  • Patent number: 9027618
    Abstract: A mounted assembly of a wheel and a tire. The tire inflation pressure is greater than 9 bar, and a relative deflection of the tire greater than 30%. The rim comprises a drop-center functionality and is of monobloc type. A carcass reinforcement includes a circumferential alignment of carcass reinforcement elements anchored in the beads by a stack of circumferentially oriented reinforcement elements, and by an anchoring rubber mix having an elasticity modulus of less than 30 MPa at 10% deformation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7278457
    Abstract: An aircraft tire has an inflation pressure greater than 9 bar and a deflection greater than 30%. The tire includes a crown, two sidewalls and two beads, a carcass reinforcement anchored in the two beads and a crown reinforcement. The carcass reinforcement includes at least one circumferential alignment of reinforcement elements and the mechanism for anchoring the reinforcement elements within each bead includes circumferentially oriented reinforcement elements axially bordering the circumferential alignments of said reinforcement elements of the carcass reinforcement. The reinforcement elements of the carcass reinforcement and the circumferentially oriented reinforcement elements are separated from each other by a bonding rubber mix of very high elasticity modulus. The circumferentially oriented reinforcement elements are in the form of cables having a penetrability of between 80 and 100%, the breaking load of the cables being greater than 150 daN, and the cables having an elongation at break greater than 4%.

  • Publication number: 20050252593
    Abstract: The invention relates to mounted assemblies for aircraft and to the wheels and tires which constitute them. The mounted assemblies for aircraft to which the invention relates are characterized in particular by the combination of an inflation pressure greater than 9 bar and a relative deflection of the tire greater than 30%, the wheel comprising a rim for receiving the tire and more specifically seats receiving the beads of said tire. According to the invention, the rim comprises a drop-centre functionality and is advantageously of monobloc type.
