Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A technique for improving the durability of the beads of a radial tire for a heavy vehicle of the civil engineering type, by reducing the rate of spread of cracks initiated at the turned-back end of carcass reinforcement and the spread through the coating, edge-binding and filler polymer materials. A transition element ( 25 ), made of a transition polymer material, is at least partially in contact, on its axially external face, with the edge-binding polymer material ( 22 ) and, on its axially internal face, with a filler polymer material ( 23 b ), the radially external (E 25 ) and radially internal (I 25 ) ends of the transition element are respectively radially on the outside of and radially on the inside of the end of the turned-back portion of carcass reinforcement, and the elastic modulus at 10% elongation of the transition polymer material is somewhere between the respective elastic moduli at 10% elongation of the edge-binding polymer material and of the filler polymer material with which the transition element is in contact.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A tire for a heavy vehicle of the civil engineering type, comprising: two beads configured to come into contact with a rim; a carcass reinforcement consisting of one carcass reinforcement layer made up of metal reinforcing elements coated in a coating polymer material, said carcass reinforcement layer comprising a main portion which, in each of said two beads, is wound from the inside towards the outside of the tire, around a bead wire core to form a…
