142 PNEUMATIC TIRE, TIRE MOLDING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MOLDING US12090272 2006-10-13 US20090229723A1 2009-09-17 Yuichiro Ogawa
A pneumatic tire having a portion formed by laminating a rubber ribbon exhibits improved durability due to reduced propagation of cracks from the surface of the laminated portion of the rubber ribbon at a sidewall, for example.A pneumatic tire includes a laminated portion (40) formed by winding and laminating a rubber ribbon (50), and a surface layer (41) formed by bonding a rubber sheet on the outer surface of the laminated portion (40) at, for example, a sidewall (31). The surface layer (41) covers projections, recessions, and portions of adhesion failure on the laminated portion (40), and smoothes the surface of the tire, thus preventing cracking from propagating from the surface of the tire by tensile forces (P) and compressive forces (Q) during flexure.

155 Pneumatic tire for motor vehicles US10090003 2002-03-05 US20020139462A1 2002-10-03 Katja Hanebuth; Markus Metz; Frank Jenne; Tanja Wackerhage; Thomas Sych
A pneumatic tire for motor vehicles has a running surface profile designed in the direction of rotation, with two shoulder regions (S1, S2) each being a constituent of a row of shoulder blocks, and with a middle region (C) separated from them by circumferential grooves (2) running in the circumferential direction; this middle region encompasses the width of the circumferential grooves (2) and covers a minimum width of 60% of the width of the running surface (B), is free from circumferential grooves running in the circumferential direction and is equipped with a number of V-shaped running rills (1), which open into the circumferential grooves (2) and whose V-peaks rest at least essentially on the equator line (M-M). In the two partial regions of the middle region (C) running to the side of the equator line (M-M) there are a number of slanting grooves (4) which are oriented in the same direction to the course of the V-shaped rills (1), crossing at least three V-shaped rills (1) following each other in the circumferential direction and being at least essentially of a straight design, wherein these slanting grooves (4) run at an incline at a much smaller angle (null, nullnull) to the equator line (M-M) than the V-shaped rills (1) and which are the widest of all grooves or rills of the profile, wherein the slanting grooves (4) of the one partial region of the middle region (C) are offset in the circumferential direction with respect to those of the other partial region.
156 Elastomeric tire having magnetized sidewall and method of manufacturing same US09347757 1999-07-06 US06308758B1 2001-10-30 A. Yuecel Cetin; James M. Giustino
The present invention provides a tire with a sidewall having a magnetized outer layer. The sidewall outer layer is peripherally divided into sections with radially extending ribs between each adjacent pair of sections. The ribs protrude above the sections. In the peripheral direction, the ribs are significantly narrower than the sections. The sections are magnetized in a peripheral direction, but with alternating polarity. The ribs close the circles of magnetic flux by allowing lines of magnetic flux to enter and exit the sidewall outer layer after moving through the surrounding air and the magnetized sections, respectively. The ribs focus the location of the entry and exit of the lines of magnetic flux into and out of the sidewall outer layer. This focused entry and exit is achieved by the accumulation of magnetized material in the ribs which causes the lines of magnetic flux moving through the ribs to point in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the tire sidewall. As a result of this focused entry and exit, sharp edges between the areas of opposite polarization are achieved which enables the precise measurement of the peripheral locations of the lines of magnetic flux. By enabling such a precise measurement, the present invention provides for a more accurate determination of information relating to the dynamic behavior of the tire.
157 Pneumatic tire having an outer layer of veneer covering the sidewall US09376134 1999-08-17 US06223796B1 2001-05-01 Arthur Webster Magee; Teddy Ben Cowling

158 Hydrous clay slurry mixture containing a silane-treated clay US09466883 1999-12-20 US06197105B1 2001-03-06 Gary M. Freeman; Carl J. Marshall, Jr.; Walter O. Lackey; Masao Onizawa
An effective production method for silane-treated clays having exceptional reinforcing effects with respect to rubber, and compositions using these silane-treated clays are offered. With the silane-treated clay production method, a functional silane is predispersed or emulsified in water by means of a surfactant in order to mix the functional silane with kaolin clay and thereby uniformly surface-treat the kaolin clay with the functional silane. The surfactant should preferably be a non-ionic surfactant with an HLB value in the range of 8-18. The silane-treated clay formed by surface-treating kaolin clay by means of these functional silanes characteristically contains low residual levels of the non-ionic surfactants. The functional silanes can be either vinyl or sulfur functional silanes. The silane treated clays are useful as fillers or extenders in rubber compositions, particularly those employing silicas and/or carbon blacks.
