  • Publication number: 20220339970
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire has a sidewall that extends in a tire radial direction. The the sidewall has an insignia which protrudes toward an exterior in a tire axial direction. The insignia has a strip-like body, an endless-loop-like outline which encompasses the body, and a bridge which is arranged toward an exterior from the endless loop of the outline and which causes a mutually separated pair of the outlines to be mutually connected. Heights by which the body and the outline protrude relative to a reference surface which is an exterior surface in a region peripheral to the insignia are mutually different. A height by which the bridge protrudes relative to the reference surface is less than each of the protruding heights of the body and the outline.

  • Publication number: 20220339971
    Abstract: A plurality of side blocks each has a high protruding portion, an amount by which the high protruding portion protrudes relative to a reference surface which is an exterior surface in a region peripheral to an insignia being not less than a maximum amount by which the insignia protrudes relative to the reference surface. The plurality of side blocks include a first side block which as viewed in the tire radial direction appears to overlap the insignia, and a second side block which as viewed in the tire radial direction appears not to overlap the insignia. An inner end in the tire radial direction of the high protruding portion of the first side block is separated in the tire radial direction from the insignia, and a portion of the high protruding portion of the second side block appears to overlap the insignia as viewed in the tire circumferential direction.

  • Publication number: 20220302341
    Abstract: A light-emitting device comprising a package comprising a light-emitting element comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, a first light-transmissive member arranged on the second surface of the light-emitting element, paired electrodes at the first surface of the light-emitting element, and a first covering member covering the light-emitting element such that the paired electrodes are exposed from the first covering member. The light-emitting device further comprises a light-guiding plate on which the package is placed, and a second covering member arranged on the light-guiding plate and covering laterally the package. The light-emitting device further comprises paired wirings continuously covering the paired electrodes exposed and the first covering members and being connected to the paired electrodes respectively.

  • Patent number: 11380817
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a light-emitting device includes preparing an intermediate product; the product includes a light-emitting element provided with paired electrodes at a first surface and a first covering member covering the light-emitting element such that portions of surfaces of the paired electrodes are exposed. A metal paste layer is formed, continuously covering the exposed portion of the paired electrodes and the first covering member. Paired wirings are formed for preventing the paired electrodes from being short-circuited. The metal paste layer on the paired electrodes and the metal paste layer on the first covering member are irradiated with laser light to remove the metal paste layer between the paired electrodes and a portion of the metal paste layer on the first covering member.

  • Publication number: 20220016942
    Abstract: The tire can achieve both cut resistance and mud drainage performance of the sidewall. The tire includes: a tread; sidewalls; and a plurality of side block groups on at least one of the sidewalls. Each of the side block groups protrudes from the sidewall reference plane. Each of the side block groups includes: a first side block; and a second side block. In each of said plurality of side block groups, the fi3 . . . 3rst side block 2 has a groove 23 extending from the second side block 3 toward an inside of the first side block in the tire circumferential direction D3, In each of said plurality of side block groups, the second side block 3 has a slope 35c whose height from the reference plane S2 becomes lower toward the first side block, such that the slope extends into the groove of the first side block.

  • Patent number: 11207924
    Abstract: A rib-like land section partitioned by main grooves, a plurality of sub-grooves provided in the rib-like land section at intervals in the tire circumferential direction and a groove hole provided between the sub-grooves adjacent to each other and extending in the tire circumferential direction are provided in a tread section. The sub-groove includes a lateral groove portion, in which one end opens to the main groove and the other end terminates inside the rib-like land section, and a longitudinal groove portion extending from the other end of the lateral groove portion to one side in the tire circumferential direction and terminating inside the rib-like land section. The groove hole is formed so that a groove depth at one end part close to a terminal end of the longitudinal groove portion becomes shallower than a groove depth at the other end part far from the terminal end.
