Patent number: 6571844Abstract: Sipes extending from one end of a block to the central area of the block and sipes extending from the other end of the block to the central area of the block (sipes 24, 28, 32 and 36) are inclined in directions opposite to each other. The sipes extending from one end of the block and the sipes extending from the other end of the block intersect a common line extending along the circumferential direction of the tire. Due to this structure, the number of portions of the sipes, which portions are located in the central area of the block, is made greater than that in the peripheral area of the block. The density of sipes is thus increased in the central area of a block where water tends to form when driving on ice, for improving braking and traction properties on ice.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2000Date of Patent: June 3, 2003Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Naoya Ochi, Masaharu Kimura, Makoto Kurokawa, Hiroshi Kawabe, Hiroto Yoshida

Patent number: 5339880Abstract: A method and an apparatus for fitting bead portions of the tire onto a wheel substantially uniformly and at the same time for filling inner pressure into the tire. A wheel cap-shaped jig in the form of a disc is arranged on the side surface of the wheel. The periphery of the wheel cap-shaped jig progressively reduces outwardly in the rotating axial direction of the wheel. The tire is then obliquely arranged on the wheel through the wheel cap-shaped jig, and the bead portions are radially outwardly expanded along their circumferences so as to assemble onto the rim. An outer cylindrical member having an inclined annular end surface and an inner cylindrical member telescopically arranged in the outer cylindrical member are brought into air-tight contact with the rim and a side surface of the tire, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1993Date of Patent: August 23, 1994Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Kawabe, Toshiyuki Watanabe, Naotaka Tomita

Patent number: 5287907Abstract: A method for assembling a tire on the rim of a wheel and filling inner pressure in the tire. The wheel is fixed on a wheel table in an airtight manner to the table. The tire is arranged on the wheel and a pawl is moved along the circumference of the wheel or the wheel on the table is rotated to arrange the bead portions of the tire around the rim of the wheel. An outer cylinder member is brought into abutment against one of the bead portions to urge it toward the other bead portion and pressurized air is filled into the tire through a clearance between the wheel and the one bead portion of the tire to bring the bead portions into close contact with the rim of the wheel. Thereafter, pressurized air is further filled in the tire through the inflation valve of the wheel to maintain the inner pressure higher than the normal inner pressure and then the inner pressure is lowered to the normal inner pressure.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1992Date of Patent: February 22, 1994Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Kawabe, Toshiyuki Watanabe, Naotaka Tomita

Patent number: 5222538Abstract: A method for assembling a tire on a wheel without causing any detrimental deformation of bead portions of the tire. The tire is obliquely arranged on a wheel cap-shaped jig provided on the upper side surface of the wheel located on a flat surface to arrange the lower part of the lower bead portion loosely around the wheel. The lower part of the tire is inwardly urged, while the other part of the lower bead portion is radially outwardly expanded to arrange it along its circumference around the wheel, progressively. Moreover, the part of the upper bead portion is radially outwardly expanded and is urged downward toward the support surface to arrange it loosely around the wheel. The part of the tire corresponding to the part of the upper bead portion is inwardly urged, while the remaining part of the upper bead portion is radially outwardly expanded and is urged downward toward the support surface along the circumference of the upper bead portion to arrange it around the wheel, progressively.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 1992Date of Patent: June 29, 1993Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Naotaka Tomita, Hiroshi Kawabe, Toshiyuki Watanabe

Patent number: 5146969Abstract: An apparatus for filling pressurized air into a tire includes a table for supporting thereon a tire mounted on a rim, an inner cylinder member air-tightly engageable with a flange of the rim, and an outer cylinder member air-tightly engageable with a side rubber of the tire and forming an air-tight space in cooperation with the inner cylinder member. The end face of the outer cylinder member air-tightly engageable with the side rubber of the tire is inclined to the rotating axis of the tire. Therefore, the bead portion of the tire needs only to get over the part of the hump of the rim positioned oblique relative thereto along its circumference little by little during filling pressurized air into the tire. As a result, the bead portion of the tire is only subjected to a little deformation and comes into close contact with the rim, the bead portion of the tire substantially uniformly closely contacts the rim.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1991Date of Patent: September 15, 1992Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Kawabe, Toshiyuki Watanabe
