Patent number: 8839833Abstract: A tire having two beads and a carcass reinforcement with a main part wrapped within each bead around a bead wire core to form a turned-back portion. Each bead has an additional reinforcement and a filler profiled element extending the bead wire core radially outwards. This filler profiled element has, in any meridian plane, a three exterior sides including a radially inner side, axially inner side and axially outer side, with the axially inner and outer sides converging at a radially outermost point, and is formed of a stack in the radial direction of at least three polymer materials in contact along a contact surface that intersects any meridian plane along a meridian line.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2010Date of Patent: September 23, 2014Assignees: Michelin Recherche et Techniques S.A., Compagnie Generale des Etablissements MichelinInventors: Bopha Grisin, Chris Boyer

Publication number: 20130292027Abstract: The invention relates to a tire having a radial carcass reinforcement, consisting of at least one layer of reinforcing elements anchored in each of the beads by an upturn around a bead wire, said carcass reinforcement upturn being reinforced by at least one layer of reinforcing elements or stiffener, the radially outer end of which is radially on the outside of the end of the upturn. According to the invention, the reinforcing elements of at least one stiffener are non-wrapped metal cords with saturated layers, having, in what is called the permeability test, a flow rate of less than 5 cm3/min and the distance between the radially outer end of the stiffener and the end of the carcass reinforcement upturn is less than 5 mm.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2011Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicants: MICHELIN RECHERCHE ET TECHNIQUE S.A., COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELINInventors: Gilles Sallaz, Agnés Degeorges, Alain Domingo, Bopha Grisin
