Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the running performance on a snow road or an unleveled ground by integratedly providing many protrusions on the upper surface of the block or rib on the surface of a tire tread. CONSTITUTION:Two or more protrusions 2 are integratedly provided on the upper surface of a block 1 provided on the surface of a tire tread. In addition, each protrusion is for example, almost of a pyramid. The surface is flat, but a cylindrical vent hole remain 3 is left at the center. In this case, the shape of the protrusion can have various forms, but a pyramid is preferable to a cylindrical shape, because the area of the root is increased and running stability is also increased, and consequently, the tip is sharpened and is easy to bite snow and such. In addition, the shape of the cross section prefers a polygon to a circle because an edge section must be increased. Furthermore, the height and diameter of the protrusion section should be 2-3.5mm and 2.5-7mm respectively.

Studless tires that do not have rivets have been a trend in tires for a long time, but the tire design mainly uses two-dimensional blocks and kerfs to create an edge effect (the edges of the blocks look like wedges in the snowy road surface). Many of them are aimed at the effect of "biting into the body".

In the figure, 1 is a block provided on the tire tread surface, and two projections 2 are integrally provided on the surface of the block. The protrusion 2 has a substantially pyramidal shape, and its surface is flat, but a cylindrical vent hole relic 3 remains in the center.

FIGS. 2(A) to 2(C) are longitudinal cross-sectional views of the tire tread block, and the protrusion 2 in FIG. 2(A) is conical, has no flat surface at its upper end, and is continuously connected to the vent hole relic 3. ing. The example in FIG. 2(B) has a conical projection 2,
The top edge is flat. The example shown in FIG. 2(C) has columnar projections 2.

以下、更に好ましい態様について説明する。More preferred embodiments will be described below.

Although the shape of the protrusion can take various shapes as shown in the figure, a hit shape is more preferable than a column shape. it is,
This is because the area at the base is larger, increasing stability when driving, and the tip is sharper, making it easier to dig into the snow. Also,
The shape of the cross section is preferably polygonal rather than circular in the sense of increasing the edge portion.

Regarding the height and diameter of the protruding portion, it is desirable that the diameter is 2.5 to 7 mm, although it depends on the hardness of the tread rubber. With 7 cranes or more, the proportion of the protrusions in the design becomes too large,
The surface pressure decreases, and the biting force decreases. If it is less than 2.5 dragons, the rigidity of the protrusion is low, giving it a squishy feel, and Pi! Dark blue quality decreases. (In cases other than circular, the diameter of the inscribed circle is called the diameter. Also, the diameter of a rectangle, ellipse,
In the case of other irregular shapes, the distance between the farthest sides is called the "diameter" for convenience. ) By installing this protrusion, the projected area of the block portion in the circumferential direction increases by 1 to 30%.

In the above-mentioned diameter, if the height is less than 1 tuna, the effect as a protrusion becomes weak, and if it is 511 or more, the rigidity is low when it touches the ground, resulting in a limp feeling and reduced maneuverability. The most practical range is 2-3.5 m. Also, the height is 1 to 5 mm.

The material of the protrusion is not particularly limited as long as it is rubber, but by using rubber that is harder than other parts, performance close to that of a tire with spikes can be obtained. The preferred hardness is in the range of 50 to 73 Shore A at 0°C. Further, it is preferable that the difference in hardness from other parts is 5 degrees or more.

Furthermore, by matching the positions of the protrusion and the vent hole, the protrusion can be manufactured at a cost and process similar to that of conventional vent hole processing. The diameter of the vent hole is preferably 1 Tsuru or less, and if it is Ims or more, it is not preferable because the trim work efficiency for cutting the vent hole remains is reduced.
