  • Patent number: 9908372
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes: one fastener among a pair of mechanical fasteners that are separated into two in a region of a range from a bead tip to the maximum width position of a tire at a tire inner surface; and an electronic circuit device with another fastener that is to be engaged with the one fastener, the electronic circuit device being secured to the tire inner surface by fitting the two fasteners. In the pneumatic tire with such a configuration, even in the case where the electronic circuit device is mounted on the tire inner surface and liquid such as puncture repair liquid is injected in the tire at puncture, there is no possibility of damaging the electronic circuit device due to adhesion of the liquid to the electronic circuit device such as an air pressure sensor.

  • Patent number: 9108373
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire including a resin layer on at least a portion of the tire inside surface, the resin layer being formed from a thermoplastic resin or a thermoplastic elastomer composition in which an elastomer is dispersed in a thermoplastic resin. The pneumatic tire is provided with a fastener including a base material formed from a thermoplastic resin and engaging elements formed on the base material. Additionally, the base material of the fastener is fixed to the resin layer via fusion bonding.

  • Publication number: 20120000588
    Abstract: Provided is a pneumatic tire including a hook-and-loop fastener which has a plurality of engaging elements provided at one surface of a base, in which the base of the hook-and-loop fastener is adhered to an inner surface of the tire so that the engaging elements are located near an inner cavity of the tire, and in which a protrusion is provided at one surface of the base of the hook-and-loop fastener to prevent the engaging elements from being crushed.
