  • Publication number: 20190358921
    Abstract: The assembly (24) comprises: a first structure (10) extending in a first overall direction (G1), a second structure (12), and a bearing structure (30) comprising filamentary bearing elements (32) comprising at least one filamentary bearing portion (74) extending between the first structure (10) and the second structure (12), the first structure (10) being arranged such that, for a length at rest L of the first structure (10) in the first overall direction (G1), the elongation at maximum force Art of the first structure in the first overall direction (G1) satisfies: Art?(2?×H)/L, in which H0×K?H where H0 is the mean straight-line distance between an internal face (42) of the first structure (10) and an internal face (46) of the second structure (12) when each filamentary bearing portion (74) is at rest, and K=0.50.

  • Publication number: 20180117970
    Abstract: Hooping layer (71) of a passenger vehicle tire has a force at break FR per mm of axial width of the hooping layer at least equal to 35 daN/mm, an elongation at break AR at least equal to 5%, and a secant extension modulus MA at least equal to 250 daN/mm, for an applied force F equal to 15% of FR. Working reinforcement (6) comprises single working layer (61) the working reinforcers of which form, with circumferential direction (YY?), an angle AT at least equal to 30° and at most equal to 50°. The carcass reinforcers of at least one carcass layer (81) form, with circumferential direction (YY?) and in equatorial plane (XZ), angle AC2 at least equal to 55° and at most equal to 80° and having an orientation opposite to angle AT of the working reinforcers so that the carcass reinforcers and the working reinforcers constitute a triangulation.

  • Publication number: 20170327976
    Abstract: A textile cord (50) with at least triple twist (T1, T2, T3) comprises at least N strands (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d), N being greater than 1, twisted together with a final twist T3 and a final direction D2, each strand being made up of M pre-strands (10a, 10b, 10c), M being greater than 1, themselves twisted together with an intermediate twist T2 (T2a, T2b, T2c, T2d) and an intermediate direction D1 opposite to D2, each pre-strand itself consisting of a yarn (5) which has been twisted on itself beforehand with an initial twist T1 (T1a, T1b, T1c) and the direction D1, in which at least half of the N times M yarns have an initial elastic modulus denoted Mi which is greater than 800 cN/tex. This textile cord can advantageously be used as a reinforcer in tires for vehicles, particularly in the belt or carcass reinforcement of these tires.

  • Publication number: 20170327977
    Abstract: An aramid textile cord (50) with at least triple twist (T1, T2, T3) comprises at least N strands (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d), N being greater than 1, twisted together with a final twist T3 and a final direction D2, each strand being made up of M pre-strands (10a, 10b, 10c), M being greater than 1, themselves twisted together with an intermediate twist T2 (T2a, T2b, T2c, T2d) and an intermediate direction D1 opposite to D2, each pre-strand itself consisting of a yarn (5) which has been twisted on itself beforehand with an initial twist T1 (T1a, T1b, T1c) and the direction D1, in which at least half of the N times M yarns are aramid yarns. This textile cord can advantageously be used as a reinforcer in tires for vehicles, particularly in the belt or carcass reinforcement of these tires.

  • Publication number: 20170327978
    Abstract: A high modulus textile cord (50) with at least triple twist (T1, T2, T3) comprises at least N strands (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d), N being greater than 1, twisted together with a final twist T3 and a final direction D2, each strand being made up of M pre-strands (10a, 10b, 10c), M being greater than 1, themselves twisted together with an intermediate twist T2 (T2a, T2b, T2c, T2d) and an intermediate direction D1 opposite to D2, each pre-strand itself consisting of a yarn (5) which has been twisted on itself beforehand with an initial twist T1 (T1a, T1b, T1c) and the direction D1, in which at least half of the N times M yarns have an initial elastic modulus denoted Mi which is greater than 2000 cN/tex. This textile cord can advantageously be used as a reinforcer in tires for vehicles, particularly in the belt or carcass reinforcement of these tires.

  • Publication number: 20170021677
    Abstract: Tire (10) comprises a knit (44) comprising: columns of loops, the loops of one and the same column being arranged one after the other substantially in an overall direction referred to as the main direction and rows of said loops, the loops of one and the same row being arranged one beside the other substantially in an overall direction referred to as the transverse direction. The knit (44) comprises first and second zones (451, 452), each respectively having, at least in one of the main or transverse directions, a force FT100 and FS100 at 100% elongation that satisfies FS100<FT100, each force FT100 and FS100 being determined from a force-elongation curve obtained by applying standard ISO 13934-1:2013 to the knit before it is incorporated into the tire (10).

  • Publication number: 20170001474
    Abstract: A tire that comprises a knit (44) comprising: columns (C1, C2, C3, C4) of loops (B), the loops (B) of one and the same column (C1, C2, C3, C4) being arranged one after the other substantially in an overall direction (X1) referred to as the main direction; and rows (R1, R2, R3, R4) of loops, the loops (B) of one and the same row (R1, R2, R3, R4) being arranged one beside the other substantially in an overall direction (Z1) referred to as the transverse direction. The knit (44) has, in the main overall direction (X1) and/or the transverse overall direction (Z1), a force at 100% elongation greater than or equal to 250 N, the force at 100% elongation being determined from a force-elongation curve obtained by applying standard ISO 13934-1:2013 to the knit (44) embedded in a standard elastomer matrix.

  • Publication number: 20160325589
    Abstract: The tire (10) comprises at least one set (45) of at least two layers of at least one knit (441, 442), the two layers being at least partially superposed on one another. The knit (441, 442) comprises: columns of loops arranged one after the other substantially in an overall direction (X1) referred to as the main direction, rows of loops arranged one beside the other substantially in an overall direction (Z1) referred to as the transverse direction. The knit (441, 442) has a force at 100% elongation less than or equal to 40 N·row?1 and/or 40 N·column?1, the force at 100% elongation being determined from a force-elongation curve obtained by applying standard ISO 13934-1:2013 to the or each knit (441, 442) embedded in the standard elastomer matrix and the number of rows and/or columns being measured in accordance with standard NF EN 14971.
