Abstract: An automobile pneumatic tire comprises a multiple-ply carcass extending in-between two bead rings having allocated bead fillers, a belt arrangement between the plies of the carcass and a tread strip, and rubber reinforcement plies in the sidewall sections assuming a supporting function where the tire is deflated. A first rubber reinforcement ply is inside a first ply of the carcass, a second rubber reinforcement ply is between the first ply of the carcass and the second ply of the carcass, and a third rubber reinforcement ply is between the second ply of the carcass and a third ply of the carcass. The three rubber reinforcement plies extend down with their ends staggered in relation to each other from the bead core area to the edge area of the belt ply. The three rubber plies have different heights in radial direction and different thickness over the height of the sidewall.

Abstract: A vehicle tire comprises a carcass ply (1) extending between two bead regions, a tread region disposed between side walls (7,8) and having a tread surface (6) curved in the axial direction and also a breaker (5) reinforcing the tread region and arranged between the carcass ply and tread region, characterised in that in the normally inflated state of the tyre mounted on a tyre rim, the vertical spacing of the tread surface (6) with respect to the breaker continuously reduces, starting from the region of the tyre centre (3), towards the breaker edges (13, 14) and in that the side walls (7, 8) are made at least substantially self-supporting.

Abstract: A vehicle tire is described having at least one carcass ply extending between bead regions, a tread region (1) and a belt arrangement (3) disposed between the carcass and the tread as well as a tread profile provided in the tread region having at least one overwide circumferential groove (2) disposed in particular away from the middle and on the inner side of the tire, with the tire region disposed beneath the overwide circumferential groove, which has in particular a width of more than 30 mm, being formed with additional localised reinforcement in the axial direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vulcanization mold for producing rubber goods, especially vehicle tires. The mold has a number of deairing holes into which blocking mechanisms are introduced. The blocking mechanisms ensure, especially by means of the air duct being bent, that the air can be drained without any disadvantageous flash being produced. In a second embodiment, the blocking mechanisms forms a two-part valve with the central body. In this case, the blocking mechanism has an elastically deformable planar area placed on the inside of the mold which acts at least essentially as a seal in conjunction with the central body when impinged upon by the surface of the blank.

Abstract: Pneumatic vehicle tires comprising a carcass which extends between two bead rings, a belt arrangement provided between the carcass and a tread strip, and also rubber reinforcing plies arranged in the sidewall regions, which adopt a supporting function when the tire is deflated, are characterized in that a single rubber reinforcing ply is arranged radially within a first carcass ply and its maximum thickness is disposed in the upper half of the sidewall height; with the rubber reinforcing ply extending from the bead apex region up to and beneath the edge region of the belt ply, and with the bead apex, which extends approximately up to the half sidewall height, being surrounded by the first carcass ply.

Abstract: The invention relates to pneumatic tires for a motor vehicle comprising a multi-layer carcass. Said multi-layer carcass extends between two bead rings, a set of bracing plies provided between the layers of the carcass and a tire tread, and rubber reinforcement layers arranged in the side wall areas which support the tire when it is deflated. The invention is characterized in that a first rubber reinforcement layer is arranged radially within a first carcass layer and a second rubber reinforcement layer is arranged between the first carcass layer and a second carcass layer. The two rubber reinforcement layers extend from the bead filler area to a position under the edge area of the bracing plies. The two rubber layers vary in thickness across the height of the side walls.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to A plurality of vehicle tires having tread patterns of substantially the same outer appearance, wherein the tread patterns comprise a primary tread pattern comprising blocks and/or ribs separated by broad cut-outs and a secondary tread pattern on the blocks and/or ribs of the primary tread pattern comprising fine cuts. At least one vehicle tire has fine cuts of low depth and at least one different tire has sections of the fine cuts that have a different depth of fine cuts. The at least one vehicle tire has different driving characteristic from the at least one different vehicle tire. The advantage of the vehicle tires of the present invention is that a performance characteristic of the tire can be chosen by altering the structure of specific sections of the tire, without varying the fundamental opial appearance of the tire.

Abstract: A device for measuring the elastic-viscous properties of objects, in particular objects made of an elastomer material such as rubber, has a measurement body movable in relation to a holder and having a measurement head that can be set on a test object, means for moving the measurement body back and forth and means for measuring the path of displacement of the measurement head and/or the force that acts on the measurement head during the reciprocating movement of the measurement body. In order to diversify the possible uses of the device and to simplify the measurement process, the measurement body is mounted in a freely movable housing with a passage for the measurement head and a bearing surface that can be set on the test object.
