Abstract
A vulcanization mold for manufacturing pneumatic vehicle tires has mold segments for forming the tread strip of a pneumatic vehicle tire. The mold segments have a radially inwardly facing honeycomb lamella pattern in a radial direction of the vulcanization mold. The honeycomb lamella pattern has first zigzag lamella members mounted in the mold segments and second zigzag lamella members mounted in the mold segments. The first zigzag lamella members extend in a first main direction and the second zigzag members extend in a second main direction. The first and second main directions cross one another. The first zigzag lamella members have first lamella elements and the second zigzag lamella members have second lamella elements, wherein the first and second lamella elements form honeycomb walls of the honeycomb pattern. Some honeycomb walls are joined walls each comprising one of the first lamella elements as a base portion and one of the second lamella elements as a bridge portion arranged in a radial direction of the vulcanization mold atop one another.
