Abstract

Abstract A curable composition comprising (1) at least one rubber selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, a diene rubber and a diene copolymer rubber, (2) a sulfide resin as a curing agent having the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein X is methylene group, ethylene group, --S-- or --S--S--, R 1 and R 2 are independently a C 1-10 alkyl or alkylene group, Y 1 and Y 2 are independently the residue of a phenol compound, p is an integer of 2 to 8, and n is an integer of 2 to 5, (3) a phenolic thermosetting resin and (4) a hardener for hardening said thermosetting resin. The composition shows a low viscosity upon milling and also does not take place scorching and blooming, and can provide a cured rubber having a high dynamic modulus of elasticity with improved workability and processability. The cured rubber is suitable for use in radial tires as bead filler rubber.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 186 words
A radial tire comprising a carcass ply composed of cords arranged in the radial direction of tire, the both end portions of the carcass ply being turned up at a bead to fasten, and a bead filler being positioned between the carcass ply and the turned-up end portion thereof and extending from a location just above a bead wire toward the side wall of the tire, said radial tire being improved in that said bead filler is made of a cured composition comprising (1) at least one rubber selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, a diene rubber and a diene copolymer rubber, (2) a sulfide resin as a curing agent having the following general formula: ##STR8## wherein X is methylene group, ethylene group, --S-- or --S--S--, R 1 and R 2 are independently a C 1-10 alkyl or alkylene group, Y 1 and Y 2 are independently the residue of a phenol compound, p is an integer of 2 to 8, and n is an integer of 2 to 5, (3) a phenolic thermosetting resin and (4) a hardener for hardening said thermosetting resin.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 186 words
A radial tire comprising a carcass ply composed of cords arranged in the radial direction of tire, the both end portions of the carcass ply being turned up at a bead to fasten, and a bead filler being positioned between the carcass ply and the turned-up end portion thereof and extending from a location just above a bead wire toward the side wall of the tire, said radial tire being improved in that said bead filler is made of a cured composition comprising (1) at least one rubber selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, a diene rubber and a diene copolymer rubber, (2) a sulfide resin as a curing agent having the following general formula: ##STR8## wherein X is methylene group, ethylene group, --S-- or --S--S--, R 1 and R 2 are independently a C 1-10 alkyl or alkylene group, Y 1 and Y 2 are independently the residue of a phenol compound, p is an integer of 2 to 8, and n is an integer of 2 to 5, (3) a phenolic thermosetting resin and (4) a hardener for hardening said thermosetting resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 28 words
The radial tire of claim 1, wherein said bead filler extends to the central portion of the side wall with a gradually decreasing thickness of the bead filler.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 48 words
The radial tire of claim 1, further comprising a clinch-apex having a height of 0.45 to 0.75 time the height of the bead filler, said clinch-apex being positioned at the outside in the axial direction of the turned-up end portion of the carcass ply in close vicinity thereto.
