  • Patent number: 8813467
    Abstract: A tire includes at least one structural element which includes at least one reinforcing element which includes at least one hybrid yarn, the at least one hybrid yarn including a plurality of filaments obtained from at least one first multifilament yarn having a first initial tangent modulus and at least one second multifilament yarn having a second initial tangent modulus, the first and the second initial tangent modulus being different from each other, each one of the first and the second multifilament yarn including a plurality of individual filaments, the individual filaments of each one of the first and the second multifilament yarns being at least partially intermixed with each other. The tire may be a high performance or ultra high performance tire, or a tire suitable for being employed in sporting contests such as track motor races, or a tire suitable for sports utility vehicles.

  • Patent number: 5140841
    Abstract: In a textile machine including needles for forming a plurality of warp yarns into stitches and a guide bar for guiding the warp yarns to the needles, the guide bar is constructed to lay warp yarns in patterns without moving the entire guide bar by providing the guide bar with at least one guide block movable relative to a fixed point on the guide bar. Each of the guide blocks includes a respective guide for one or more warp yarns. At least one guide block is connected in a chain configuration to at least one distance altering element, and the distance altering element is controlled to variably alter the distance between the guide block and the fixed point.
