In a solid tire including a tread rubber layer on a road contact surface side and a base rubber layer on a rim side, the base rubber layer has JIS-A hardness of 80 or higher, and an RFID tag is embedded in the base rubber layer. When forming an unvulcanized tire by winding a rubber sheet into multiple layers, the RFID tag is inserted between layers of the rubber sheet in the middle of the winding into multiple layers, or the RFID tag and a coating layer are overlaid and attached on a side surface of the unvulcanized tire, and then the unvulcanized tire including the RFID tag is vulcanized in a mold.

Solid tire and method for manufacturing same

A sewing machine including a control device and a plurality of driving devices adapted to be controlled by the control device, in which one of a plurality of operating panels is selectably connectable to the control device. When one of the operating panels is connected to the control device, the control device controls the driving devices according to a selected additional control program. When none of the operating panels is connected to the control device, the control device controls the driving devices according to a basic control program. The operating panels are adapted to output discrimination signals peculiar to each of the operating panels so that the control device discriminates the operating panel selected and connected.

Sewing machine capable of being equipped with one of a plurality of

A mechanism for trimming the thread on a sewing machine with a laterally oscillating needle has devices for shifting the amplitude of needle oscillation to a center or zero position and for cutting both needle and bobbin threads. Thread connected to a workpiece is easily cut by actuation of the shift device to move the needle to the center position at which time the thread cutting device is actuated to cut the sewing machine needle and bobbin threads.
