Abstract: A composite cord is provided which is simple in manufacture, highly productive, less costly, and improved in rubber penetration. The composite cord has a 1×n construction (n is an integer from 3 to 12) with 2 to 11 metallic filaments and 1 to 5 polymer fibers having a melting point of 50 to 200 degrees twisted together. The pneumatic tire employing this composite cord for its reinforcing element is restricted in rust formation and improved in strength retention.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a carcass structure for vehicle tires includes preparing strip sections, each comprising longitudinal and parallel thread elements coated at least partly with at least one layer of raw elastomer material. A first series of strip sections is laid down onto a toroidal support. First primary portions of annular reinforcing structures are applied against end flaps of the first series strip sections. At least one second series of strip sections is laid down onto the toroidal support. Together, the first and second series define a first carcass ply. A third series of strip sections is laid down onto the toroidal support. Second primary portions of the annular reinforcing structures are applied against end flaps of the third series strip sections. At least one fourth series of strip sections is laid down onto the toroidal support. Together, the third and fourth series define a second carcass ply.

Abstract: The tire has a single layer of cushion compound between the cords of the carcass reinforcement that are furthest radially outward in the crown and the cords of the belting that are furthest radially inward in the crown. The single layer of cushion compound may have either a high modulus of elasticity of between 7 and 25 MPa for high crown rigidity or a low modulus of elasticity of less that 6 MPa for reduced hysteresis energy loss.

Abstract: The tire (70) of the invention incorporates a carcass ply cord material (93) with variable modulus of elasticity to provide an active sidewall structure (82a, 82b). The variable modulus cord material is incorporated in the axially outwardmost ply (90) of a carcass (80) having two plies (88, 90) separated by elastomeric inserts (89a, 89b) in the sidewalls (82a, 82b). The outer ply cord material (93) provides an increased modulus of elasticity with an increase in elongation. The inner ply cords (91) have a modulus that substantially exceeds that of the outer ply cords (93) under normal loads in the inflated mode. Thus, the inner ply (88) dominates the structural response of the sidewalls (82a, 82b) at normal loads in the inflated mode. Under severe sidewall deflection, such as when the tire is uninflated, the outer ply cord (93) is elongated, increasing its modulus of elasticity and thus, shifting the load from the axially inwardmost ply (88) to the axially outwardmost ply (90).

Abstract translation: 本发明的轮胎（70）包括具有可变弹性模量的胎体帘布层帘线材料（93），以提供活性侧壁结构（82a，82b）。 可变模量帘线材料结合在具有由侧壁（82a，82b）中的弹性体插入件（89a，89b）分开的两层（88,90）的胎体（80）的轴向最外层（90）中。 外层帘线材料（93）随着伸长率的增加而提供增加的弹性模量。 在充气模式的正常负载下，内层帘线（91）的模量基本上超过外帘布帘线（93）的模量。 因此，在充气模式中，正常负载下，内层（88）支配侧壁（82a，82b）的结构响应。 在严重的侧壁偏转下，例如当轮胎未膨胀时，外帘线（93）是细长的，增加其弹性模量，因此将负载从轴向最内层（88）移动到轴向最外层（90） 。

Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes a body having a plurality of main body cords. The tire includes an upper section above the maximum section width and a lower section below the maximum section width. The modulus of the body cords is configured to be larger in the lower section than in the upper section. This modulus ratio decreases the rolling resistance of the tire. The increased modulus in the lower section is achieved by providing intermediate body cords disposed between the main body cords. In another embodiment, the increased modulus is achieved by changing the material and/or size of the cords in the lower section.
