which is made of rubber or rubber-like synthetic material and has a carcass that is anchored in the beads by being looped about pull and compression-resistant bead cores thereof. The beads are disposed on rim seating surfaces provided on the radially inner side of the rim next to the rim flanges. The height of the rim flanges and the configuration of the tire beads are coordinated with one another in such a way that when the tire is uninflated and not subjected to load, there is provided between a rim flange and an adjacent inner wall of the tire, at the level of the radially innermost point of the rim flange, a gap of 0.5 to 3 mm.
Abstract:
A method of producing a pneumatic vehicle tire, the beads of which can be mounted on the radially inner periphery of a rim, and are pivotably relative to the bead cores. A carcass along with the adjacent rubber layers, and the tire beads, with their pull and compression resistant cores, are combined on a drum to form an essentially cylindrical blank. What will later be the insides of the tire initially face radially outwardly, and the interfaces of the initially radially outwardly extending beads form an essentially right angle with the cylindrical surface of the blank. At least the bead regions of the tire blank are preliminarily vulcanized, whereupon the blank is turned in and has imparted thereto a toroidal shape. The blank is then provided with a tread strip, and is final-vulcanized.
Abstract:
A rim for a pneumatic vehicle tire, the beads of which are adapted to be mounted on the radially inner periphery of the rim. The rim has a rim ring that is provided radially inwardly with seating surfaces for the tire beads. On the lateral edges, the rim ring has essentially radially inwardly extending rim flanges. Furthermore, the rim ring is provided radially outwardly with support surfaces for emergency operation when a puncture, flat tire, etc. is encountered. In order to increase the ability to operate with a flat tire, the wall of the rim ring, in the vicinity of each of the rim flanges, is bent radially outwardly, and is then bent back axially inwardly at a radial spacing relative to the remainder of the rim ring, so that two annular supports are formed for supporting a flat tire.
Abstract:
A tread configuration for pneumatic vehicle tires, especially for spare tires. A number of recesses are arranged in succession and next to each other in the circumferential direction of the tire. Transverse ribs and substantially circumferential ribs separate the recesses from one another and have a width which is approximately 1/4 to 3/4 of the circumferential dimension of the recesses. The radially outwardly located peripheral surface of the tire is subdivided into several segments. Within each of the segments, the circumferential dimension of the recesses and of the transverse ribs is constant, and the circumferential dimension of the recesses and of the transverse ribs is different in successive segments. The recesses are of such a cross-sectional shape or outline that at least one boundary line thereof is formed by an edge of a transverse rib. At least some of the circumferential ribs extend at an angle to the circumferential direction of the tire.
