  • Patent number: 11964871
    Abstract: To provide a novel immobilized product in which a carbon material and/or a silicon material is/are immobilized on a base material surface by a chemical bond via a linking group, and a method for producing the same. The immobilized product is an immobilized product in which a carbon material is immobilizing on a surface of a base material, wherein the carbon material is chemically bonded on the surface of the base material via a linking group, and the linking group is at least one selected from the group consisting of a —NH group, a —NH—R1—NH group, a —SO group, a R2 group, a —O—R3—O group, and a R4 group (in which the R1 to R4 each independently represent at least one selected from the group consisting of a chain alkyl group, a cyclic alkyl group, a chain alkenyl group, a cyclic alkenyl group, a chain alkynyl group, etc.).

  • Patent number: 4082132
    Abstract: A low section profile pneumatic radial tire for heavy vehicles used for recently developed transport facilities such as a trolley bus, mono-rail vehicle, driverless vehicle, sub-way vehicle, etc. is disclosed. The low section profile pneumatic radial tire for heavy vehicles is constructed to satisfy the following three conditions, i.e.1. a thickness Gm of that tread portion which extends along a crown center region SW2 is substantially uniformly distributed over 35-60% of the maximum width SW1 of those inextensible layers which mainly consist of a tension member of a belt,2. a cushion rubber formed of a rubber stock which is triangular in cross-section and has a thickness Gs is arranged outside both sides of the center region of a crown and inserted between a carcass and a belt so as to gradually increase the thickness of the tread portion toward the hump portion of the tire, and3.

  • Patent number: 4037637
    Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire so constructed as to reduce a breaker interlayer shearing strain without adding any particular supplemental reinforcing layer is disclosed. The radial tire has an initial sectional shape which satisfies the following conditions.1. R.sub.1 /R.sub.1' .ltoreq. 0.82. r.sub.2 /w / r.sub.2' /w' .gtoreq. 1.53. modulus of a breaker cord .gtoreq. 10 .times. 10.sup.3 Kg/mm.sup.2, and4. Breaker cord angle .ltoreq. 25.degree.Where R.sub.1 is a radius of curvature of an outer profile of a carcass in a vertical center section through a rotational axis of the tire on a normal line to an outer curved surface through a widthwise end of a crown before the inside of the tire is pressurized, R.sub.1' is its corresponding radius of curvature after the inside of the tire has been pressurized, R.sub.2 is a radius of curvature of an outer profile of the crown in the vertical center section through the rotational axis of the tire before the inside of the tire is pressurized, R.sub.

  • Patent number: 3977243
    Abstract: A testing machine for a tire on an imitation road in which a tire to be tested is urged against a crawler with the aid of a cantilever arm connected through a crosshead to a lifting and lowering disc engaged with screw threaded rods rotatably mounted in a machine frame. The crawler is composed of an endless chain and a road surface forming rods detachably mounted on the endless chain and replaceable by new rods made of different kind of material. In the crosshead are incorporated slip and camber angle setting mechanisms. Provision is made of load cells such as a strain gauge operatively connected to a tire supporting shaft, driving and driven shafts of the crawler and a guide rail of the crawler and for detecting a vertical load subjected to the tire, a torque for driving the crawler under various load conditions and a transverse component of force subjected to the crawler when the tire having a given slip angle or a camber angle is urged against the crawler.

  • Patent number: 3964533
    Abstract: A pneumatic radial type tire having an improved durability in bead section comprises at least one carcass ply composed of metal cords in a substantially radial arrangement, at least one chafer composed of rubberized metal cords, a carcass reinforcing member secured to the surface of the carcass ply and composed of at least two rubberized cord fabrics whose cords are crossed with each other at an angle larger than 60.degree. with respect to the cord direction of the carcass ply, and a rubber stiffener composed of a composite rubber stock having a hardness which is made smaller at the upper part than at the lower part thereof.
