Abstract: A combination radial tire for heavy load vehicles comprising a thread portion consisting of a combination of a belt composed of at least two metal cord layers and a carcass composed of at least two organic textile cord plies. In the lower half region of the carcass located at a bead portion, at least one additional reinforcing layer is interposed between the carcass plies and/or another additional reinforcing layer is interposed between the carcass ply and rubber stocks sandwiched between the carcass ply and its turn-up portion, these additional reinforcing layers being extended in parallel with the carcass ply cords and including organic textile cords.

Abstract: A heavy duty pneumatic radial tire comprises a carcass of a substantially radial construction composed of at least one rubberized ply layer containing cords embedded therein and a belt superimposed about said carcass for stiff reinforcement beneath a tread and composed of at least two rubberized ply layers each containing metal cords embedded therein, said metal cords of which being crossed with each other at a relatively small angle with respect to the circumferential direction of tire, and said tread being provided with a plurality of continuous or discontinuous zigzag circumferential ribs defined along the widthwise direction of tire by at least three, substantially zigzag main grooves extending circumferentially of said tread, said main grooves comprising one or a pair of central circumferential grooves located at a substantially central region of said tread and a pair of outside circumferential grooves defining each of outermost ribs of said tread.

Abstract: A heavy duty pneumatic low-sectional radial tire having an aspect ratio of not more than 0.8 is disclosed, which comprises a pair of bead portions, a pair of side portions, a tread portion extending across the side portions, and a reinforcement for a tire casing composed of at least one carcass ply extending across two bead cores and turning up around the bead core and containing cords embedded therein in a substantially radial direction of the tire, each cord having a modulus of not less than 4,000 kg/mm.sup.2, and a belt of at least two layers, each layer containing metal cords embedded therein, superimposed around a crown portion of the carcass and crossing with each other at a relatively small angle with respect to the equatorial line of the tire. In this tire, a carcass line of the tire casing at a temporarily mounted posture on a normal rim under an internal pressure of 0.5 kg/cm.sup.

Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire for heavy load vehicles comprising a body reinforcement and a bead portion reinforcement, in which the bead portion reinforcement substantially continuously covers the carcass ply wound around a bead core up to the inside of the tire, the upper end of the turn-up portion of the carcass ply and the outside upper end of the bead portion reinforcement covering the upper end of the carcass ply are arranged at an area other than a bead portion flexible region defined by two segments BC and AD as shown in attached FIG. 3, the bead portion reinforcement makes use of a cord having a modulus which corresponds to 15 to 60% of that of the ply cord of the carcass, and a tension at 100% elongation of a soft stiffener corresponds to 5 to 30% of that of a hard stiffener, the soft and hard stiffeners being disposed on the bead core one upon the other.

Abstract: A radial tire provided with a tread pattern suitable for travel on paved roads at a high speed is disclosed.The tread pattern is of a block-rib type which is constructed to satisfy the following conditions, i.e.(1) W.sub.1 =(5-9%) TW(2) W.sub.2 =(0.5-2.5%) TW(3) 60% BW.gtoreq.A and A.gtoreq.20% TW(4) B.sub.2 =(1.0-2.0) B.sub.1where W.sub.1 is a width of a wide circumferential groove, TW is a tread width, W.sub.2 is a width of a narrow circumferential groove, BW is an effective width of a belt, A is a width of a tread center portion, B.sub.1 is a tread side portion facing the tread center portion and B.sub.2 is a tread side portion facing two shoulder portions.

Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire for heavy vehicles comprising in combination two wide zigzag circumferential main grooves for dividing a tread into a center region and two side regions, a narrow zigzag groove for dividing each region into two portions, and a branch groove located in the center region and connected to the main and narrow grooves to define blocks and satisfying the following requirements, i.e.(1) each main groove has a width which is 5 to 9% of the width of the tread, is substantially U-shaped in cross-section and has a wall defined by a bent or wavy line whose pitch is 0.3 to 1.3 times the width of the main groove and a swing width within a range from 0.1 to 1.0 times the width of the main groove, and(2) the branch groove has a depth which is 14 to 36% of the depth of the main groove.

Abstract: A gasket for use in the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine comprises a metallic spacer member which is fitted into each through bore or clearance hole of the gasket for insertion of the shank of a a head bolt, said spacer member having a height dimension taken in the thickness direction of the gasket that is smaller than the gasket thickness gained when the gasket is compressed by normal fastening of the head bolt.

Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire so constructed as to reduce a breaker interlayer shearing strain without adding any particular supplemental reinforcing layer is disclosed. The radial tire has an initial sectional shape which satisfies the following conditions.1. R.sub.1 /R.sub.1' .ltoreq. 0.82. r.sub.2 /w / r.sub.2' /w' .gtoreq. 1.53. modulus of a breaker cord .gtoreq. 10 .times. 10.sup.3 Kg/mm.sup.2, and4. Breaker cord angle .ltoreq. 25.degree.Where R.sub.1 is a radius of curvature of an outer profile of a carcass in a vertical center section through a rotational axis of the tire on a normal line to an outer curved surface through a widthwise end of a crown before the inside of the tire is pressurized, R.sub.1' is its corresponding radius of curvature after the inside of the tire has been pressurized, R.sub.2 is a radius of curvature of an outer profile of the crown in the vertical center section through the rotational axis of the tire before the inside of the tire is pressurized, R.sub.
