Abstract

A pneumatic vehicle tire ( 1 ) having a profiled tread ( 2 ) that merges at either side into sidewalls ( 3 ), the end of which is formed by a tire bead ( 5, 6 ) insertable in an airtight manner into a wheel rim ( 7 ) of a vehicle wheel ( 8 ), wherein an absorber ( 10 ) has been integrated into the pneumatic vehicle tire ( 1 ) for sound absorption and the cohesive bond consists of an adhesion promoter ( 11 ) applied between the absorber ( 10 ) and the inner surface ( 9 ) of the pneumatic vehicle tire ( 1 ), has been further developed in accordance with the invention in that the inner surface ( 9 ) of the pneumatic vehicle tire ( 1 ) has mutually alternating adhesion promoter sections ( 12 ) and adhesion promoter-free sections ( 13 ), the adhesion promoter-free sections ( 13 ) having been coated with a separating agent ( 14 ).

Claims (18)

1. A pneumatic vehicle tire comprising a profiled tread that merges at either side into sidewalls, the profiled tread comprising ends formed by a tire bead which is insertable in an airtight manner into a wheel rim of a vehicle wheel, wherein an absorber cohesively bonded to an inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire has been integrated into the pneumatic vehicle tire for sound absorption, and wherein the cohesive bond consists of an adhesion promoter applied between the absorber and the inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire;

wherein the inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire has mutually alternating adhesion promoter sections applied in a circumferential direction of the pneumatic vehicle tire in linear form, and adhesion promoter-free sections parallel to the adhesion promoter sections, and wherein the adhesion promoter-free sections are provided with a separating agent such that there is no adhesion promoter in the adhesion promoter-free sections;

wherein in the adhesion promoter sections only the adhesion promoter is present between the absorber and the inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire; and

wherein the adhesion promoter-free sections comprise, as a separating agent between the inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire and the absorber, a weave.

2. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adhesion promoter sections and the adhesion promoter-free sections have a homogeneously repeating distribution around the circumference of the inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire.

3. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adhesion promoter sections and the adhesion promoter-free sections are distributed homogeneously around the circumference of the inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire, and wherein the adhesion promoter is applied in a constantly recurring, identical pattern to the surface of the absorber.

4. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the absorber comprises a sound-absorbing material, such as foam, glass wool, rock wool, cork, Styropor (polystirene), felt, nonwoven fabric or loop pile fabric.

5. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adhesion promoter is an adhesive.

6. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adhesion promoter is a polyurethane gel.

7. A pneumatic vehicle tire comprising a profiled tread that merges at either side into sidewalls, the profiled tread comprising ends formed by a tire bead which is insertable in an airtight manner into a wheel rim of a vehicle wheel, wherein an absorber cohesively bonded to an inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire has been integrated into the pneumatic vehicle tire for sound absorption, and wherein the cohesive bond consists of an adhesion promoter applied between the absorber and the inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire;

wherein the inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire has mutually alternating adhesion promoter sections applied in a circumferential direction of the pneumatic vehicle tire in linear form, and adhesion promoter-free sections parallel to the adhesion promoter sections, wherein the adhesion promoter-free sections are provided with a separating agent such that there is no adhesion promoter in the adhesion promoter-free sections;

wherein in the adhesion promoter sections only the adhesion promoter is present between the absorber and the inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire;

wherein the absorber comprises a sound-absorbing material, such as foam, glass wool, rock wool, cork, Styropor (polystirene), felt, nonwoven fabric or loop pile fabric; and

wherein the adhesion promoter-free sections comprise, as a separating agent between the inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire and the absorber, a weave.

8. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the adhesion promoter sections and the adhesion promoter-free sections have a homogeneously repeating distribution around the circumference of the inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire.

9. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the adhesion promoter sections are distributed homogeneously around the circumference of the inner surface of the pneumatic vehicle tire, and wherein the adhesion promoter is applied in a constantly recurring, identical pattern to the surface of the absorber.

10. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the adhesion promoter is an adhesive.

11. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the adhesion promoter is a polyurethane gel.
