Abstract:
A tire includes two beads and a carcass reinforcement anchored in the beads. The carcass reinforcement has at least two circumferential alignments of first reinforcing threads. Each such circumferential alignment is, within each bead, bordered axially inwardly and outwardly by second circumferential reinforcing threads having an elasticity modulus at least equal to that of the first threads. The first and second threads are separated by a rubber mix of high elasticity modulus. The outer surface of each bead includes a seat which includes an arc-shaped wall section having a geometrical center arranged axially outwardly relative to the bead. Considering an imaginary straight line passing through both the center and the bead at an angle α=+45±5 degrees relative to the tire axis, all of the second threads are spaced from that axis by a radial distance no larger than the locus of the imaginary line.
Abstract:
An aircraft tire, the inflation pressure of which is greater than 12 bar, comprises a crown, two sidewalls and two beads, a carcass reinforcement anchored in the two beads and a crown reinforcement. The carcass reinforcement comprises at least two circumferential alignments of first reinforcing threads of high elasticity modulus. The means for anchoring the first reinforcing threads within each bead comprises second reinforcing threads oriented circumferentially and axially bordering the circumferential alignments of the first reinforcing threads, the first reinforcing threads and second reinforcing threads being separated by a layer of mix of very high elasticity modulus.

A tire comprising a crown, two sidewalls and two beads, a carcass reinforcement anchored in each of the beads and a crown reinforcement. The carcass reinforcement comprises at least two circumferential alignments of first reinforcing threads of high elasticity modulus, each circumferential alignment of the first reinforcing threads being, within each bead, bordered axially by second reinforcing threads oriented substantially circumferentially. The first reinforcing threads and the second reinforcing threads are separated by a layer of mix of very high elasticity modulus. The second reinforcements are arranged in a spiral and formed of monofilaments or unit threads of steel.

A tire comprising a crown, two sidewalls and two beads, a carcass reinforcement anchored in each of the beads and a crown reinforcement. The carcass reinforcement comprises at least two circumferential alignments of first reinforcing threads of high elasticity modulus, each circumferential alignment of the first reinforcing threads being, within each bead, bordered axially inwardly and axially outwardly by second reinforcing threads, oriented substantially circumferentially, of a modulus greater than or equal to that of the first reinforcing threads. The first reinforcing threads and second reinforcing threads are separated by a layer of mix of very high elasticity modulus. Considering ΣRI as being the total of the rigidities of extension of the second reinforcing threads arranged axially inwardly relative to the carcass reinforcement and considering ΣRE as being the total of the rigidities of extension of the second reinforcing threads arranged axially on either side of the carcass reinforcement, then: 0.6 ≤ Σ R I Σ R E ≤ 1.5
Abstract:
A tire wherein the reinforcing cords of the carcass, in the part situated between the anchoring zone of the carcass and the sidewall, are in contact with at least one layer of cushion compound having a high modulus of elasticity on the axially outer side and a low modulus of elasticity on the axially inner side and in the sidewall.

Abstract:
A tire having a crown, two sidewalls and two beads, a carcass casing anchd in the two beads and having cords worked back and forth next to each other aligned circumferentially with, in each bead, loops each connecting back and forth cord portions, and in each bead, carcass casing anchoring cords oriented circumferentially and axially bordering the circumferential rows of the back and forth arrangement of carcass casing cords, wherein the carcass casing consists of cords forming two or three circumferential rows separated, at least in the beads and the sidewalls, by a filler.
Abstract:
A tire having a crown, two sidewalls and two tire beads, a carcass reinforcement anchored in the two tire beads and a belt reinforcement, said belt reinforcement including at least two superposed reinforcement plies formed with cords parallel in each ply and criss-crossed from one ply to the other forming with the circumferential direction angles (&agr;, &bgr;) ranging between 10° and 55° and characterized in that the cords of at least one of the two reinforcing plies are successively in contact, on the same side of said ply, moving from the tire equatorial plane towards one of the reinforcing ply lateral ends with a rubber bonding layer having a first modulus of elasticity and then a rubber bonding layer of a second modulus of elasticity lower than the first.
Abstract:
Tire intended for winter travel, having a tread comprising relief elements provided with slits inclined with respect to the normal to the tread and which are close to each other and form strips between each other, is improved due to the fact that, when the tire is not under load, the slits are inclined with respect to said normal by an angle at most equal to 45.degree. in the direction of the tangential stresses on the tire exerted by the ground and due to the fact that these slits have a width which is other than zero.
