TIRE WITH NO BEAD TURNUP

A tire having no ply turnup is described. The tire includes a tread, a single layer of ply, a first triangular shaped bead and a second triangular shaped bead, wherein the radially inner end of the single layer of ply is secured between the first bead and the second bead.

TIRE WITH NO BEAD TURNUP

A tire having no ply turnup is described. The tire includes a tread, a single layer of ply, and a first triangular shaped bead, wherein the radially inner end of the single layer of ply is secured between the first bead and a second bead, wherein the second bead is formed by spirally winding a strip of reinforcements onto the radially inner end of the ply, wherein the strip is formed of two or more parallel reinforcements.

TIRE WITH NO BEAD TURNUP

A tire having no ply turnup is described, wherein the tire has a tread, a single layer of ply, a first column bead and a second column bead, wherein the radially inner end of the single layer of ply is secured between the first column bead and the second column bead.

Pneumatic tire and manufacturing method therefor

The present invention has an object of providing a pneumatic tire that exhibits better uniformity by improving the wire wound body for constituting the bead core. The pneumatic tire 1 comprises a bead core 5 comprising a wire wound body 10 in which one bead wire 10a is spirally wound in a continuous around a tire rotational axis CL so that a plurality of layers of the bead wire are formed in a radial direction of the tire. The wire wound body 10 comprises a first part 13 and a second part 14. The first part 13 comprises a plurality of layers of the bead wire 10a each circumferentially extending with a constant radius from the tire rotational axis CL. The second part comprises a plurality of layers of the bead wire 10a each circumferentially extending while changing its radius from the tire rotational axis CL.

A non-pneumatic tire includes beads, apexes, an inner liner, a cushion ply, a tread rubber, sidewall rubbers, and a first carcass ply; and further includes sidewall support layers and a crown support layer. The sidewall support layers are located at the locations of sidewalls and interposed between the inner liner and the first carcass ply. The crown support layer is located at the location of a crown, and interposed between the inner liner and the first carcass ply or between the first carcass ply and the cushion ply. Both ends of the crown support layer respectively extend toward the sidewalls and are partly overlapped with the sidewall support layers.

Tire having greater resistance to unseating

A tire comprises a bead having an axial width at the seat D comprising a circumferential reinforcing element (22) of which the radially innermost point (222) is at a radial distance Z and at an axial distance Y from the radially innermost point (211) of the bead, and such that Y/D is at least equal to 0.5 and Z/D is at most equal to 0.4. The end of the carcass reinforcement (311) is situated radially on the outside of the radially outermost point (223) of the circumferential reinforcing element. This same bead comprises at least one bead layer (23) surrounding the bead filler rubber (21) and such that its axially outermost end (231) is radially on the outside of the end (311) and such that its axially innermost end (232) is at least radially on the outside of the point (222).

Pneumatic tire

In the tire 2, fillers 10 are layered over clinches 8 in portions outward of a carcass 14 in the axial direction. A carcass ply 50 is turned up around cores 44. Turned-up portions 50a are disposed between the fillers 10 and apexes 46. Each clinch 8 has a maximum thickness Tcx that is measured along a line normal to an inner surface, in the axial direction, of the clinch 8.
