Abstract

Abstract A breaker structure for radial tires includes two or more strips of textile material in which the cords are inclined at a selected angle in one direction relative to the mid-circumferential plane, at least one strip compression-resistant material between the textile strips and in which the cords are inclined in an opposite direction to the textile cords, and an additional strip of compression-resistant material disposed radially outwardly of the aforesaid strips.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 180 words
A pneumatic tire for vehicle wheels which comprises a tread, a radial carcass and a breaker structure constituted by strips of cord fabric of textile material and by strips of cord fabric of compression-resistant material, the cords of said strips being inclined with respect to the mid-circumferential plane, and which is characterized in that said breaker structure comprises at least two superimposed strips of textile material, the cords of which are inclined relative to the mid-circumferential plane, at an angle ranging between 10* and 30* in one direction, at least one strip of a compression-resistant material having a high modulus of elasticity, and inserted between said textile strips, the cords of which are inclined at an angle ranging between 13* and 33* in an opposite direction, said angle being greater by at least 2* than the angle formed by the cords of said textile strip with respect to said plane, and an additional strip of compression-resistant material, disposed in a radially outer position, the cords of which form an angle ranging between 60* and 90* with respect to said plane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 180 words
A pneumatic tire for vehicle wheels which comprises a tread, a radial carcass and a breaker structure constituted by strips of cord fabric of textile material and by strips of cord fabric of compression-resistant material, the cords of said strips being inclined with respect to the mid-circumferential plane, and which is characterized in that said breaker structure comprises at least two superimposed strips of textile material, the cords of which are inclined relative to the mid-circumferential plane, at an angle ranging between 10* and 30* in one direction, at least one strip of a compression-resistant material having a high modulus of elasticity, and inserted between said textile strips, the cords of which are inclined at an angle ranging between 13* and 33* in an opposite direction, said angle being greater by at least 2* than the angle formed by the cords of said textile strip with respect to said plane, and an additional strip of compression-resistant material, disposed in a radially outer position, the cords of which form an angle ranging between 60* and 90* with respect to said plane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 34 words
A pneumatic tire as in claim 1, characterized in that the cords of the radially outermost additional strip are inclined at an angle ranging between 75* and 85* with respect to the mid-circumferential plane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 28 words
A pneumatic tire as in claim 1, characterized in that said additional strip has a width greater by 5-20 percent than the largest one of the other strips.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
A pneumatic tire as in claim 1, characterized in that said additional strip has a width substantially equal to that of said tread.
