Patent number: 10696097Abstract: The tire has a load index that is at least 118 and two layers of reinforcing elements. Each of the layers has a breaking force per unit width that is higher than 2900 daN/dm. A minimum strength per unit width, measured for an elongation of less than 10%, of the second layer is greater than 20% of the minimum strength per unit width, measured for an elongation of less than 10%, of the first layer. The reinforcing elements of the first layer have a thread count that is higher than 300 tex. The reinforcing elements of the two layers have a thread count of less than 750 tex. The elongation of the reinforcing elements of the second layer are greater than 8% under a force of 20 daN and the secant elastic modulus values under tension at 10% elongation, Mt, Mj, satisfy the relationship Mt/Mj?1.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2015Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignees: COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELIN, MICHELIN RECHERCHE ET TECHNIQUE, S.A.Inventors: Marc Francia, Yves Potin, Florian Vilcot

Patent number: 10654322Abstract: Each of at least two layers of a carcass reinforcement has a breaking force per unit width higher than 2250 daN/dm. The minimum strength per unit width, measured for an elongation of less than 10%, of a second layer of carcass reinforcement is strictly greater than a value equal to 20% of the minimum strength per unit width, measured for an elongation of less than 10%, of a first layer of carcass reinforcement. The reinforcing elements of the two layers of carcass reinforcement have a thread count of less than 750 tex. The elongation of the reinforcing elements of the second layer of carcass reinforcement is greater than 4% under a force of 20 daN, and the secant elastic modulus values under tension at 10% elongation, Mt, Mj, satisfy the relationship Mt/Mj?1.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2015Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignees: COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELIN, MICHELIN RECHERCHE ET TECHNIQUE, S.A.Inventors: Marc Francia, Yves Potin, Florian Vilcot

Publication number: 20110168315Abstract: A bicycle tire comprising a carcass reinforcement, each edge of which is anchored in two beads by a turn-up around a bead core, each bead being continued radially by sidewalls which lead into a tread. Each of the bead cores is formed by winding a saturated non-wrapped metal cable made of filaments, the diameter of said cable being less than 1.5 mm and the diameter of the filaments being less than 0.25 mm.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2010Publication date: July 14, 2011Applicants: SOCIETE DE TECHNOLOGIE MICHELIN, Michelin Recherche et Technique S.A.Inventor: Yves Potin

Publication number: 20080087365Abstract: A tire includes a crown reinforcement provided with a cord forming a plurality of circumferential turns, the cord disposed on opposite sides of a median zone of the tire. The circumferential tension of the cord varies axially along the tire. The circumferential tension of the cord on one side of the median zone diminishes in a direction directed away from one edge of the tire from an edge tension value to an inflection tension value, then increases in that same direction to a median zone tension value greater than the inflection tension value, and then decreases in that same direction back to the inflection tension value at the opposite side of the median zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2005Publication date: April 17, 2008Applicant: MICHELIN RECHERCHE ET TECHNIQUE S.A.Inventor: Yves Potin
