Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of correcting imbalance of a tire comprises a step of forming a coated layer on the inner surface of the tire at the point of lightest weight of the tire so as to reduce the imbalance of the tire. The coated layer has a black color substantially the same as the color of the inner surface so that it becomes difficult to recognize the correction of the weight imbalance.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of correcting imbalance of a tire comprising: a step of forming a black coated layer on a part of an inner surface of the tire including a point of lightest weight of the tire so as to reduce the imbalance of the tire, wherein the black coated layer is formed by applying a black paint, and the black paint is a dissolved-type water-soluble paint containing carbon black or alternatively an emulsion-type water-soluble paint containing carbon black. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the black paint has a specific gravity of 1.00 to 1.10. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a weight of the black coated layer is in a range from 3 to 10 grams. 4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a weight of the black coated layer is in a range from 3 to 10 grams. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a length in a tire circumferential direction of the black coated layer is in a range from 15 to 70 degrees in terms of an angle around a tire rotational axis. 6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a length in a tire circumferential direction of the black coated layer is in a range from 15 to 70 degrees in terms of an angle around a tire rotational axis. 7. The method according to claim 3 , wherein a length in a tire circumferential direction of the black coated layer is in a range from 15 to 70 degrees in terms of an angle around a tire rotational axis. 8. The method according to claim 4 , wherein a length in a tire circumferential direction of the black coated layer is in a range from 15 to 70 degrees in terms of an angle around a tire rotational axis. 9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the black paint is applied by spraying. 10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the black paint is applied by brushing. 11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the carbon black in the black paint is not more than 10% by weight. 12. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a content of the carbon black in the black paint is not more than 10% by weight. 13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the carbon black in the black paint is not more than 10% by weight, the black paint has a specific gravity of 1.00 to 1.10, the black paint is applied by spraying or brushing, and a length in a tire circumferential direction of the black coated layer is in a range from 15 to 70 degrees in terms of an angle around a tire rotational axis.
