Patent number: 10647160Abstract: A pneumatic tire can improve the heat dissipation effect in the tread portion while guaranteeing land portion rigidity and can also suppress degradation of the heat dissipation effect. The pneumatic tire includes a narrow groove (10) on a tread surface (1), extending at an inclination to the tire circumferential direction, the groove width (W1) being smaller than the groove depth (D1), an air inflow part (11) opening to the tread surface (1) and formed on at least one of the groove walls (10c) of the narrow groove (10) that face each other in the tire circumferential direction, and a wear prevention portion (12) formed by a protrusion or concavity on a groove wall (10c) that faces the other groove wall (10c) on which the air inflow part (11) is formed or on the tread surface (1) connecting to the groove wall (10c) that faces the other groove wall (10c).Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2014Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventor: Shun Ogane

Patent number: 9962998Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes a recess formed on a groove wall surface of a circumferential groove opposite to a widthwise groove. A wall surface defined by the recess includes an inclined surface inclined towards the widthwise groove from a tire radial direction outer side towards a tire radial direction inner side and a curved surface connecting a tire radial direction inner end of the inclined surface to a bottom defined by the recess, the curved surface having a center of curvature on the side of the widthwise groove. As a connection point between the inclined surface and the curved surface is at a position in the tire circumferential direction at which a width W of the recess in the tire width direction is smaller, the connection point is located further inward in the tire radial direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2014Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventor: Shun Ogane

Patent number: 9815337Abstract: A tire is a tire in which circumferential grooves, and lug grooves comprising opening portion in tread end and which extend in the tread width direction from the tread end to the circumferential groove, are formed. Projection parts are provided in the groove bottom of the circumferential grooves. The projection parts extend from one side wall forming a circumferential groove to the other side wall opposite the one side wall. Multiple lug grooves are formed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. In the tread surface view of the tire, given points of intersection as the points at which a circumferential groove extension that passes through a circumferential groove intersects with a lug groove extension that passes through a lug groove, the projection parts are provided between a first point of intersection and a second point of intersection adjacent to the first point of intersection in the circumferential direction.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2013Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventors: Kazutaka Matsuzawa, Shun Ogane, Yuki Kawakami
