Patent number: 11059329Abstract: A motorcycle tyre intended to be fitted to the rear wheel of a motorcycle. The motorcycle tyre has a tread pattern with a high void-to-rubber ratio that provides a suitable draining. The tread pattern has pairs of primary grooves to carry out the draining function of the tyre, and arranged substantially according to the stress lines of the tyres to reduce the probability of triggering uneven wear. Also included are secondary grooves having a reduced dimension, in terms of both extension and width, arranged between the primary grooves to increase the grip of the tyre to the ground. Orientation of the secondary grooves increases stabilizing features against drift forces acting on the tyre, particularly in low or very low friction conditions.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2016Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: PIRELLI TYRE S.P.A.Inventors: Pierangelo Misani, Mario Mariani, Luca Bruschelli, Aline Ringis Pin

Patent number: 10792876Abstract: A carcass ply is applied around an outer surface of a building drum according to an application diameter larger than the fitting diameter of a tyre. Coaxially engaged around each of the end flaps is an annular anchoring structure defining the fitting diameter. A pair of sidewalls is manufactured by laying of a continuous elongated element in the form of approached coils on the carcass sleeve. An outer sleeve, including at least one belt structure possibly associated with a tread band, is coaxially centered around the carcass sleeve. Through axial approaching of two halves forming the building drum, the carcass sleeve is shaped into a toroidal configuration to determine application of same against a radially internal surface of the outer sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2017Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: PIRELLI TYRE S.p.A.Inventors: Maurizio Marchini, Gaetano Lo Presti, Gianni Mancini, Pierangelo Misani
