Definitions

  • the invention relates to tire casings, in particular to tires with a radial carcass and a reinforced crown and it has more specifically the object of improving the construction of these tires with a view to giving them better endurance and better road behavior.
  • the beads of the tires each comprise at least one inextensible bead surmounted by a hard rubber profile generally having a triangular section, the carcass ply or plies being folded around this bead / profile assembly.
  • the main function of the filling profile is to achieve a gradual transition in stiffness between the very rigid lower part of the bead and the flexible and thin part of the sidewall. This transition can be measured depending on whether it is desired to accentuate such or such a property of the tire, either for example the property of comfort, or the properties of behavior and handling. This can be achieved by choosing a greater or lesser hardness and height for the filling profile. However, these means are limited by manufacturing requirements and the risks of altering other properties of the tire.
  • Hard rubber filling profiles and great height are favorable to road behavior (course stability, quick responses to changes of direction) but they have poor endurance to flexions repeated vertical flanks so that observes tire failures by rupture of the profiles and carcass plies a little above the rim flanges.
  • Low-profile filling profiles give tires with better tire endurance but with worse road handling.
  • This defect can be corrected by introducing additional reinforcing elements such as "flippers" (strips of fabric folded around the rod-profile assembly), reinforcing strips applied to the folded edges of the carcass or transition gums extending the profile towards the side. But these palliatives increase the number of elements to be assembled, the manufacturing cost and the risk of poor workmanship.
  • the tire illustrated by way of example in FIG. 1 is a "Tourist” tire. It comprises a radial carcass 10 consisting of a ply or several superimposed plies of rubberized fabric without frame or light frame, made of flexible textile or metallic cords oriented along the meridian planes of the tire. The edges 11 of this carcass are folded each, from the inside to the outside, around the assembly formed by the rod 12 and the filling profile 14 surmounting this rod. These folded edges 11 are covered by the rim gums 13 in a rubbery mixture resistant to abrasion in contact with the rims of the rim.
  • the top of the carcass 10 is hooped by a reinforcement belt 16, circumferentially inextensible, constituted for example by one or more plies of rubberized fabric of textile or metallic cords.
  • This belt is covered by the tread 17 having a tread suitable for the use of the tire.
  • the sides of the carcass are covered by the side strips 18 in flexible rubber mix.
  • the filling profile 14 has a general section of triangular shape tapered upwards with a height such that the top of this profile is located at a distance h from the base of the bead of between 0.2 and 0.5 times the height H of the tire section.
  • This profile 14 is made of a rubbery mixture reinforced with short fibers, this mixture being worked so that at least a significant portion of these fibers are oriented mainly in the radial or meridian direction of the tire.
  • this mixture has an anisotropy marked by its properties of resistance to elongation, this resistance being in the radial direction at least twice greater than the resistance measured in the other orthogonal directions (anisotropy ratio 2/1 or more).
  • fibrous mixtures For the production of fibrous mixtures, it is possible to use various fiber contents as well as various kinds of fibers as to their nature, their length and their fineness, according to the techniques adopted for their mixing with the rubber matrix and for giving them a more or less advanced degree of orientation, the main thing being to obtain for these mixtures the desired anisotropy characteristics. Good results have been obtained with fibrous mixtures containing from 10 to 75 parts of fibers by weight per 100 parts of rubber, the fibers incorporated being cellulose fibers "Santoweb" from the company Monsanto Cy having lengths between 0.5 at 3 mm and a diameter of the order of 0.01 mm.
  • the test used to assess the endurance of the beads consists in turning the tires in contact with a rotary flywheel at a speed of 80 km / hour under a load and a pressure equal to 165% of the load and the normal pressure and to measure the time necessary for the appearance of a failure in the area of the beads.
  • FIG. 2 is an endurance diagram giving the times T from which the tires tested show a failure putting them out of use, these times being worn as a function of the h / h ratios. It can be seen that the tires comprising filling profiles 14 in mixtures A or B not in accordance with the invention have good endurance of the beads only when the heights of the filling profiles are less than 0.3H, an average endurance when '' they have a height greater than 0.5 H and a significantly worse endurance in the range of heights between 0.3 and 0.5 H.
  • those of the tourist tires tested having filling profiles 14 in an anisotropic fibrous mixture C according to the invention show excellent fatigue endurance. in the range of heights between 0.3 and 0.5 H for which the tires have the best and most pleasant driving behavior for the majority of drivers. It turns out that these filling profiles in anisotropic fibrous mixture have their greatest resistance to elongation in the radial direction of the tire, making it possible to obtain the best endurance / road behavior compromises.
  • the folded edges 11 of the carcass can be provided to rise more or less high towards the side so as to completely or partially envelop the external face of the filling profile 14, this in order to adjust the behavior properties at will.
  • this adjustment can also be made by acting on the properties of the profiles 14 by varying the content or characteristics of the fibers or the hardness of the mixture by the usual routes. It is thus possible to minimize the length of the folded edges 11 of the carcass so that they do not substantially exceed the upper level of the rods, which saves relatively expensive material.
  • the invention is not limited to the application to the radial tourist tires described above. It can also be applied to other categories than tourist tires, namely tires for trucks and vans, agrarian, civil engineering or aircraft.
