Abstract
Abstract The reinforced tyre which is characterized in that its carcass material consists of the cord composed substantially of polyethylene 2,6-naphthalate, said cord, as set in the tyre, having the twisting coefficient, K-value, of 1600 to 3300, the modulus under 2% extension of 40 - 160 g/denier, and the dry heat shrinkage of no greater than 3% when exposed to the temperature of 150*C. for 30 minutes, with the definition of K as below: K T square root D in which T denotes the number of folded twist per 10 cm of the cord, and D denotes the total denier of the filaments constituting the cord.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A REINFORCED TYRE WHICH IS CHARACTERIZED IN THAT ITS CARCASS MATERIAL CONSISTS OF A CORD COMPOSED SUBSTANTIALLY OF POLYETHYLENE 2,6-NAPHTHALATE, SAID CORD, AS SET IN A TYRE, HAVING A TWISTING COEFFICIENT K-VALUE OF 1600 TO 3300, A MODULUS UNDER 2% EXTENSION OF 40 - 160 G/DENIER, AND A DRY HEAT SHRINKAGE OF NO GREATER THAN 3% WHEN EXPOSED TO THE TEMPERATURE OF 150*C. FOR 30 MINUTES, WITH THE DEFINITION OF K AS BELOW K=TVD IN WHICH T DENOTES THE NUMBER OF FOLDED TWIST PER 10 CM OF THE CORD, AND D DENOTES THE TOTAL DENIER OF THE FILAMENTS CONSITUTING THE CORD.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A REINFORCED TYRE WHICH IS CHARACTERIZED IN THAT ITS CARCASS MATERIAL CONSISTS OF A CORD COMPOSED SUBSTANTIALLY OF POLYETHYLENE 2,6-NAPHTHALATE, SAID CORD, AS SET IN A TYRE, HAVING A TWISTING COEFFICIENT K-VALUE OF 1600 TO 3300, A MODULUS UNDER 2% EXTENSION OF 40 - 160 G/DENIER, AND A DRY HEAT SHRINKAGE OF NO GREATER THAN 3% WHEN EXPOSED TO THE TEMPERATURE OF 150*C. FOR 30 MINUTES, WITH THE DEFINITION OF K AS BELOW K=TVD IN WHICH T DENOTES THE NUMBER OF FOLDED TWIST PER 10 CM OF THE CORD, AND D DENOTES THE TOTAL DENIER OF THE FILAMENTS CONSITUTING THE CORD.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
