Abstract

The invention relates to a pneumatic vehicle tire with a material ring ( 10 ) inside it, adhesively attached to the inner surface opposite from the tread ( 1 ), the material ring ( 10 ) adhering to a self-sealing sealant ( 8 ), which at least immediately after its application has a tackiness required for the adhesive attachment of the material ring ( 10 ).
To improve the sealing effect, the material ring ( 10 ) arranged on the sealant ( 8 ) is closed-cell and airtight.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A pneumatic vehicle tire comprising a material ring therein which is adhesively attached to an inner surface and opposite from a tread of the pneumatic vehicle tire, wherein the material ring is adhered to a self-sealing sealant which at least immediately after its application has a tackiness required for the adhesive attachment of the material ring, wherein the material ring arranged on the sealant is closed-cell material ring which is airtight, wherein the closed-cell material ring is covered with a covering film, wherein the closed-cell material ring is supported on the self-sealing sealant by means of two or more supports, and wherein the two or more supports are in direct contact with the self-sealing layer and the remainder of the ring is spaced from said self-sealing layer.

2. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the closed-cell material ring comprises one or more of foam, cork, or elastomer.

3. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the covering film is bonded, by means of an adhesive, to the closed-cell material ring, a tire inner layer, or, the closed- cell material ring and the tire inner layer.

4. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the closed-cell material ring has a maximum radial thickness of ≤50 mm.

5. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the covering film has a radial thickness of from 10 μm to 2 mm.

6. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the self-sealing sealant is a polyurethane gel, or, a viscous mixture based on butyl rubber, a polybutene, or a silicone.

7. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the closed-cell material ring lies with its radially outer surface fully flush on the self-sealing sealant and lies with its radially inner surface fully flush up against the covering film, and wherein a width of the closed-cell material ring corresponds approximately to a width of a ply formed of the self-sealing sealant.

8. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the closed-cell material ring lies with its radially outer surface fully flush on the self-sealing sealant and lies with its radially inner surface fully flush up against the covering film, and wherein width of the covering film is greater than the width of the self-sealing sealant, width of the closed-cell material ring, or, width of the self-sealing sealant and the closed-cell material ring.

9. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the covering film is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of rubber, butyl rubber, polyester, polyurethane, polyamide, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, biopolymers, and combinations thereof.

10. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the covering film is applied by spraying on a liquid material into the tire.

11. The pneumatic vehicle tire as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the covering film is highly stretchable and the closed-cell material ring serves as a spacer between the tire and the covering film.
