DURABLE TIRES AND RELATED METHODS

A tire may include a bead portion, a carcass, an apex, a belt package, and three gum layers. The carcass may be anchored around the bead core of the bead portion and may comprise a carcass plies portion and a turnup portion. The apex may be located between the carcass plies portion and the turnup portion. The belt package may be arranged between the carcass and a tread. The gum layers may include (a) a sidewall gum layer that extends from a first end located at the apex along the carcass plies to a second end; (b) a wraparound gum layer that wraps around an end of a first inner zigzag belt structure of the belt package; and (c) a belt gum layer that extends from a first end located between the belt package and the carcass plies along the carcass plies to a second end.

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.

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 one or more reinforcement cords, the strip of one or more 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 zigzag strip of cords is formed from two different reinforcement cords made of different materials, and a low angle belt of the tire has a higher EPI than the zigzag belt.

20170036486 · 2017-02-09 ·

Airplane tire comprises working reinforcement (2) radially inside of tread (3) and radially outside of carcass reinforcement (4). working reinforcement (2) comprises working biply (21). The radially innermost working biply (21) has the greatest axial width (L.sub.T) and comprises two axial ends (E). Carcass reinforcement (4) comprises carcass layer (41). Distance (D) between axial end (E) of the radially innermost working biply (21) and its orthogonal projection (I) onto the radially outermost carcass layer (41) is at least equal to 8 mm. Distance (D) between point (F) of radially innermost working biply (21), axially inside of axial end (E) at a distance (L) equal to 25 mm, and its orthogonal projection (J) onto the radially outermost carcass layer (41) is at most equal to the distance (D) and is such that angle (A) equal to atan[(DD)/L] is at least equal to 12.
