Pneumatic tire with carcass ply overlap
View Patent ↗This pneumatic tire is provided with: a pair of carcass layers arranged so as to extend from the respective left and right beads of the tire across the tread; and a plurality of crossing belts arranged on the outside of the carcass layers in the radial direction of the tire. The pair of carcass layers is arranged so as to overlap each other in the tire width direction. The overlapping width (Wc) of the carcass layers is in the range of 0.5 mm≤Wc≤40 mm.
1. A pneumatic tire comprising:
left and right carcass layers forming a pair of carcass layers arranged so as to extend from respective left and right beads of the tire into a tread region;
a plurality of crossing belts arranged on an outside of the pair of carcass layers in a radial direction of the tire;
the left and right carcass layers of the pair of carcass layers being arranged so as to overlap each other in a tire width direction in the tread region;
an overlapping width (Wc) of the carcass layers being in a range of 0.5 mm≤Wc≤40 mm;
a pair of inner liners covering the pair of carcass layers from an inner circumferential surface of the tire; and
the pair of inner liners being arranged so as to overlap each other in the tire width direction; wherein
an end portion of a first inner liner terminates without crossing an end portion of a first carcass layer in the tire width direction, an end portion of a second inner liner extends beyond an end portion of a second carcass layer in the tire width direction, and the first inner liner does not overlap the first carcass layer in the tire width direction; and
an overlapping width (Wi) of the pair of inner liners is in a range of 15 mm≤Wi≤35 mm.
2. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein an overlapping position of the pair of carcass layers, based on a belt width (Wb) of a second widest crossing belt among the plurality of crossing belts, is in a region of ±0.35×Wb centered on a tire equatorial plane.
3. The pneumatic tire according to claim 2 , wherein end portions of the carcass layers and end portions of the inner liners are arranged so as to be shifted away from each other in the tire width direction.
4. The pneumatic tire according to claim 3 , wherein an overlapping position of the end portions of the left and right carcass layers and an overlapping position of the end portions of left and right inner liners of the pair of inner liners are arranged so as to be shifted away from each other in the tire width direction.
5. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the inner liners are adhered to the carcass layers via adhesive tie rubbers.
6. The pneumatic tire according to claim 5 , wherein the end portions of the inner liners and end portions of the tie rubbers are arranged to as to be aligned with each other.
7. The pneumatic tire according to claim 5 , wherein end portions of the inner liners and end portions of the tie rubbers are arranged so as to be shifted away from each other in the tire width direction.
8. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein an overlapping position of the pair of carcass layers, based on a belt width (Wb) of a second widest crossing belt among the plurality of crossing belts, is in a region of ±0.35×Wb centered on a tire equatorial plane.
9. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein end portions of the carcass layers and end portions of the inner liners are arranged so as to be shifted away from each other in the tire width direction.
10. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein an overlapping position of end portions of the left and right carcass layers and an overlapping position of end portions of left and right inner liners of the pair of inner liners are arranged so as to be shifted away from each other in the tire width direction.
11. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the inner liners are adhered to the carcass layers via adhesive tie rubbers, end portions of the inner liners and end portions of the tie rubbers are arranged so as to be shifted away from each other in the tire width direction, and left and right tie rubbers adhere to each other.
12. The pneumatic tire according to claim 11 , wherein a first tie rubber on one side does not overlap in the tire width direction with respect to a first inner liner on the other side, and a second tie rubber on the other side overlaps in the tire width direction with respect to a second inner liner on the one side.
13. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein end portions on an inner side in the tire radial direction of the carcass layers are fixed to fold toward an outer side in the tire width direction so as to wrap around a bead core.
14. A pneumatic tire comprising:
left and right carcass layers forming a pair of carcass layers arranged so as to extend from respective left and right beads of the tire into a tread region;
a plurality of crossing belts arranged on an outside of the pair of carcass layers in a radial direction of the tire;
the left and right carcass layers of the pair of carcass layers being arranged so as to overlap each other in a tire width direction in the tread region;
an overlapping width (Wc) of the carcass layers being in a range of 0.5 mm≤Wc≤40 mm;
a pair of inner liners covering the pair of carcass layers from an inner circumferential surface of the tire; and
the pair of inner liners being arranged so as to overlap each other in the tire width direction; wherein
the inner liners are adhered to the carcass layers via adhesive tie rubbers, end portions of the inner liners and end portions of the tie rubbers are arranged so as to be shifted away from each other in the tire width direction, and left and right tie rubbers adhere to each other; and
a first tie rubber on one side does not overlap in the tire width direction with respect to a first inner liner on the other side, and a second tie rubber on the other side overlaps in the tire width direction with respect to a second inner liner on the one side.
