Patent number: 9440500Abstract: A pneumatic tire in which a cavity resonance sound is reduced while punctures are easily repaired with a puncture sealant. The pneumatic tire has a fibrous region where short fibers are bonded onto an inner surface of the tire. A circumferential fiberless region where short fibers are not bonded onto the inner surface of the tire extends circumferentially between both ends of a tread ground contact area.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2014Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventors: Toshiyuki Watanabe, Yoshiyuki Waki, Taiga Ishihara, Hidetoshi Yokota, Seiji Ishikawa, Kento Hirohata, Akio Kusano

Publication number: 20140166179Abstract: A pneumatic tire with short fibers fixed to the inner surface of the tire with improved peel resistance, and a method of producing such a pneumatic tire. The pneumatic tire has a carcass toroidally extending from a tread portion along a pair of sidewall portions to a pair of bead portions, and bead fillers provided radially outwardly of bead cores embedded in the bead portions, including flocking areas in which many short fibers are fixed to at least part of an inner surface of the pneumatic tire with an adhesive. The flocking areas are positioned such that their tire radial direction inner ends are positioned inwardly in the tire radial direction as compared to the tire radial direction outer ends of the bead fillers and are spaced a given distance outward in the tire radial direction apart from bead toes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2013Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventors: Toshiyuki WATANABE, Yoshiyuki WAKI, Taiga ISHIHARA, Hidetoshi YOKOTA, Seiji ISHIKAWA, Ietomo MATSUNAGA, Akio KUSANO, Hiroshi TAKADA, Akane MIYOSHI

Patent number: 8028796Abstract: The present invention provides an assembly of a tire and a rim, which assembly has on the tire inner cavity side thereof a sound absorbing member capable of effectively suppressing cavity resonance and reducing road noise, while suppressing increase in weight of the tire and increase in volume of the sound absorbing member. In this assembly of a tire and a rim, the sound absorbing member is mounted on the inner cavity side of the tire as a sound absorbing layer for suppressing cavity resonance inside the tire. The sound absorbing member is unwoven cloth made of plural fibers, and the average distance d between fibers constituting the unwoven cloth is within the range of 0.50? to 4.00?.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2008Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventor: Taiga Ishihara
