[Prior Art] Conventionally, when forming a branched sipe on the tread of a tire, generally, as shown in FIG. 5, when attaching a sipe blade 15 to a mold (not shown), a separate An independent branch blade 16 was attached to the side surface of this sipe blade 15 and vulcanized.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the butt type sipe blade 15, a gap inevitably occurs at the butt part, so when a tire is molded, rubber gets into the butt part and a thin rubber film is formed in that part. This was undesirable in that the sipes after vulcanization and molding lacked continuity, and the drainage water collection effect inherent to the sipes could not be expected. Of course, it is possible to make the branch blades 16 continuous by individually welding, brazing, etc. to the side surface of the sipe blade 15, but it goes without saying that it would be difficult to process if a large number of continuous sipe blades were to be manufactured. It is extremely expensive.

On the other hand, embedded type sipe blade 1
7, since the branching blade 19 must be embedded in the bone 18, a considerable area is required for embedding it in the sipe blade 17, which requires a considerable reduction in the rubber capacity in the tread portion of the molded tire. This causes problems in terms of tire performance, and it is necessary to form a large number of bones 18 on the sipe blade 17.
It has to be expensive to process. There are also restrictions on the design of tires.

[0007] The casting type is limited by the flow of the molten metal, and in order to make a thin blade, it is only possible to obtain a blade with a depth of about twice the thickness, and it cannot actually function as a sipe blade. There is a problem.

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts a blade having a laminated structure in which a plurality of thin plates are overlapped with each other at the overlapped part as a sipe blade, and moreover, at least one of them The two thin plates are made into a branching blade having a bending part that is continuously bent in the branching direction from the overlapping part of the superimposed thin plates.

[0010] At least one branching blade may be included in the sipe blade. For example, in the case of a sipe blade consisting of two thin plates, one is a blade without a bent part and the other is a branching blade. As such, it can be a sipe blade with one branch in one direction. Further, for example, in the case where two thin plates are both branched blades, the sipe blade can have two branched parts in two directions that are separated from each other from the overlapped part.

However, in this case, the thickness of the overlapping part of the sive blade itself is different from the thickness of the bent part, so if you want to form sipes of the same thickness on the tire tread after vulcanization molding, It is desirable that the sipe blade has a bent surface that matches the opening angle of the bent portion, and thin plates having the same thickness as the branch blade are further superimposed.

On the other hand, when it is desired to form a sipe having a large number of branches on the tire tread, a blade having a repeating unit of branch blades having bent portions at both ends is adopted.
This can be obtained by overlapping the blades at the overlapping part and simultaneously overlapping the branched blades that are adjacent to each other in the length direction of the blades at the bending part. If a bent part is provided only on one side, a sipe with many branches on one side will be formed, and if a bent part is provided on both sides, a sipe with many branches on both sides will be obtained.

[Operation] This invention consists of a blade having a laminated structure in which a plurality of thin plates are overlapped with each other at the overlapping part, and at least one of the thin plates is continuously bent in a branching direction from the overlapping part of the overlapping thin plates. Since the branch blade is provided with a bent portion, when the tire is vulcanized and molded, sipes with good continuity can be formed in the tread portion of the tire. Therefore, when driving on a wet road surface, water flows better,
The water collection ability of the branch branches of the sipes is significantly improved. In addition, since it is only necessary to bend at least one thin plate, workability is superior compared to conventional methods, and various branch variations such as sipe depth and length, number of branches, branch angles, etc. can be made into the tire design. It can be easily selected without being constrained by the surface. Therefore, it is possible to form complex branched sipes, which have been difficult in the past, while maintaining the continuity of the sipes. In addition, unlike conventional blades, no bones are formed on the blade, so there is no reduction in rubber capacity, and the blade is cost-effective.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sipe blade according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a sipe blade made by overlapping branching blades 2 and 3 made of two thin plates overlapping each other at overlapping parts 2a and 3a, and the ends of each branching blade 2 and 3 are branched from the overlapping parts 2a and 3a. The bent portions 2b and 3b are continuously bent in the direction.

Therefore, when an unvulcanized tire is vulcanized by attaching these sipe blades 1 in a stacked state to a mold for tire vulcanization molding, the tread portion of the tire will have the shape of this sipe blade 1. In particular, the bent portions 2b and 3b forming the branched structure are formed continuously from the overlapping portions 2a and 3a of the sipe blade 1, so that the tread portion of the tire has the shape of the sipe blade 1. The sipes are formed in a continuous state, and the branched portions are not blocked by a rubber membrane as in the past. Therefore, a good communication state is ensured for the branched sipes, so that the water collection and drainage effect can be improved.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a sipe blade according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the branch blade 4,
A thin plate 6 having a bent surface matching the opening angle of the bent parts 4a, 5a is superimposed on the bent parts 4a, 5a of 5. In this embodiment, the thin plate 6 has the same thickness as the branch blades 4 and 5, but it is not necessary to make them the same thickness, and the thickness can be changed as necessary. Therefore, when a tire is vulcanized and molded using the sipe blade of this example, it is possible to form a sipe with a branched structure that communicates with the tire tread, as in the previous example, and furthermore, the entire sipe can be cut in the same way. The width of the sipe cut can be changed depending on the need.

The overlapping portion 10c is overlapped with the overlapping portion 11a of another branching blade 11 adjacent to each other in the width direction, while the bent portion 10a located at both ends of the branching blade 10
, 10b are overlapped with bent portions 12a, 13a of other branch blades 12, 13 that are adjacent to each other in the length direction.

Therefore, as shown in the figure, for example, in the overlapping part 10c of the branch blade 10, there is a part of the branch blade 11. The overlapping portions 14a of the branch blades 14 adjacent to the overlapping portions 14a are also overlapped.

By the way, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. In short, a plurality of thin plates are stacked on top of each other at the overlapped part to form a laminated blade, and at least one of the thin plates is a branching blade having a bending part that is continuously bent in the branching direction from the overlapped part of the stacked thin plates. If so, all can be applied. Therefore, the desired depth and length of the sipe, the number of branches, the branch angle, the shape of the branches, etc. can be arbitrarily selected, and sipes with various desired structures can be formed on the tire tread portion. Note that the thickness of the thin plate does not have to be the same as in the above embodiment, and the attachment to the mold may be by embedding, but is not particularly limited.
