Publication number: 20100132859Abstract: The invention relates to a tire having tread of a cap/base configuration. The tread contains a thin electrically conductive rubber strip in the form of an extension of said tread base rubber layer which extends radially outward from the tread base rubber layer through an electrically resistive tread cap rubber layer to and including its running surface circumferentially around the tread to thereby provide a path of electrical conductivity through the tread cap layer to its running surface. The composite of the electrically non-conductive tread cap rubber layer and electrically conductive strip at the running surface of the tire tread have a similar abradability.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2008Publication date: June 3, 2010Inventors: Pascal Patrick Steiner, Marc Weybert, Peter Phelps Roch, Alain Joseph Jose Godefroid, Jean-Nicolas Helt

Patent number: 7544053Abstract: A tire mold and a molding device for forming a sunken groove in a tire are provided. The molding device includes one or more rigid elements joined to a flexible member. The flexible member is formed from a flexible material, preferably a superalloy, or hyperelastic material. The molding device may further comprise a magnet. A portion of the flexible member is positioned in contact with a first surface of a relief forming element of a mold and the rigid element has a mating surface in mating contact with a second surface of the relief forming element. The mold further may further comprise a second relief forming element positioned adjacent the first relief forming element, wherein the rigid element further includes an outer surface in mating contact with a surface of said second relief forming element.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2007Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Assignee: The Goodyear Tire and Rubber CompanyInventors: Gia-Van Nguyen, Alain Emile Francois Roesgen, Peter Phelps Roch, Anne-France Gabrielle Jeanne-Marie Cambron, Yacine Ouyahia, Yvan Sac, Francis Bartholome, Gerard Louis Marie Schmit, Joel Andre Ghislain Delogne, Guy Jacobs, Raymond Marie Joseph Ghislain Houba, Bernard Marie Henin

Patent number: 7544054Abstract: A tire mold and a molding device for forming a sunken groove in a tire are provided. The molding device includes one or more rigid elements joined to a flexible member along an attachment point or line on the connecting surface of the rigid element. The flexible member is formed from a flexible material, preferably a superalloy, or hyperelastic material. If multiple rigid elements are utilized, the rigid elements are closely spaced together such that a portion of the opposed walls are in mating contact with an adjacent rigid element.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2007Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Gia-Van Nguyen, Alain Emile Francois Roesgen, Anne-France Gabrielle Jeanne-Marie Cambron, Peter Phelps Roch, Marc Ernest Ginter

Patent number: 7249620Abstract: A tire with a changing tread pattern is formed by first forming a tire having a tread, the tread having at least one circumferential or lateral groove. A wearable filler, having a configuration corresponding to at least a portion of the circumferential or lateral groove formed in the tire, is located in the radially outer portion of the circumferential or lateral groove or a portion of the circumferential or lateral groove, and secured within the grooves so as to create a groove void radially inward of the wearable filler, the void being exposed upon wear of the tire tread.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2004Date of Patent: July 31, 2007Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Bernard Croissant, Claude Jacque, Alain Emile Francois Roesgen, Peter Phelps Roch, Marc Weydert, Marc Ernest Ginter, Andrew Frederick Weimer, Gia Van Nguyen, Anne-France Gabrielle Jeanne-Marie Cambron

Patent number: 6951139Abstract: A stress sensor includes two capacitor plates held in a spaced-apart relationship by a connector block situated therebetween. The connector block includes a plurality of rods protruding from opposite connector block sides and extending into a respective capacitor plate to attach peripheral portions of each capacitor plate to the connector block. A small air gap is maintained between peripheral portions of the capacitor plates by the inclusion of a spacer member. Terminal end portions of the protruding rods are deformed such as by the application of heat over an outer surface of the capacitor plates to retain the capacitor plates in a fixed mutual relationship. The terminal end portions of the rods further serve to prevent horizontal or vertical slippage between the capacitor plates when the sensor is vulcanized into rubber compounds such as in a tire.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2003Date of Patent: October 4, 2005Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber CompanyInventors: Rene Francois Reuter, Claude Ernest Félix Boes, Peter Phelps Roch, Rene Jean Zimmer, Damian Georges
