Description

Tire with label

The cross reference of related application

The application requires the U.S. Provisional Application No.61/561 of submission on November 21st, 2011,987 rights and interests, and by reference in conjunction with described U.S. Provisional Application.

Technical field

The present invention relates generally to rubber article, and relates more specifically to tire.

Background technology

Air-inflation tyre usually desirably has the mark sign of the label that usually is known as on the sidewall that is positioned at tire.Tire tag typically comprises the information such as trade mark or other signs.These marks typically directly are formed in the rubber sidewall during the tyre molding process.Therefore, mark can be word or other shape of giving prominence to, and the Chinese white in available rubber composition or the colouring of other colorants.Current trend is that label is molded in lower tire side wall.Label is formed by the lower tire side wall of black, and due to the use of the molded convex ridge of different pattern, so eyes can be seen.Word or other marks typically have different angles or the convex ridge of pattern, make the customer can read label.For example referring to U.S. Patent No. 5,645,661.

Have such as the tire of the embossing of the other types of word, sign, applique or bar code etc. equally very welcome on its sidewall.In the prior art known after tire curing with sticker or decal application in lower tire side wall.Yet, due to the periodically deforming of lower tire side wall repetition, so applique is usually because inadequate adhesion comes off.In addition, if tire contact curb or other surfaces, applique will be wiped or be wiped off.

Also propose with the sidewall trim feature that is coated onto the embossing replacement previously known on traditional black wall tire.Yet the application design to the lower tire side wall is proved to be the unsafty answer of this problem.This is because the design that is coated with is very thin to a great extent, and is damaged by the deflection that sidewall repeats.

Therefore, expectation has the tire with the mark that is applied to the cure tyre sidewall surfaces, and wherein mark coating provides good adhesion and durability.

Summary of the invention

The invention provides a kind of air-inflation tyre that comprises outstanding mark on the sidewall of tire, outstanding mark comprises a plurality of overlapped layerss of curable elastic body composition.

The present invention also provides following scheme:

1. an air-inflation tyre, comprise the sidewall of tyre surface and the many corings with the given pattern of forming and use adhesives to be fixed to the label of described palpus.

The specific embodiment

The present invention relates to a kind of for airtyred label.Air-inflation tyre can comprise any vehicle tyre, such as passenger tire; Light-duty, medium-sized or heavy duty truck tire, ground grip tyre, agricultural tyre, mining tyres, aircraft tyre, motor cycle tire etc.Vehicle tyre also can comprise bike tyre or be used for the tire of toy article.In substituting embodiment, label can be used for rubber article, such as but be not limited to doormat, car pad and other rubber articles.

Fig. 1 illustrates the part of the tire 10 with tire protector 12 and lower tire side wall 14.Tire also comprises the tire tag 16 that is arranged on sidewall.Tire tag can have alpha numeric, and the shape of label can be any desired size, shape or color, such as letter, brand logo or sign etc.Mark for example can also be shape or the pattern of (many) sidewall striped for white sidewall.Serving as a mark, also to be imagined as be dingbat, such as Art Design, mark, flower, point, short parallel and/or angled striped or hash indicates or as by any other desired shape of the user of tire.The size of label can be any desired size, and can comprise the whole surface of the sidewall of tire.

Fig. 2 A illustrates the typical mould 20 for molded green tire.Die assembly 20 typically comprises a plurality of segmentations 22, and described a plurality of segmentations 22 are arranged to form annular ring, with at the tyre surface of block assembly to a time-out around green tire.The tread surface of tire is formed by the interior molded surface 24 of segmentation 22, and described interior molded surface 24 has a plurality of convex regions (land) and groove, so that tread pattern is molded in green tire.Mold sections 22 can move radially, to allow mould around assembling and the dismounting of green tire.

Die assembly 10 also comprises the sidewall paneling 26 for the sidewall 14 of moulding of tyres.Sidewall paneling 26 has inner mold surface 28, the 28' for the moulding of tyres sidewall, and is combined with segmentation, to form the level and smooth continuous surface from the tire protector to the sidewall.As described in more detail below, sidewall paneling 26 also comprises for the inner chamber 30 of admitting label mould 50.

Label mould 50 is molded in first surface layer 52 on the sidewall of tire.First surface layer 52 is shown as from the surface of lower tire side wall recessed a little in this example.Selectable collar rim 53 is around first surface layer 52, to limit label area 55.Label area 55 also comprises the many corings 54(whisker that extends from first surface layer 52).Many corings 54 are formed between the curing time of green tire in label area on sidewall surfaces wittingly.The rubber palpiform becomes desired pattern.In the example depicted in fig. 6, must spread all over label area 55 separates equably.Must be able to be as shown in Figure 6 all or with any desired shape the same in Fig. 8 A-8C.The T shape that preferably, must have as shown in Fig. 8 C is constructed.

Label mould 50 forms the label area 55 that comprises first surface layer 52, palpus 54 and selectable collar rim 53.Label mould 50 is shown in Fig. 3-5, and has the outside face 60 of the outer side wall surface location of contiguous green tire.Outside face also comprises the outshot 62 that forms the recessed label area 52 on tire.The selectable groove 66 that outshot 62 is formed the collar rim 53 on green tire around.Outshot 62 also comprises a plurality of holes 68 of creeping in label mould 50 downwards and being connected to lateral trench 70.Hole 68 forms the palpus 57 on the first surface layer 52 of lower tire side wall when tire curing.Hole 68 is as breather port, overflows from mould with the gas that allows to be captured when the tire curing.Thereby form palpus in rubber ostium 68.

Fig. 6 illustrates the part of the lower tire side wall that has solidified in tire-mold.Lower tire side wall has the recessed first surface layer 52 that is molded in lower tire side wall, and it is with the many corings that extend from first surface layer 52.Collar rim 53 is around palpus and first surface layer 52.Fig. 8 A-8C illustrates the different palpiform shape that can be used.Fig. 7 illustrates the ornamental label 90 that is fixed to palpus.Ornamental label 90 is fixed to palpus after utilizing rubber adhesive.

Ornamental label 90 can have the outside visible layer 92 that is formed by the polyvinyl chloride layer of poly-mer such as flexibility (PVC).Outside visible layer is bonded to rubber or woven lining.Fabric or rubber lining are fixed to palpus after utilizing suitable adhesives.Suitable adhesives comprise formed by cyanoacrylate adhesive, polyurethane, epoxy resin, polyvinyl alcohol, acrylate, methacrylate, polyvinylchloride, polyester etc. or based on their adhesives.

Fig. 9 illustrates the second embodiment of the present invention.Lower tire side wall has molding part, and described molding part comprises the intensive palpus that separates of many in the trace that is limited to the shape identical with label to be employed.Palpus 100 is preferably T shape.Label 90 preferably have with lower tire side wall on must tangle up many T shapes must 110, in order in removable mode, label 90 is fixed to lower tire side wall.Adhesives can be used for for good and all label must being fixed to the lower tire side wall palpus.

Although illustrated and described current exemplary embodiment of the present invention and the method for putting into practice them, should be appreciated that, mode that can be other in the scope of appended claim differently realizes and puts into practice the present invention.
