Patent number: 11453256Abstract: The invention is directed to a vehicle pneumatic tire wherein strengthening plies are provided with steel cords running parallel to one another. The belt plies can be used, as isolated electrically conductive plates, for supplying electricity to electrical consumers such as sensors and actuators installed in the tire. Adjacent belt plies can be connected by puncture sensors to be able to identify damage to the belt caused by metallic parts penetrating from the outside, such as nails, on the basis of a change in the electrical resistance.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2021Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbHInventors: Norbert Kendziorra, Christian Weber

Patent number: 9815339Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic vehicle tire (1) of radial design having a carcass (4) and having components (9, 10) which adjoin the carcass (4), wherein thread-shaped elements (11) are arranged on at least one of the two surfaces of the carcass (4) and preferably serve to discharge occluded air between the carcass (4) and the adjoining components (9, 10) during the construction of the tire. In order to improve the electrical conductivity of the pneumatic vehicle tire (1), at least one thread-shaped element (11) has a coating which is electrically conductive and jointly forms an electrically conductive, thread-shaped element (12) which has an electrical resistance of <1×107 Ohm/cm. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the electrically conductive coating.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2011Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: CONTINENTAL REIFEN DEUTSCHLAND GMBHInventors: Michael Schunack, Lars Sonnenberg, Güenter Wahl, Carole Justine, Mehmet Sadettin Fidan, Norbert Kendziorra, Christian Weber
