TIRE
Technology for suppressing, in tire including spiral cord and auxiliary belt layers, occurrence of separation between spiral cord and auxiliary belt layers. Tire includes: carcass toroidally extending between pair of bead portions; spiral cord layer arranged on outer side in tire radial direction of crown portion of carcass and wherein upper and lower layers formed by spirally winding reinforcing cord; and auxiliary belt layer arranged on outer side in tire radial direction of spiral cord layer. Inclination direction of belt cords of auxiliary belt layer and inclination direction of reinforcing cord of upper layer of spiral cord layer are same when angle of belt cords of auxiliary belt layer with respect to tire circumferential direction is 54.7<<90, and these inclination directions are different when angle of belt cords of auxiliary belt layer with respect to tire circumferential direction is 0<<54.7.
Aircraft pneumatic tire
A first belt cord made of organic fibers of a spirally wound belt layer extends at an angle of equal to or less than 5 relative to a tire equatorial plane, a second belt cord made of organic fibers of a zigzag belt layer extends at an inclination of an angle of 2 to 45 relative to the tire equatorial plane, to folding back points where the second belt cord is folded back at each width directional end edge of the zigzag belt layer, and a relation of N.sub.95>N.sub.50 is satisfied. N.sub.50 is the number of stacked belt layers of the spirally wound belt layers, at 50% of half the length of a maximum belt width of belt layers from the tire equatorial plane. N.sub.95 is the number of stacked belt layers of the spirally wound belt layers, at 95% of half the length of the maximum belt.
REDUCED WEIGHT AIRCRAFT TIRE
A pneumatic tire having a carcass and a belt reinforcing structure, the belt reinforcing structure comprising: a zigzag belt reinforcing structure formed of a strip of reinforcement cords, the strip of reinforcement cords being inclined at 5 to 30 degrees relative to the centerplane of the tire extending in alternation to turnaround points at each lateral edge, wherein the strip of cords is formed from two different cords made of different materials.
INFLATABLE TUBELESS TIRE
An inflatable tubeless tire includes a carcass, a bead at the lower edge of both sides of the carcass; a cladding layer, continuously covering the bead from the exterior to the interior of the carcass, and both ends of the cladding layer having an overlapped portion between each carcass and a tread and continuously extending to form an external covered portion for covering an area from the outer surface to the bead, and the portion of both sides of the cladding layer covering the interior of the carcass being an internal covered portion, and the uncovered position in the carcass being an elastic portion, and each inner surface in the carcass and the cladding layer jointly forming a gas chamber; at least a separator, partially disposed on a wall surface of the gas chamber for isolating each elastic portion and the inner surface without sticking to one another of the carcass; an air valve module, passing between each opening and the through hole, and having a film fixed to the elastic portion; and an extending part, passing through each film, the cladding layer and the separator; a screw, with an end screwed into the extending part; and the screw having an air valve part therein.
Aircraft tire with specified zigzag working reinforcement
The working reinforcement (2) of an aircraft tire is made by the zigzag winding of a strip (5) having width W, with a periodic curve (7), corresponding to the mid-line of the strip, forming, with the circumferential direction (XX), a non-zero angle A. The circumferential distance (c) between the extrema (S.sub.51, S.sub.52, S.sub.53) of the respective mid-lines of two consecutive strip portions (51, 52, 53) is equal to the ratio W/sin A. For any set of three consecutive strip portions (51, 52, 53), made up of a first, a second and a third portion, the respective mid-lines of the first and third strip portions (51, 53) intersect at an intersection point (I), axially aligned with the extremum (S.sub.52) of the mid-line of the second strip portion (52) and axially on the inside of said extremum (S.sub.52) at an axial distance (a) at least equal to the width W.

Aircraft Tire Crown Reinforcement
Crown reinforcement of an aircraft tire with improved mechanical strength in order to increase the burst pressure of the tire, during a standard pressure test. An aircraft tire comprises a working reinforcement made up of a strip (5) wound continuously in a zigzag, from a starting end (51) to an ending end (52), in a circumferential direction (XX) of the tire, along a periodic curve (7) forming a non-zero angle A with the circumferential direction (XX) of the tire and in an equatorial plane (XZ) of the tire. The starting end (51) and the ending end (52) of the strip (5) are positioned axially at a distance (DI, DF) at most equal to 0.25 times the axial width W.sub.T of the working reinforcement from an axial end (E1, E2) of the working reinforcement.
AIRCRAFT RADIAL TIRE
A pneumatic tire may include: a carcass; a belt reinforcing structure comprising a plurality of belt layers that include at least one spiral belt layer and at least one zigzag belt layer; and a tread comprising two or more main grooves extending circumferentially continuously around the pneumatic tire and defining a plurality of ribs that include two axially outermost ribs. At 10% to 100% of rated pressure and no load, each of the two axially outermost ribs may be raised (e.g., by a gap of 1 mm to 7 mm) in relation to a respective next nearest rib located axially inward of the respective axially outermost rib.
