Patent number: 10081145Abstract: In each protrusion-forming recess of a mold, a non-through-hole vent is provided at one end side, and a through-hole vent that is longer than the non-through-hole vent is provided at another end side. When there is an ingress of rubber of a green tire into each protrusion-forming recess, air inside the protrusion-forming recess is discharged through the through-hole vent and the minute amount of air remaining inside escapes to the non-through-hole vent. Each through-hole vent is set with a large capacity, enabling an ingress of rubber into the vent hole that will later become spew to be stopped inside the through-hole vent. Since the volume of air that is trapped inside the protrusion-forming recess is a minute amount, and so the volume of air that escapes into the non-through-hole vent is also a minute amount.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2015Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventor: Kazuya Kuroishi

Patent number: 8739849Abstract: Provided is a pneumatic tire including at least a turbulent flow generation projection configured to generate a turbulent flow, the turbulent flow generation projection being arranged in a range from a maximum tire width position to an outside bead position, the maximum tire width position being a position on a tire surface with maximum tire width, and the outside bead position being a position on an outside of a bead portion in a tire radial direction, the bead portion configured to be in contact with a rim flange. The turbulent flow generation projection includes a radial projection extending along the tire radial direction, and a circumferential projection extending in an approximately circular arc shape along a tire circumferential direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2008Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventor: Kazuya Kuroishi

Publication number: 20130292025Abstract: A pneumatic tire (10) is provided with turbulence generating projections (100) extending in a tire radial direction and arranged in the tire side portion (30) located between the tread (20) and beads. If the length of each turbulence generating projection (100) in the radial direction of the tire is L, the Young's modulus of the material which forms the turbulence generating projection (100) is E, and the second moment of area of a cross section of the turbulence generating projection (100) taken perpendicularly to the extending direction of the projection is I, the turbulence generating projections (100) satisfy the relationship of L2?3.5×E×I. The configuration assures the effect of heat dissipation of the tire side portion and minimizes deformation of the turbulence generating projections caused by oil flying from the outside.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuya KUROISHI, Kenji TOYODA

Patent number: 8171968Abstract: A construction vehicle tire, in which a temperature rise at the tread portion is suppressed by enhancing the heat radiation property at the tire center portion (C). Lug grooves (22) are arranged in the tread shoulder regions (S) on both sides in the tire width direction. The tire center portion (C) is formed with narrow grooves (24) extending substantially in the tire width direction (V) and having both ends terminating within the tread. A deep equatorial groove (26) extends in the tire circumferential direction on the tire equatorial plane (CL), and has a maximum depth within the range of from 70% to 110% of the depth of the lug grooves (22), so as to efficiently cool the bottom region (26B) of the deep equatorial groove (26) at high temperature.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2007Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventors: Kazuya Kuroishi, Takumi Inoue

Publication number: 20100294412Abstract: Provided is a pneumatic tire which is provided with a turbulent flow generation projection for generating a turbulent flow at least in a portion of a surface of the tire and has an outer diameter of not less than 2 m The turbulent flow generation projection extends linearly or curvilinearly along a tire radial direction. A relationship of h=?{1/(V/R)}×coefficient ? is satisfied where “h” is a projection height (mm) from the surface of the tire to a most protruded position of the turbulent flow generation projection, “V” is a speed of a vehicle (km/h), “R” is a tire outer diameter (m), provided that coefficient ?=27.0 to 29.5.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2008Publication date: November 25, 2010Applicant: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventors: Takumi Inoue, Kazuya Kuroishi, Kenji Araki
