Tire Including A Knitted Fabric
A tire that comprises a knit (44) comprising: columns (C1, C2, C3, C4) of loops (B), the loops (B) of one and the same column (C1, C2, C3, C4) being arranged one after the other substantially in an overall direction (X1) referred to as the main direction; and rows (R1, R2, R3, R4) of loops, the loops (B) of one and the same row (R1, R2, R3, R4) being arranged one beside the other substantially in an overall direction (Z1) referred to as the transverse direction.
The knit (44) has, in the main overall direction (X1) and/or the transverse overall direction (Z1), a force at 100% elongation greater than or equal to 250 N, the force at 100% elongation being determined from a force-elongation curve obtained by applying standard ISO 13934-1:2013 to the knit (44) embedded in a standard elastomer matrix.
Assembly for a tire comprising a three-dimensional fabric or knit and a securing element
An assembly (1) comprises: a first structure (10) formed by first filamentary elements (15), a second structure (12) formed by second filamentary elements (16), a supporting structure (14) comprising supporting filamentary elements linking the first filamentary elements (15) and the second filamentary elements (16), and at least one filamentary securing element (18) interlaced with the first filamentary elements (15) and the second filamentary elements (16), one of the ends (18a, 18b) of the securing element (18) being free to slip relative to the first and second filamentary elements (15, 16).
