Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for retreading a tire casing is disclosed herein. The method includes a tread is disposed on a casing carcass with a bonding layer being interposed in between, and a strip is tensioned through several circuits on the tread. Also disclosed herein is a tire employing the a method of retreading disclosed herein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for retreading a tire casing, comprising: disposing a tread on a casing carcass with a bonding layer being interposed in between, winding a strip around the tread multiple times circumferentially while tensioning it on the tread, and inflating the carcass before winding the strip around the tread while tensioning it. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the strip is initially placed on the tread in a first circuit without the strip being tensioned. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the circuits or at least two of the circuits are contiguous. 4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein winding the circuits includes winding a plurality of first layer circuits into a first layer, wherein the first layer circuits are disposed in an edge to edge relationship with adjacent first layer circuits. 5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein winding the circuits includes winding a plurality of second circuits into a second layer, wherein the second layer circuits are disposed in an edge to edge relationship with adjacent second layer circuits. 6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the edges of the plurality of first layer circuits are axially offset from the edges of the plurality of second layer circuits. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the strip is wrapped in at least two superposed layers. 8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein each layer comprises several circuits and the circuits are offset from one layer to another. 9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding layer is heated. 10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the strip is removed. 11. The method according claim 1 , wherein the strip is inextensible along its length. 12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the strip comprises a heat-shrinkable material. 13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the strip comprises cables. 14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the strip is wrapped in at least three superposed layers. 15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding layer comprises hot-melt material. 16. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the carcass is inflated to at least 2 Bar.
