A shear band for a tire includes an annular first, radially outer fabric layer extending circumferentially around the tire; and an annular second, radially inner fabric layer extending circumferentially around the tire. The shear band is formed from a single shear band strip helically wound circumferentially and axially with a first edge of the shear band strip. The first edge of the shear band strip has a first extension flap for engaging an opposite second edge of the shear band strip. The first extension flap is continuously secured to the opposite second edge linearly along the opposite second edge of the shear band strip.

Shear band construction

A support assembly for a vehicle travels along a road surface and rotates relative to the road surface and the vehicle. The first support assembly includes a spherical tread layer for contacting the road surface, a foam layer adjacent the spherical tread layer, the foam layer including adjustable elements for altering an outer physical contour of the spherical tread layer, the outer physical contour contacting the road surface, a spherical wheel/tire for supporting the spherical tread layer and the vehicle, and a drive system magnetically driving rotation of the spherical wheel/tire relative to the vehicle such that no portion of the spherical tread layer physically contacts the vehicle.

Spherical wheel/tire assembly

The present application relates to a tire () comprising a tread portion () and sidewalls () terminating with beads, with inner sides defining an annular cavity; a deformable structure () located in the annular cavity in contact with the inner side of the tread portion (), said structure () comprising bendable elements (); wherein the bendable elements () of the deformable structure () comprise a piezoelectric material () so as to produce electrical energy from bending of said elements () and comprise at least one thermoelectric material () so as to produce electrical energy from heat of said elements.

Tire producing electrical power

The present application relates to a tire () comprising: a tread portion () and side walls (), said tread portion () and side walls () defining a main air chamber (); at least two auxiliary chambers () formed in the tread portion (); and an air transfer device () for transferring air between the main air chamber () and each of the auxiliary air chambers ().

Tripletube tire

The invention relates to preparation of rubber reinforced with at least one of graphene and carbon nanotubes with specialized coupling agent and tire with component thereof.

Preparation of rubber reinforced with at least one of graphene and carbon nanotubes with specialized coupling agent and tire with component

The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire comprising at least one component, the at least one component comprising a rubber composition, the rubber composition comprising:

Pneumatic tire with rubber component containing carboxymethylcellulose

The present invention is directed to a pneumatic tire comprising one or more indicia formed from an elastomeric coating composition comprising a diene based elastomer and from 1 to 100 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of elastomer, of a nanoparticle comprising an inner core of an inorganic magnetic material at least partially covered by an outer layer of silica.

The present invention relates to a pneumatic tire having a component comprising at least one elastomer containing olefinic unsaturation; and compound of formula I wherein:

Pneumatic tire

The tire has a plurality of radially outer rubber components defining a radially outer surface (S) exposed to fluids having a relative displacement with respect to the rotating tire. At least one radially outer component has projections, the projections being defined by first sides () and second sides () of unequal length. The first sides () have a greater length, delimiting therebetween an angle &#x3b1; ranging from 5&#xb0; to 60&#xb0; and forming at their intersection an apex (P). The projections protrude by a height (h) from the radially outer surface (S) from which said first and second sides originate, the height (h) ranging from 0.2 to 100 micrometers. In more than 75% of the projections, any plane tangent to the first side () of the projection cuts the radially outer surface (S) at an acute angle.
