Abstract: A motorcycle tire comprises bead portions each having an axially outer surface provided with a profile which comprises a radially inner portion and a radially outer portion. The radially inner portion is located axially outward of a bead core and extending substantially linearly in the tire radial direction. The radially outer portion is smoothly continued from the radially inner portion and extends radially outwardly to a sidewall portion, while inclining toward the axially outside. When an axial width between the bead portions is adjusted to coincide with a rim width between rim flanges, and an axial center of the axial width coincides with an axial center of the rim width, and further the tire rotational axis coincides with the rotational axis of the wheel rim, then at least a part of the radially outer portion of the profile protrudes axially outwardly from a profile of the inner surface of the rim flange.

Abstract: An assembly for manufacturing a wax moulding of a turbine engine blade has a wax injection mould in which a core is able to be mounted in a predetermined moulding position, the core including a main element and at least a first secondary element each including at least one functional part and a non-functional part, wherein the non-functional part of the first secondary element includes a rod portion extending in a longitudinal direction of the blade and housed in a first slot of the non-functional part of the main member, the mould including a first internal boss clamping said rod portion at the bottom of the first slot.

Abstract: A system for molding a door part of an automobile air conditioner is provided. The system is capable of automating a double injection-molding performed in two stages for a cover plate and a seal of the door part. The system includes a first molding unit for molding the cover plate, a second molding unit for integrally molding the seal onto a circumference of the cover plate, and a carrier unit arranged between the first and second molding units for moving the cover plate molded by the first molding unit to the second molding unit.

Abstract: A tire for running on rough terrain for which an intended tire rotational direction is specified, comprises: a tread portion 2 provided with a first block 11 having a ground contacting top surface 16, and a base cross sectional shape 17. The ground contacting top surface 16 has a polygonal shape having a heel-side oblique edge 21 inclined with respect to the tire axial direction. The base cross sectional shape 17 is a polygon having a heel-side axial edge 22 extending in the tire axial direction. In the top view of the first block, an angle ?a formed between the heel-side oblique edge 21 and the heel-side axial edge 22 is in a range from 5 to 45 degrees.

Abstract: A tire 1 includes shoulder regions 4 each provided with first lateral grooves 7 and second lateral grooves 8. Each of the first lateral grooves 7 includes an inner portion 11 that extends axially outwardly from an inner end (7i) arranged axially outside a crown main groove 3 with a space therebetween and obliquely at an angle ?1 with respect to the tire axial direction, and an outer portion 12 that extends obliquely at an angle ?2 smaller than the angle ?1 with respect to the tire axial direction so as to cross a tread edge (Te). Each of the second lateral grooves 8 is arranged between adjacent first lateral grooves and extends axially outwardly from an inner end (8i) thereof arranged axially outside the crown main groove and obliquely in the same direction as the first lateral grooves 7 so as to terminate without reaching the tread edge (Te).

Abstract: A method for producing a fiber-reinforced resin molded body, including heating a fiber-reinforced resin molded body precursor containing thermoplastic resin as matrix resin to soften it and molding it in a molding die, where temperature unevenness between the inside and surface of the fiber-reinforced resin molded body precursor can be reduced. The method includes a first step of storing a fiber-reinforced resin molded body precursor containing thermoplastic resin as the matrix resin and containing conductive fibrous materials therein into a heating furnace with heating apparatuses while holding the precursor using a pair of holding tools, which also function as electrodes, and then actuating the heating apparatuses while supplying current to the precursor from the electrodes, thereby softening the precursor; and a second step of transferring the softened precursor to a molding die using the holding tools, and molding a fiber-reinforced resin molded body in the molding die.
