Patent number: 9751364Abstract: A multilayer laminate, which is usable as a reinforcing element for a finished article or for a semifinished product made of rubber, such as a tire, includes at least one polymer film having, in any tensile direction in the film's plane, a Young's modulus that is greater than 500 MPa. The film is positioned between and in contact with two layers formed of a rubber composition, such as natural rubber. Each layer formed of the rubber composition exhibits, in a crosslinked state, a secant modulus that, in extension at 10% elongation, is greater than 30 MPa, with between 30 and 150 MPa being preferable for the secant modulus.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2013Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELINInventors: Jean-Michel Huyghe, Christophe Le Clerc, Aline Riou, Anne-Lise Thuilliez

Patent number: 8291953Abstract: Tire comprising at least one carcass-type reinforcing structure (6) anchored on each side of the tire. The anchoring includes a turning up of the carcass-type reinforcing structure around a bead core (15) in such a way as to form a turned-up section (8). The tire also includes at least one circumferential bielastic reinforcing element (10) made of a bielastic fabric, in which the fabric employed is a bielastic knitted fabric, that is a stitched fabric in which the loops forming the stitches are capable of moving relative to each other. The at least one bielastic reinforcing element (10) being arranged so as to extend substantially parallel along a portion of the reinforcing structure (6) which is situated in that region of the bead (4) of the tire that is axially outward relative to the reinforcing structure, in the immediate vicinity of the latter.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2007Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Michelin Recherche et Technique S.A.Inventor: Jean-Michel Huyghe

Publication number: 20090107607Abstract: Tire comprising at least one carcass-type reinforcing structure (6) anchored on each side of the tire in a bead (4). The anchoring includes a turning up of said carcass-type reinforcing structure around a bead core (15) in such a way as to form a turned-up section (8) ending in a free end (13). The tire also includes at least one circumferential bielastic reinforcing element (10) made of a bielastic fabric, in which said fabric employed is a bielastic knitted fabric, that is to say a stitched fabric, the loops forming the stitches of which are able to move relative to each other in the knitting direction and in the direction perpendicular to the knitting. The at least one bielastic reinforcing element (10) is arranged so as to extend along the end region of the turned-up section of the carcass-type reinforcing structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2007Publication date: April 30, 2009Inventor: Jean-Michel Huyghe
