Publication number: 20130133804Abstract: A method forms an adhesion joint between a cord and a rubber matrix. The method includes the steps of providing a cord having an initial relatively smooth surface, texturing the smooth surface such that the resulting surface is rougher than the initial surface of the cord, and inserting the cord into a rubber matrix such that the resulting surface provides enhanced adhesion to the rubber matrix compared to the adhesion of the initial surface to the rubber matrix.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2011Publication date: May 30, 2013Inventors: Samy Laroussi Mzabi, Claude Ernest Felix Boes, Gilles Joseph Henri Bertemes, Etienne Besnoin, Patrick François Willems

Tire including projections having sides of unequal length and an undercut extending beneath the apex
Patent number: 7497240Abstract: The tire has a plurality of radially outer rubber components defining a radially outer surface (S1) exposed to fluids having a relative displacement with respect to the rotating tire. At least one radially outer component has projections, the projections being defined by first sides (2) and second sides (2?) of unequal length. The first sides (2) have a greater length, delimiting therebetween an angle ? ranging from 5° to 60° and forming at their intersection an apex (P). The projections protrude by a height (h) from the radially outer surface (S1) from which said first and second sides originate, the height (h) ranging from 0.2 to 100 micrometers. In more than 75% of the projections, any plane tangent to the first side (2) of the projection cuts the radially outer surface (S1) at an acute angle.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2001Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Rene Jean Zimmer, Claude Ernest Felix Boes -

Patent number: 6951139Abstract: A stress sensor includes two capacitor plates held in a spaced-apart relationship by a connector block situated therebetween. The connector block includes a plurality of rods protruding from opposite connector block sides and extending into a respective capacitor plate to attach peripheral portions of each capacitor plate to the connector block. A small air gap is maintained between peripheral portions of the capacitor plates by the inclusion of a spacer member. Terminal end portions of the protruding rods are deformed such as by the application of heat over an outer surface of the capacitor plates to retain the capacitor plates in a fixed mutual relationship. The terminal end portions of the rods further serve to prevent horizontal or vertical slippage between the capacitor plates when the sensor is vulcanized into rubber compounds such as in a tire.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2003Date of Patent: October 4, 2005Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Rene Francois Reuter, Claude Ernest Félix Boes, Peter Phelps Roch, Rene Jean Zimmer, Damian Georges
