20090044893 | Pneumatic Tire - The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire comprising at least one component, the at least one component comprising a rubber composition contacting one or more reinforcing polyester cords, the polyester cords comprising an RFL adhesive disposed on the surface of the polyester cords, the RFL adhesive comprising from 1 to 20 weight percent of a presilanized silica. | 02-19-2009 |
20090277554 | HIGH TWIST POLYESTER CARCASS PLY FOR A PNEUMATIC TIRE - A pneumatic radial runflat tire includes a pair of parallel annular beads, a carcass ply structure, a belt reinforcement structure, a tread, and a pair of sidewalls. The carcass ply structure comprises a polyester fabric with a cord construction of 2200 dtex/2 8.5/8.5 tpi with a cord density of between 16 and 28 epi. The belt reinforcement structure is disposed radially outward of the carcass ply structure in a crown area of the tire. The tread is disposed radially outward of the belt reinforcement structure. The pair of sidewalls comprise part of the carcass ply structure. The pair of sidewalls is disposed between the tread and the pair of parallel annular beads. | 11-12-2009 |
20100018626 | PNEUMATIC TIRE WITH A POLYKETONE CHIPPER AND/OR FLIPPER - A pneumatic tire includes an axis of rotation, a carcass, a tread, and a belt structure. The carcass has at least one reinforced ply and a reinforcing structure for absorbing shear strain. The tread is disposed radially outward of the carcass. The belt structure is disposed radially between the carcass and the tread. The reinforcing structure of the carcass comprises a fabric of cords. Each cord has at least one strand of twisted polyketone yarn. The twisted polyketone yarn has a linear density from 1570 dtex to 1770 dtex and a twist level from 3 TPI to 9 TPI. The cords have a twist level from 3 TPI to 9 TPI and a twist direction opposite to a twist direction of the polyketone yarns. | 01-28-2010 |
20100065178 | CARCASS PLY FOR A PNEUMATIC TIRE - A pneumatic tire includes a carcass reinforced by a carcass ply, at least one belt ply disposed radially outward of the carcass ply in a crown portion of the pneumatic tire, and at least one insert located adjacent the carcass ply in a sidewall portion of the carcass. The insert provides support for the tire load to enable the pneumatic tire to operate under extreme conditions. The carcass ply comprises at least one composite cord having a first core yarn with a second outer yarn and an outer metallic filament both wrapped around the first core yarn such that the first core yarn has a modulus less than a combined modulus of the second outer yarn and the outer metallic filament. | 03-18-2010 |
20100065179 | PNEUMATIC TIRE WITH A LENO WEAVE FLIPPER OR CHIPPER - A pneumatic tire includes an axis of rotation, a carcass, a tread, and a belt structure. The carcass has at least one reinforced ply and a reinforcing structure providing a buffer for absorbing shear strain. The tread is disposed radially outward of the carcass. The belt structure is disposed radially between the carcass and the tread. The reinforcing structure comprises at least one layer of an open construction LENO weave fabric having warp yarns extending in the radial direction and weft yarns extending in the circumferential direction. | 03-18-2010 |
20120085476 | PNEUMATIC TIRE WITH A WOVEN OR KNITTED BEAD REINFORCEMENT - A pneumatic tire has an axis of rotation. The pneumatic tire includes a carcass having at least one reinforced ply and a reinforcing structure proximal to a bead region of the pneumatic tire, a tread disposed radially outward of the carcass, and a belt structure disposed radially between the carcass and the tread. The reinforcing structure includes at least one layer of an open construction woven or knitted fabric having warp yarns extending in a circumferential direction and weft yarns of the carcass ply extending in a radial direction. | 04-12-2012 |
20120085477 | PNEUMATIC TIRE WITH A WOVEN OR KNITTED REINFORCEMENT - A pneumatic tire has an axis of rotation. The pneumatic tire includes a reinforced ply placed in a predetermined location on a toroidal surface, a tread disposed radially outward of the reinforced ply, and a belt structure disposed radially between the reinforced ply and the tread. The reinforced ply includes at least one layer of an open construction woven or knitted fabric having warp yarns extending in a circumferential direction and weft yarns extending in a radial direction. | 04-12-2012 |
