Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A pneumatic radial passenger-car tire having bead portions, said bead portions comprising a bead filler disposed on a bead wire and a carcass layer folded around said bead wire from the inner side of the tire to the outer side of the tire so as to wrap around said bead filler, wherein a carbon fiber cord layer is disposed between a carcass layer and the axial inner side of said bead filler all along the circumference of the tire, and wherein the height of said carbon fiber cord layer between a bead heel and the top of said carbon fiber cord layer is equal to or greater than the height of said bead filler between said bead heel and the top of said bead filler.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
A pneumatic radial passenger-car tire having bead portions, said bead portions comprising a bead filler disposed on a bead wire and a carcass layer folded around said bead wire from the inner side of the tire to the outer side of the tire so as to wrap around said bead filler, wherein a carbon fiber cord layer is disposed between a carcass layer and the axial inner side of said bead filler all along the circumference of the tire, and wherein the height of said carbon fiber cord layer between a bead heel and the top of said carbon fiber cord layer is equal to or greater than the height of said bead filler between said bead heel and the top of said bead filler.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
66 words
A pneumatic radial passenger-car tire as claimed in claim 1, wherein said carbon fiber cord layer comprises carbon fiber cords embedded in a coat rubber having a 100% modulus of 30 to 70 kg/cm 2 , while the cord density is such that 20 to 60 carbon fiber cords (parallel) in said coat rubber is included per 5 cm in a direction perpendicular to the cords.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A pneumatic radial passenger-car tire as claimed in claim 1, wherein cords of said carbon fiber cord layer intersect cords of said carcass layer at an angle of 20° to 70°.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
A pneumatic radial passenger-car tire as claimed in claim 2, wherein cords of said carbon fiber cord layer intersect cords of said carcass layer at an angle of 20° to 70°.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
105 words
A pneumatic radial passenger-car tire as claimed in claim 1, wherein the carbon fiber cords of said carbon fiber cord layer are those obtained by coating a carbon fiber having a tensile strength of 100 kg/mm 2 or higher and a tensile elastic modulus of 5,000 kg/mm 2 with 10 to 50%, based on the weight per unit length of said carbon fiber, with an adhesive and twisting the resultant coated fiber at a twist coefficient, a value K as expressed by the following formula, of 0≦K≦1,800: ##EQU2## K: twist coefficient T: number of turns per 10 cm of cord D: total denier of cord.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
106 words
A pneumatic radial passenger-car tire as claimed in claim 2, wherein the carbon fiber cords of said carbon fiber cord layer are those obtained by coating a carbon fiber having a tensile strength of 100 kg/mm 2 or higher and a tensile elastic mudulus of 5,000 kg/mm 2 with 10 to 50%, based on the weight per unit length of said carbon fiber, with an adhesive and twisting the resultant coated fiber at a twist coefficient, a value K as expressed by the following formula, of 0≦K≦1,800: ##EQU3## K: twist coefficient T: number of turns per 10 cm of cord D: total denier number of cord.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
A pneumatic radial passenger-car tire as claimed in claim 5, wherein said adhesive is a liquid mixture of a resorcinol-formalin precondensate and a rubber latex, and the amount of said adhesive applied to said carbon fiber is 10 to 50%.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
40 words
A pneumatic radial passenger-car tire as claimed in claim 6, wherein said adhesive is a liquid mixture of a resorcinol-formalin, precondensate and a rubber latex, and the amount of said adhesive applied to said carbon fiber is 10 to 50%.
