Patent number: 11090983Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes a land portion having a circumferential direction sipe extending in a direction inclined with respect to the tire circumferential direction, a partial land portion positioned on at least one of the land portion partitioned with the circumferential direction sipe, and a plurality of cross sipes extending in a direction intersecting with the circumferential direction sipe in the partial land portion. The partial land portion includes a wide end portion and a narrow end portion. The plurality of cross sipes include a wide portion sipe located closest to a wide end of the partial land portion, and a narrow portion sipe located closest to a narrow end of the partial land portion. The wide portion sipe has a distal end positioned in a sipe projection portion, and the narrow portion sipe has a distal end positioned in a non-sipe projection portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: TOYO TIRE CORPORATIONInventor: Nobuyuki Kamada

Publication number: 20070212435Abstract: A tire mold is for vulcanization molding of a tire. The mold comprises a sector with which a tread surface of the tire is brought into contact. A first uneven surface for forming a tread pattern is provided at the contact position. A lower die with which a side wall portion of the tire is brought into contact has a second uneven surface for forming a pattern design continuously with the tread pattern. There is a sector moving mechanism that moves the sector in a tire width direction and a tire diametrical direction. There is also a mechanism for engaging the sector and the lower die in a mold clamp state.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2007Publication date: September 13, 2007Applicant: TOYO TIRE & RUBBER CO., LTD.Inventor: Nobuyuki KAMADA
