CA2176519A1 - Linear and pointed edge geometric module traction control technology - Google Patents

Abstract

It is known that linear edges and pointed edges can be added to surfaces which are put in motion. This may be done using three dimensional geometrical or mathematical figures called modules. These three dimensional figures have slopes rising from their base at between zero degrees and one hundred and eighty degrees. These may be singular slopes or multiple slopes rising vertical and created from each other. The base of these three dimensional figures may be in the form of a square, rectangle, triangle, circle, polygon, eclipse, star, or any other geometrical form possible. These modules may be interlapped, overlapped, or interlocked. They may be set in any fixed, varied, or random pattern or any combination of these patterns.

Description

(3) SPECIFICArION

~ he invention relates to obj2cts (for example, tires, shoe soles, skies, etc.) which n~ed to make contact with a solid surface in order to achieve motion, rem~in in motion, or prev2nt motion.

It is comm3n in devices and pr~ducts used for transportin~ people and objects that th~ir surface is horizontally flat as in tir2s. Grooves have b~en placed in their surfac-s for traction and sto-,opin3 ability. Grooves have had m;nim~l 2ffect when road surfaces hav2 oil, water, snow, ice, or wet 2arth upon them in preventin~ accidents du2 to skiddin~, slidin~, swayin3, spinnin3, and hydroplanein~. When ther- is enou~h soft earth, snow, or ice tir~s become imp-ded to the point of completely bein~ without tr~ction or usefuln-ss. Groves or conv-ntional tread do not reduce th2 h~rizontal flat surface ~nd th-reby do not substantially incr-aso traction.
When an obj~ct has a flat surfac2 and it tries to ~chi2ve motion a~ainst anoth~r flat surface the motion surface must resist the stationary surf~ce in e~ual or ~reater force. When the stationary surface is with~ut resistance th- motion surfac~ must provi~ r create the resistance ne-ded to remain o?erational. When conventional tires are confront-d with the substances m~ntioned above they ~re not as safe and o~rational as could be.

rh~se ~isadvanta~es m~y be substantially overcom2 by placein~ point2d and linear ~d32s creat2d fr~m ~eometrical or mathematical shapes onto tne horizontal surface of th~se products. rhe forms o~ mo~ules may be complet21y or partially flat ~t their vertex and com?letely or partially pointed or linear 2d~ed at their vert2x. rhis will re~uc~ total horizontal surfac~ and the horizontal surface which rem ins will provide supp3rt 217~519 (4) ~/1/96 -for th2 tir~ structure. ~he slopes will also provide support to t'ne tire structure for all the ed~e slopes originate at the base ~erimeters of the geometric modules. ThP point2d and linear ed~es will provide and create the increas-d traction nPc~ss~ry for Pnh~nc2d operationability. They will bite into the earth, snow, iC2, etc to create the needed traction. ~hey will cause less water to remain betw2en the motion surf ce and the station-ary surfacP. ThP 3eometric modules may be placed in fixed, varied, and random patterns or any combination of these. Certain patterns will improve traction, maneuverability, control, and brakein~ better than others.
rhe amount of horizont l surface placed at the vertDx will protect the point~d ~nd linear ed~es from excessive contact stress. The flat surf~c~
at th~ vertox can b~ placed so that the edg2s enhance traction -~hen condi-tions re~uir~. Ed~ed geometric module traction control technolo~y may be combin2d with conventional tread or ~roove patterns in order to achiev-desired r~sults. A tire may be desi~ned to giv~ normal traction ability under good road conditi~ns and at th~ same time provid~ and creatP increased traction bility under bad road conditions.
