Patent number: 11305592Abstract: A pneumatic vehicle tire of a radial type of construction with a profiled tread (1), sidewalls (3), bead regions (2) and an airtight inner layer (4), which forms the inner side (4a) facing the interior space of the pneumatic vehicle tire, ribs (6) being formed on the inner layer (4), having been imprinted in it by a heating bladder introduced into the interior of the tire during the vulcanizing of the pneumatic vehicle tire in a tire heating mold, and a sound absorber (5) being provided so as to extend in an annular manner on a circumferential region (4b) of the inner side (4a) opposite from the tread (1). Grooves (7) have been formed by the heating bladder at least in a partial region of the circumferential region (4b) of the inner layer (4a) on which the sound absorber (5) is provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2016Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbHInventor: Oliver Schürmann

Patent number: 10618359Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic vehicle tyre with a sound-absorbing inner absorber (9) adhesively attached in its interior to the inner surface (7) opposite from the tread (1), wherein the inner absorber (9) adheres to an automatically sealing sealant (8), which at least immediately after being applied has the tackiness required for the adhesive attachment. In order not to influence the flow properties of the sealant disadvantageously and in order to ensure a reliable sealing effect of the sealant, a separating layer (10) is arranged between the sealant (8) and the inner absorber (9) and the separating layer (10) is made in such a way as to ensure a sufficient flowability of the sealant (8) for the sealing and a reliable adhesive attachment of the foam ring (9).Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2015Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbHInventors: Andreas Tyburski, Oliver Schürmann, Nermeen Nabih
