A process for applying particles to the inner wall of a tire comprising two sidewalls, a crown provided radially externally with a tread, a carcass-type reinforcing structure and at least one crown reinforcement, the inner surface of the sidewalls and of the crown forming an inner wall, at least one portion of said inner wall being covered with at least one layer of self-sealing composition. The particles are applied after the curing of the tire.

Arrangements related to carbon flocked tape are described. The flocked tape can include a first adhesive, a substrate, a second adhesive, and a plurality of fibers. The substrate can be formed from any suitable metal, polymer, and/or natural material. The fibers can be formed from milled recycled carbon fibers. The carbon fibers can be connected within the tape via an electrostatic flocking process. The flocked tape can allow for application, removal, and re-application. The carbon flocked tape can provide several benefits, such as electric and/or thermal conductivity, noise and vibration reduction, insulation and shielding, and altered fluid dynamics.

The invention covers both the sole structure and its related production equipment and technology, especially in relation to a type of flocked shoe sole. Compared with the existing technology, the shoe sole can trap and retain fiber particles via electrostatic or electrostatic spraying, which is not only anti-slippery also with elegant looking and reduce the cost. This set of equipment for making flocked sole is highly automatic, easy to operate, save the labor and reduce the production cost. The production procedure consists of 1) applying prime coating; 2) applying adhesive; 3) natural flock retention or electrostatic flocking; 4) electrostatic separation, cleaning, pairing and packaging. The whole process has been shortened dramatically, simplify the procedure, and reduce the cost. Also the solvent and adhesive used are both environmental friendly, harmless, which helps increase the productivity and yield.

Disclosed are a swab flocking device and a flock blowing and flocking process for a swab. A conveying drag chain transversely penetrates through a flocking box, several swab hangers are arranged on the conveying drag chain at intervals, and the conveying drag chain is connected to a first motor. Several blowers are arranged on an outer side of the conveying drag chain in the flocking box. During flocking, a swab stick is hung on the swab hanger and then is conveyed forwards by the conveying drag chain, and several blowers are configured to blow flocks onto an end head of the swab stick.
