Tire with an element attached to the surface thereof and method for attaching an element to the surface of a tire
A tire comprises an interior surface and an exterior surface, an accommodating region arranged on one of said interior and exterior surfaces, an adhesive layer arranged on the accommodating region and a member attached to the accommodating region by the adhesive layer, in which the adhesive layer is based on a silanized polyether.
Device for securing an electronic member to a tire casing
A device (10) for securing an electronic component to a wall of a tire comprises a base (11) that is able to be secured to the wall of a tire and a retaining wall (12), connected to the base (11). The interior surfaces (14, 15) of these elements define a volume (13) able to accommodate the electronic member (100). The base (11) has an opening (18) via which the electronic member is introduced so that when the base (11) is secured to the wall of the tire, the opening (18) is closed by the wall of the tire. The securing device (10) is such that the retaining wall (12) is able to be torn in order to form a fault that allows the electronic member to be extracted and inserted, and such that the retaining wall (12) has a retaining device (19) for a clamping system (20) for clamping the retaining wall (12).
RFID mesh label, tire having RFID mesh label integrally incorporated therein, and methods of making
An RFID mesh label configured to be integrally incorporated within a vulcanized tire and to further provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire during and/or post-vulcanization, the RFID mesh label including a face layer configured to be positioned adjacent or flush to an outer surface of the vulcanized tire; an RFID layer positioned underneath the face layer, the RFID layer having an RFID device that is configured to provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire upon being read with an RFID reader; and a mesh backing overlying the RFID layer and adapted to be integrally incorporated in a vulcanized tire after subjecting a green tire to a vulcanization process.
Attachment mechanism for tire-mounted sensors
An assembly for mounting an electronics package to a tire includes an electronics package, a mount with a peripheral flange, and an attachment patch. The electronics package is connected to the mount, which is in contact with the tire. The attachment patch is connected to the mount and includes a central opening that it smaller than the peripheral flange. The attachment patch is further affixed to the tire.
RFID MESH LABEL, TIRE HAVING RFID MESH LABEL INTEGRALLY INCORPORATED THEREIN, AND METHODS OF MAKING
An RFID mesh label configured to be integrally incorporated within a vulcanized tire and to further provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire during and/or post-vulcanization, the RFID mesh label including a face layer configured to be positioned adjacent or flush to an outer surface of the vulcanized tire; an RFID layer positioned underneath the face layer, the RFID layer having an RFID device that is configured to provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire upon being read with an RFID reader; and a mesh backing overlying the RFID layer and adapted to be integrally incorporated in a vulcanized tire after subjecting a green tire to a vulcanization process.
Container structure for attaching sensors to tires and method of manufacturing tire container structure
Provided is a container structure for attaching sensors to tires and, more particularly, to a container structure for attaching sensors to tires, the container structure being able to prevent sensors attached to tires from being damaged by intense heat. The container structure can include: a bottom container that is attached to the inner liner of a tire; a top container that extends from the top of the bottom container and has an insertion space in which a sensor can be inserted; and a channel part that is formed on the inner side of the top container, in which the channel part is provided such that air can cool the sensor by flowing inside and outside with the sensor inserted in the top container.
MANUFACTURING METHOD OF TIRE HAVING SENSOR CONTAINER AND TIRE MANUFACTURED BY THE SAME
A method for manufacturing a tire having a sensor container and a tire manufactured by the manufacturing method, and more particularly, a method for manufacturing a tire having a sensor container for preventing the sensor container from falling off during high-speed driving, and a tire manufactured by the manufacturing method are proposed. The method for manufacturing a tire having a sensor container, includes the steps of a) curing a container unit; b) forming a dummy by filling an inside of the cured container unit with a dummy material in which urethane and a curing agent are mixed; c) attaching the container unit including the dummy formed by curing to a tire; d) curing the tire to which the container unit is attached; e) removing the dummy included in the container unit attached to the cured tire; and f) mounting a sensor at a position where the dummy is removed.
Tire sensor installation structure and manufacturing method thereof
The disclosed technology generally relates to an installation structure for installing a sensor module, and more particularly relates to an installation structure for installing a sensor module on a tire, and to a method of manufacturing the installation structure. In one aspect, the installation structure includes a sensor module housing configured to accommodate a sensor module and at least one sensor patch each comprising a bonding portion configured to attach to an inner side of a tire and a pressing portion configured to place and maintain the sensor module housing in contact with an installation position on the inner side of the tire. The pressing portion is configured to apply a downward pressure on a top portion of the sensor module housing by elastically extending and contracting.
Tire electronics securing structures
A tire and securing element assembly includes a tire inflated at a first pressure and a securing element. The securing element is an inflatable hoop inflated at a second pressure at least 10% greater than the first pressure. The securing element abuts an inner surface of the tire across 30-90% of a tread width. The securing element has a cross sectional area between about 0.4 and 47.0 cm.sup.2.
ASSEMBLY FOR AN INNER TUBE
An assembly (100) for an inner tube (110) for a tire or of an inner tube (110) for a tire, includes a base film (101, 201), which is forming a part of the inner tube (110) or configured to be attached to the inner tube (110). The assembly (100) includes a ring (102), which is inserted into a hole through the base film (101, 201), the ring (102) having internal threads of a fasten mechanism. The assembly (100) has a plug (103), which is removably insertable in the ring (102), the plug (103) including external threads of the fasten mechanism, a first end having a first surface (103a) adapted to face outwards a cavity of the inner tube when inflated, and a second end having a second surface (103b) adapted to face inwards the cavity of the inner tube and adapted for attaching a module (104) having an electronic device.
