Tire having a conductivity path
A tire includes a body ply sheet having a rubber core defined by a top surface having a length and a width, a bottom surface having substantially the same length and width, and side surfaces having a common height. The rubber core is further defined by a top rubber layer and a bottom rubber layer. The body ply sheet includes reinforcement cords disposed between the top rubber layer and the bottom rubber layer. The reinforcement cords are spaced 0.1-4.0 mm apart from each other and span the width of the body ply sheet. Bleeder cords are disposed on the body ply sheet and spaced 8-12 cm apart from each other. Conductive cords are also disposed on the body ply and spaced 20-80 cm apart from each other.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
Provided is a pneumatic tire in which the electrical resistance of the whole tire can be lowered even when the rolling resistance is further reduced by further improving a low loss of a case member of the tire. The pneumatic tire has, as its skeleton, a carcass (1) composed of at least one carcass ply, and includes: a tread rubber (13G) arranged on a tire radial-direction outer side of the carcass (1) in a crown portion; a conductive rubber portion (5) arranged in such a manner to penetrate through the tread rubber from a ground-contact region of a tire surface toward a tire radial-direction inner side; and a rubber chafer (3) arranged on a tire width-direction outer surface of each of the bead portions. In this pneumatic tire, a conductive member (6), which electrically connects from a tire radial-direction inner end of the conductive rubber portion to the rubber chafer, is arranged; the conductive member includes conductive fibers (7) at least in the vicinity of the tire radial-direction inner end of the conductive rubber portion and the vicinity of the rubber chafer; and the conductive member has a volume resistivity of 110.sup.8 .Math.cm or lower.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
Provided is a pneumatic tire in which the electrical resistance of the whole tire can be lowered even when the rolling resistance is further reduced by further improving the low loss property of a case member of the tire. The pneumatic tire includes: a pair of bead portions (11); a pair of side wall portions (12); and a tread portion (13), which extends between the pair of the side wall portions. In this pneumatic tire, a carcass (1) composed of at least one carcass ply toroidally extending between the pair of the bead portions is used as a skeleton, a side rubber (12G) is arranged on a tire width-direction outer surface of each of the side wall portions, and a rubber chafer (3) is arranged on a tire width-direction outer surface of each of the bead portions.

Pneumatic vehicle tire
A pneumatic vehicle tire has at least a tread with an outer tread cap with a profiled tread surface, an inner tread base and at least one electrically conductive conductivity strip. The conductivity strip extends in a radial direction from the tread base, through the tread cap, to the tread surface. The tire further includes an electrically non-conductive belt bandage arranged under the tread base and the belt bandage has a multiplicity of gaps, a multi-ply belt, a carcass and side walls. The gaps in the belt bandage are filled with an electrically conductive material.
PNEUMATIC TIRE
Provided is a pneumatic tire which prevents accumulation of static electricity during travelling, which inhibits the tire from rising in an electric resistance with the passage of time, and which is reduced in a rolling resistance of the tire and excellent in durability thereof. In the pneumatic tire described above, a conductive rubber is arranged for a ply coating rubber of one surface, and a non-conductive rubber is arranged for the ply coating rubber of the other surface; assuming that the respective thicknesses thereof are T1 and T2, a carcass ply has a ply in which T1/T2 satisfies 0.2T1/T20.9; and the conductive ply coating rubber is arranged at a tread side, and the non-conductive ply coating rubber is arranged at an inner liner side.
TIRE CORD FABRIC, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME, SHEET INCLUDING SAME, AND TIRE INCLUDING SHEET
The present disclosure relates to a tire cord fabric, a method of manufacturing the same, a sheet including the same, and a tire including the sheet, and the tire cord fabric includes a plurality of tire cords which are arranged in parallel to each other, a weft yarn which weaves the tire cords to conduct a weaving operation, and a conductive fiber which comes into contact with the surface of the tire cord and is extended in a longitudinal direction of the tire cord. The tire cord fabric can effectively discharge static electricity aggregated in a tire by mixing a tire cord with a conductive fiber, thereby weaving a mixture of the tire cord and the conductive fiber. Particularly, the tire cord fabric can secure an effective conductive passage since the conductive fiber is extended in a radial direction from bead parts to a tread part as in a carcass cord. Therefore, the tire cord fabric can simultaneously accomplish solving of a static electricity problem and obtaining of a fuel efficiency improving effect through low rolling resistance as a result by decreasing a demand associated with electrical conductivity of a rubber composition for sidewall and a rubber composition for topping, thereby enabling a rubber composition having a low loss modulus (E) for improving rolling resistance to be applied.
Pneumatic Tire and Pneumatic Tire Manufacturing Method
Provided is a pneumatic tire including a pair of bead portions; at least one carcass layer extending between the pair of bead portions; a belt layer disposed outward of the carcass layer in a tire radial direction; a tread rubber disposed outward of the belt layer in the tire radial direction; a pair of sidewall rubbers disposed outward of the carcass layer in a tire lateral direction; and an electrically conductive portion extending between the pair of bead portions and having at least one separation portion, the electrically conductive portion having a linear structure, the linear structure including an electrically conductive linear member formed in a linear shape by molding an electrically conductive material with an electrical resistivity of less than 110{circumflex over ()}8 /cm.
Electrically Conductive Crown Architecture for a Tire of a Heavy Duty Civil Engineering Vehicle
A radial tire (10), with the sidewalls thereof (20), and the tread thereof (30) arranged for minimizing the temperature of the tire while guaranteeing its electrical conductivity. The tread (30) comprises two wings (311, 312) and a central portion (32). These components rest on a base layer (33) radially on the inside of the tread (30). The base layer (33) contains a lateral portion (331, 332) partly in contact with a tread wing (311, 312). This structure of the crown of the tire, in contact with the carcass reinforcement makes it possible to constitute a preferential conductive pathway of the electric charges between the rim and the ground when the tire is mounted on its rim and flattened on the ground.
Tire having a conductivity path
A tire includes a pair of beads and a crown region including a circumferential tread disposed radially above a circumferential belt. The tire further includes a pair sidewalls extending from the pair of beads to the crown region. A body ply wraps around the pair of beads and terminates in a pair of turn up ends in the crown region, below the middle 30% of the circumferential belt. A conductive substance is disposed along a strip of the body ply.
Construction plant vehicle tire with low environmental footprint
The environmental footprint of a tire for a construction plant vehicle is improved. To do so, the elastomer compounds derived from non-fossil resources represent a mass content greater than or equal to 65% of the total mass of the compounds of the tire, at least 75% of the total mass of the compounds of the tire is made up of elastomer compounds each of which has a viscoelastic loss, measured in terms of tan(), less than or equal to 0.065, and an electrical resistivity greater than or equal to 1E+10 .Math.cm.
