  • Publication number: 20240131866
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire comprises: a tread portion having a ground contacting surface; a sidewall portions having an outer surface; a bead portions; a carcass extending between the bead portions; and an inner rubber extending between bead portions. The inner rubber comprises a first portion extending through the tread portion with a first thickness t1, and a second portion extending through the sidewall portion with a second thickness t2. The first thickness t1 is more than the second thickness t2. In a meridian cross section of the tire under its normal state, when a first reference point (Pb1), a second reference point (Pb2), a shoulder reference point (Ps), a reference line segment (Lb), and a shoulder line segment (Ls) are defined, then a length (L1) of the shoulder line segment (Ls) is 85.9% to 89.3% of a length (L2) of the reference line segment (Lb).

  • Patent number: 11879631
    Abstract: A right side portion, which is a light emitting device, comprises a side light guide plate and a front light guide plate as a plurality of light guide plates in which light is reflected by a prism and emitted from a light emitting surface. The side light guide plate and the front light guide plate are disposed in a row in a state in which the angles of the light emitting surfaces differ between adjacent light guide plates and the ends of adjacent light guide plates are butted against each other. An LED board is disposed at the end of the side light guide plate, and the end surface of one of the ends of the side light guide plate and the front light guide plate that are abutted against each other is formed as an inclined surface with a reflection function that changes the angle at which the light is guided and causes the light to be incident on the adjacent light guide plate.
