Patent number: 11642917Abstract: Tire comprising at least one working layer (41). The radially outermost one thereof comprises at least one undulation (412) radially on the outside of the points of the working layer (41) that are in line with the centre of the bottom face (243) of the major groove (24) closest to undulation (412). The undulation (412) of the radially outermost working layer (41) is such that, over at least 10% of the radially outer surface (ROS) of the said working layer (41), the radial distance (do) between the radially outer surface (ROS) and the tread surface (21) is at least 1 mm less than the radial distance (dc) between the radially outer surface (ROS) and the tread surface (21), which is the distance in line with the centre of the bottom face (243) of the major groove (24) closest to the said undulation (412).Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELINInventors: Richard Abinal, Mathieu Albouy, François-Xavier Bruneau, Cyril Charreire, Pierre Fevrier, Patrick Pallot

Patent number: 11560020Abstract: A tire (1) for a vehicle has a tread surface having a transverse radius RT and comprises a crown layer (3) that comprises at least one undulation (312) in line with a rib (26). The undulation (312) is such that it is radially on the outside of the points of the undulated layer in line with the center of the bottom face of the circumferential furrow (25) closest to the undulation (312) and has an amplitude at least equal to 1 mm. The radial distance (da) between at least one contact edge corner of a rib (26) in line with which an undulation is located and the transverse radius RT of the rib is at least equal to 0.2 mm and at most equal to 2 mm.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2018Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELINInventors: Pierre Fevrier, Richard Abinal, Mathieu Albouy, Francois-Xavier Bruneau, Cyril Charreire, Patrick Pallot

Patent number: 11453242Abstract: Tire comprising major grooves with a depth at least equal to 4 mm and with a width at least equal to 1 mm. The radially outermost working layer (41) comprises at least one undulation (412). The undulation (412) is such that the undulation (412) portion of the working layer (41) represents at least 10% of the surface of the working layer (41), has an amplitude of at least 1 mm and is radially on the outside of the points of the working layer (41) that are in line with the bottom face (243) of the major groove (24) closest (412). All the layers of material (3, 6, 7) making up the radial stack of the crown structure (S) have mean surfaces parallel to that of the radially outermost working layer (41).Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSMENTS MICHELINInventors: Richard Abinal, Mathieu Albouy, François-Xavier Bruneau, Cyril Charreire, Pierre Fevrier, Patrick Pallot

Publication number: 20220176746Abstract: A tire comprises, in the central part of its crown, at least one undulation (51) with a radial amplitude A of the radially outermost crown layer, circumferential furrows (24) and open grooves (25), some of these grooves being radially on the outside of the undulation (51). At least 50% of these grooves (25) are said to be adapted to the undulation. An open groove adapted to the undulation which it is radially on the outside of is such that the intersection points Ps of the bottom curve Cf of said groove and of the furrows (24) are at a distance from the radially outermost point Pext of said bottom curve Cf by a radial distance d2 at least equal to one third of the radial amplitude (A/3) of the undulation (51) and such that the curve Cf increases radially from the intersection points Ps to the point Pext.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2020Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: VINCENT TOURNEUX, DANIEL FABING, PATRICE FRAYSSE, MATHIEU ALBOUY, FRANCOIS CHAMBRIARD

Publication number: 20210260925Abstract: The invention is a tire comprising a crown comprising at least one layer of reinforcing elements. The radially outermost layer comprises at least one undulation (512). The undulations (512) in the radially outermost layer (5) are such that the points of the undulations are radially on the outside of the points of said layer (5) that are vertically beneath the centre of the bottom face (243) of the closest major groove (24) by at least a radial distance of 1.5 mm. The undulations (512) in the radially outermost crown layer make up at least 10% of the radially outer surface (ROS) of said crown layer (5). A rubber compound with a dynamic modulus G*, measured at 40° C. at 10% peak-to-peak strain at 10 Hz, that is at most equal to 3.25 MPa, makes up at least 30% of the rubber compounds vertically above said undulations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2019Publication date: August 26, 2021Inventors: François-Xavier BRUNEAU, Mathieu ALBOUY, Daniel FABING, Patrice FRAYSSE, Vincent TOURNEUX
