Publication number: 20220402306Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire, in particular utility vehicle tire, having a tread which has a directional profiling with shoulder-side and middle profile ribs running in a circumferential direction, wherein at least one of the middle profile ribs (1), which is in particular a profile rib running along the tire equator, is traversed in an axial direction by sipes (4) with a width (b1) of 0.5 mm to 1.2 mm, each of which has a central portion (4a), in which the sipe (4) runs with an undulation in the direction of extent thereof, and two lateral portions (4b). The sipes (4) extend, in plan view, in an arc shape and symmetrically with respect to the centerline of the profile rib (1), and, in the lateral portions (4b) and in the central portion (4a), have a uniform undulation running in the radial direction, on which the undulation present in the extent direction of the sipes (4) is superposed only in the central portion (4a) of the sipe (4).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2020Publication date: December 22, 2022Applicant: Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbHInventors: Andreas Härtwig, Andreas Schwenke, Florian Kristen, Nico Meier, Alexander Wüst, Cord-Christian Neuber

Publication number: 20210178824Abstract: The invention relates to a utility vehicle tire having a tread with at least two circumferential channels (3), which are formed to a profile depth (T) and which separate central profile positives (1) and shoulder-side profile positives (2) from one another, the circumferential channels (3) having channel flanks (5a, 5b) toward the central profile positives (1) and the shoulder-side profile positives (2) having shoulder flanks (6) running toward the side wall. At least one channel flank (5a, 5b) of at least one circumferential channel (3) and/or at least one shoulder flank (6) is provided with depressions (7, 7?) which extend into the profile positives (1, 2) and are open toward the surface of the tread and which, determined in each case at the periphery of the tread, have with respect to the level of the channel flank (5a, 5b) or shoulder flank (6) a depth (t1, t1?) of 2.0 mm to 5.0 mm and at the level of the channel flank (5a, 5b) or shoulder flank (6) a width (b1, b1?) of 4.0 mm to 15.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2018Publication date: June 17, 2021Applicant: Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbHInventors: Florian Kristen, Alexander Wuest

Patent number: 9969224Abstract: A vehicle tire has outer shoulders and two tread halves. The tire includes a tread having six block rows and a plurality of circumferential grooves. Mutually adjacent ones of the block rows are separated from each other by a corresponding one of the plurality of circumferential grooves. Each of the block rows has individual blocks separated from each other by mutually parallel essentially straight transverse grooves running at an angle to the axial direction of the tire. The circumferential grooves include first circumferential grooves having a maximum profile depth and second circumferential grooves having a second profile depth less than the maximum profile depth. The transverse grooves have a depth approximately corresponding to a maximum profile depth at first outlet locations. The transverse grooves have a depth corresponding to the second profile depth at second outlet locations.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbHInventors: Anastassia Pokutta-Paskaleva, Amelia Olga Goncalves Ankiewicz, Jens Hoffmann, Alexander Wuest, Klaus Wiese, Ulrich Vermehr, Yeo Chun Yi, Moh Wahi Mohd Wahinuddin, Franz-Josef Dopheide

Patent number: 9862237Abstract: A regroovable tread profile of a pneumatic vehicle tire includes a regrooving indicator formed with an additional indent in the base of the depression in the form of a blind hole lying transversely in relation to the main direction of extent (U) of the groove and having a length of extent (A2) and an indent depth (B), where (B) is formed such that B<A2 and B<A1 and B<L and with a depth of extent (T2) where T2>T1, which is measured starting from the groove base inward in the radial direction (R) to the base bounding the indent radially inwardly. The depth of extent (T1) forms the measure for the minimum regrooving depth and the depth of extent (T2) forms the measure for the maximum regrooving depth.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2014Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbHInventors: Jens Hoffmann, Alexander Wuest, Amelia Olga Goncalves Ankiewicz, Tim Tkocz, Anastassia Pokutta-Paskaleva
