Patent number: 8919403Abstract: A pneumatic tire is described which includes a tread, a carcass and a belt structure interposed between the carcass and the tread. The belt structure includes a pair of working belts, wherein the angle of the working belts range from about 15 degrees to about 30 degrees, wherein the belt structure further includes a zigzag belt structure located between the working belts. The zigzag belt structure is formed of at least two layers of cords interwoven together from a strip of rubber reinforced with one or more cords, wherein the strip forming the zigzag belt structure is layed up in a first zigzag winding extending from a first lateral belt edge to a second lateral belt edge in a zigzag wavelength having a first amplitude W1 followed by a second amplitude W2, and a second zigzag winding formed of a zigzag wavelength having a first amplitude W2 followed by a second amplitude W1.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2009Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Francois Pierre Charles Gerard Georges, Vincent Benoit Mathonet, Jean-Michel Alphonse Fernand Gillard, Roland Willibrord Krier, Bernard Robert Nicolas

Publication number: 20140373994Abstract: A pneumatic tire comprises a tread, a carcass and a belt structure interposed between the carcass and the tread. The belt structure includes a zigzag belt structure formed of at least two layers of cords interwoven together from a strip of rubber reinforced with one or more cords. The strip forming the zigzag belt structure is layed up in a winding pattern in accordance with the following formula: for i=1 through L, the ith winding pattern is: [WL-(i-1)Wi]×N for each drum revolution, wherein L is the number of different amplitudes used to define the zigzag cycle and L?2, and N is the number of zigzag cycles per drum revolution and N is either an integer ?1 or N=1/2n wherein n is an integer ?1.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2014Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventors: Francois Pierre Charles Gerard Georges, Bernard Robert Nicolas, Vincent Benoit Mathonet, Roland Willibrord Krier

Publication number: 20130014871Abstract: A tread for a pneumatic tire includes a first circumferentially continuous groove, a second circumferentially continuous groove, a central rib interposed between the two circumferentially continuous grooves and extending continuously around a circumference of the tread, a first circumferentially extending shoulder rib disposed laterally outside of the first circumferentially continuous groove, and a second circumferentially extending shoulder rib disposed laterally outside of the second circumferentially continuous groove. The central rib has a plurality of circumferentially spaced sipes arranged in a first circumferential row and a second circumferential row. The sipes of the first row originate at the first circumferentially continuous groove and the sipes of the second row originate at the second circumferentially continuous groove. The sipes of both the first and second rows extend axially inward to a circumferentially extending and continuous variable center groove.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2011Publication date: January 17, 2013Inventors: Francois Pierre Charles Gerard Georges, Didier Winkin, Lothar Braun, Frank Pierre Severens, Claude Pierre Georges, Vincent Benoit Mathonet, Daniel Scheuren

Publication number: 20130014870Abstract: A tread for a pneumatic tire includes a first circumferentially continuous groove, a second circumferentially continuous groove, a third circumferentially continuous groove, a fourth circumferentially continuous groove, a central rib interposed between the second and third axially inner circumferentially continuous grooves, a central rib, a first middle rib, a second middle rib, a first shoulder rib, and a second shoulder rib. The central rib extends continuously around a circumference of the tread. The first middle rib is interposed between the first and second grooves. The first middle rib extends continuously around the circumference of the tread. The second middle rib is interposed between the third and fourth grooves. The second middle rib extends continuously around the circumference of the tread. The first circumferentially extending shoulder rib is disposed laterally outside of the first circumferentially continuous groove.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2011Publication date: January 17, 2013Inventors: Francois Pierre Charles Gerard Georges, Didier Winkin, Lothar Braun, Phuoc Thuan Le
