Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the straight advancing traveling property of a vehicle by inclining a tread surface from the outside to the inside of a wheel or by making the rigidity of the tread portion on the inside of the wheel lower than that on the outside of the wheel, so as to generate a lateral force directed from the outside to inside of a vehicle at the time installing the wheel on the vehicle and rotating same. CONSTITUTION:The radii R1, R2... of the tread of a tire 2 is gradually reduced toward the inside of a vehicle to incline a tread surface 3. The inclination angle of the tread surface 3 at this time is approx. 1/2-5 deg. It is also possible to make the rigidity of the tread portion on the inside of a wheel lower than that on the outside. By this structure, the straight advancing property of the vehicle can be satisfactorily improved.

用いられるようになってきた。
Recently, small tires with a smaller outer diameter and width than the normally used ground tires have come to be used as spare tires due to demands such as saving storage space and improving fuel efficiency through weight reduction. .

The present invention aims to provide a small spare tire that improves straight-line running performance by adding conicity as a deflection component to the straight-line running performance of a vehicle and canceling the deflection caused by the difference in outer diameter between the ground tire and the spare tire. purpose.

Therefore, the gist of the present invention is a small spare tire that, when mounted on a vehicle and rotated, generates a lateral force from the outside of the vehicle toward the inside of the vehicle.

以下、本発明の構成につき詳しく説明する。Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained in detail.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory rear view of an example of a small spare tire of the present invention when mounted on the right front wheel of a vehicle, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory cross-sectional view in the meridian direction thereof.

In FIG. 1, the small spare tire 2 has its tread throat surface 3 inclined so that the tread radius R+, Rz, . . . gradually decreases toward the inside of the vehicle (R1<R2). . The inclination angle θ (see FIG. 2) of the tread surface 3 with respect to the tire rotation axis M may be about 2° to 56°.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the rigidity of the tread portion may be made smaller on the inside of the vehicle than on the outside of the vehicle, without inclining the trend surface 3 in this manner. In order to make the rigidity of the tread portion smaller on the inside of the vehicle than on the outside of the vehicle, for example, the hardness of the tread rubber may be made smaller on the inside of the vehicle than on the outside of the vehicle. The same effect can also be obtained by arranging more tread grooves on the inside of the vehicle than on the outside of the vehicle. In the case of a spare tire with a radial structure, a similar effect can be obtained by arranging the belt off-center toward the inside of the vehicle. In FIG. 2, 4 represents the rim.

側゛への方向、すなわち矢印Aで示す方向にコニシティ

Eの方向に左旋回しようとする。
In this way, if the tread surface 3 is inclined or the rigidity of the tread portion is made smaller on the inside of the vehicle than on the outside of the vehicle, the direction from the outside to the inside of the vehicle, as shown in FIG. Since conicity acts in the direction shown by A, the small spare tire 2 tries to turn left in the direction of arrow E.

したがって、第3図に示すように車両が矢印Tの方向に
右旋回しようとしても、小型スペアタイヤ2が矢印Eの
方向に左旋回しようとするため、互いにその旋回機能を

Therefore, even if the vehicle attempts to turn right in the direction of arrow T as shown in FIG. In this case, the straight running performance of the small spare tire 2 is improved (if the small spare tire is mounted on the left front wheel of the vehicle, the directions of arrow T and arrow E will be opposite to the above).

本発明による小型スペアタイヤは、空気タイヤのみなら
ず非空気式タイヤにも適用できる。
The small spare tire according to the present invention can be applied not only to pneumatic tires but also to non-pneumatic tires.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the tread surface is inclined from the outside of the vehicle to the inside, or the rigidity of the tread portion is made smaller on the inside of the vehicle than on the outside of the vehicle, thereby sufficiently improving the straight-line running performance of the vehicle. becomes possible.
