Publication number: 20210198530Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire including at least one sound absorber adhesively attached to the inner surface opposite the tread in the interior of said tire, wherein the at least one sound absorber adheres to an adhesive, and to an adhesive composition for securing at least one sound absorber to a surface of a pneumatic vehicle tire. The adhesive includes 10% to 80% by weight of at least one rubber, 11% to 80% by weight of at least one polyolefin and 2% to 20% by weight of at least one hydrocarbon resin. The adhesive has optimized flow characteristics and an optimized stickiness.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2018Publication date: July 1, 2021Applicant: Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbHInventors: Mikheil Doroshenko, Andreas Tyburski, Joe Guardalabene, Markus Dahlke, Daniel Mohr, Dean Kleinert, Sherry-Ann Tim Kee

Patent number: 10471781Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire is provided. The tire includes a tread, an inner surface lying opposite the tread, a self-sealing sealant and a sound-absorbing open-cell foam ring arranged inside the pneumatic vehicle tire. The foam ring is adhesively attached to the inner surface and adheres to the self-sealing sealant which is applied before the sound-absorbing open-cell foam ring is attached to the inner surface. The self-sealing sealant has, at least immediately after being applied, a tackiness required for an adhesive attachment of the sound-absorbing open-cell foam ring. A closed-cell material ring is arranged between the sound-absorbing foam ring and the self-sealing sealant to prevent a diffusion of the sealant into the open-cell foam ring. The closed-cell material ring effects an airtight condition.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2016Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbHInventors: Andreas Tyburski, Oliver Schuermann, Michael Schwarz, Joerg Goener, Joe Guardalabene

Publication number: 20190337250Abstract: The invention relates to a self-sealing pneumatic vehicle tire having a belt package (2), a tread (1) arranged radially above the belt package (2) and an airtight inner layer (4) arranged radially on the inside, wherein the self-sealing of the pneumatic vehicle tire is obtained via a sealant layer (5) subsequently applied radially on the inside after the vulcanization of the pneumatic vehicle tire, wherein the sealant layer (5) has essentially the width of the belt package (2) and is arranged essentially in the projection thereof and has a cross section which is formed in a cross-sectional plane including the tire axis and has a surface (5a) running essentially parallel to the belt package in axial direction and a surface (5b) running essentially in radial direction. It is a feature of the invention that at least the surface of the sealant layer (5a) running essentially parallel to the belt package in axial direction has a circumferential coating (6) that contains at least elastomer particles.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2017Publication date: November 7, 2019Applicant: Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbHInventors: Markus Dahlke, Joe Guardalabene, Fabian Schax, Andreas Tyburski

Patent number: 9802446Abstract: Self-sealing tire sealants are provided which contain fragments and/or residues of expanded solids, where the solids are selected from the group containing expandable graphite and microspheres. In some aspects, the microspheres include at least isobutane and/or isopentane as blowing agents. The microspheres may also have a shell containing at least one polymer, and in some cases the polymer is at least one copolymer of acrylonitrile and methyl acrylate. The self-sealing tire sealant may further include graphene structures. In some aspects the interior of a pneumatic vehicle tire has the self-sealing tire sealant disposed on the inner surface, opposite the tire tread, and the layer thickness of the tire sealant may be from 0.5 to 8 mm.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2017Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbHInventors: Markus Dahlke, Dieter Jeromin, Joe Guardalabene, Thomas Völker, Fei Liu, Andreas Tyburski, Martin Convey

Patent number: 8821982Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a tire sealant (C) with a polymeric base. A highly viscous first sealant component (A) (including a natural rubber component that is undiluted or diluted with at least one additional natural rubber component and mixture ingredients that are free of a solvent and an activator) is mixed with at least one second sealant component (B) (comprising a separately produced medium with low viscosity containing at least one activator), to combine to the tire sealant (C), wherein a cross linking occurs associated with the subsequent application of the tire sealant (C) to the inside of the tire. Appropriate method steps are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2009Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbHInventors: Stefan Sostmann, Martin Welzhofer, Joe Guardalabene, Casper Van De Pol
