  • Patent number: 11731458
    Abstract: Described herein is a resilient tyre (1) designed to be used on industrial and construction machinery, said resilient tyre (1) comprising a plurality of circular layers of elastic material set on top of one another in the radial direction, said layers forming, proceeding from the centre of the resilient tyre (1) towards the periphery, an inner portion referred to as base (2), an outer portion referred to as tread (3), and two lateral surfaces (4, 4?) with height (Q). The resilient tyre (1) comprises a plurality of cushioning holes (7) made in both of the lateral surfaces (4, 4?) of the resilient tyre (1), said cushioning holes (7) substantially having a wing-like shape.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210129595
    Abstract: A solid tire (4; 8) is described comprising two or more circular layers overlapped in a radial direction. At least the outermost layer is made of elastic material and consists of an external portion or tread (16). The solid tire (4; 8) furthermore comprises at least one layer for indicating excessive wear (10), arranged in a predefined position inside the outermost portion or tread (16). The layer for indicating excessive wear (10) is made in a colour different from the one of the external portion or tread (16). The layer for indicating excessive wear (10) is made with a specific compound of materials. This specific compound of materials makes the layer for indicating excessive wear (10) easy to see. This specific compound of materials also makes the solid tire (4; 8) less hysteretic, and therefore less subject to the development of heat, when compared to similar solid tires.

  • Publication number: 20140041774
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a solid tyre (10?) comprising a plurality of circular layers of elastic material overlapping in the radial direction, said layers forming, proceeding from the centre towards the periphery of the tyre, an internal portion or heel (11), an intermediate portion or middle (12) and an external portion or tread (13), wherein, between said intermediate portion or middle (12) and said external portion or tread (13) a layer is interposed of indication of excessive wear (17), having a different colour with respect to that of said tread (13) and made of a material, or a mixture of materials, identical to that of said tread (13), except for the components needed to obtain a different colour.

  • Publication number: 20090165915
    Abstract: A tire includes: a carcass structure including at least one carcass ply, of a substantially toroidal shape, having opposite lateral edges associated with respective right-hand and left-hand bead structures, the bead structures including at least one bead core and at least one bead filler; a belt structure applied in a radially external position with respect to the carcass structure; a tread band radially superimposed on the belt structure; a pair of sidewalls applied laterally on opposite sides with respect to the carcass structure; at least one layer including a crosslinked elastomeric material having air barrier properties, wherein the crosslinked elastomeric material is obtained by crosslinking a crosslinkable elastomeric composition including: (a) 10 phr or 100 phr, preferably 20 phr to 60 phr, of at least one butyl rubber; (b) 0 phr to 90 phr, preferably 40 phr to 80 phr, of at least one diene elastomeric polymer; (c) 5 phr to 120 phr, preferably 15 phr to 90 phr, of at least one reinforcing filler; (d)
