  • Patent number: 7926529
    Abstract: A tire for heavy equipment of the heavy-vehicle, agricultural or construction machinery type, includes a carcass reinforcement surmounted radially by a crown reinforcement, itself covered radially by a tread, the tread being connected to two beads by two sidewalls. The tread is formed, at least in its radially outward part, of an expanded elastomer mix whose specific gravity is less than 02.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7252128
    Abstract: A tire includes a radial carcass reinforcement radially surmounted by a crown reinforcement composed of at least two working crown plies formed of metallic reinforcement elements crossed from one ply to the next and forming with the circumferential direction angles of between 10 and 35°. Also provided is at least one additional reinforcement, formed of at least two circumferentially oriented layers of metallic elements of a compacted diameter at most equal to 0.6 mm.

  • Patent number: 6910513
    Abstract: A tire P, which is intended to be mounted on a rim, the seats of which form an angle with the axis of rotation of between 0° and 6°, and comprises a radial carcass reinforcement (1) anchored within each bead B to a bead wire (2) so forming an upturn (10), said bead wire (2) being radially surmounted, axially between the main portion of the reinforcement (1) and its upturn (10), by at least one rubber mix profile (3) substantially triangular in form and of an elevated Shore A hardness, wherein the meridian profile of the axially outer surface of each bead B, exhibiting an abrupt discontinuity of curvature, is combined with the presence above the bead wire of a rubber mix profile (3) of elevated hardness, said profile (3) being axially in contact over its entire height with the upturn (10) of the carcass reinforcement (1) and separated from the main portion of said reinforcement (1) by a low hardness rubber mix profile (4), while a third profile (5), axially to the outside of the upturn (10), consists of a mix
