Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of selectively controlling the self-sealing ability of a tire obtained by application of a sealing assembly on a drum and subsequent formation thereon of a precursor of a green tire inclusive of liner and carcass, followed by shaping, curing and molding. The sealing assembly includes: a self-supporting thermoplastic film of polyamide or polyester and a layer of sealing material possessing viscoelasticity and stickiness features, which is associated with and supported by the self-supporting thermoplastic film. The sealing assembly is easily puncturable by a sharp-pointed element while it maintains such a deformability and stickiness that it helps in the transfer of the sealing material during ejection of the sharp-pointed element and limits the transferred material amount to such an extent that holes bigger than a predetermined value are not sealed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A self-sealing tyre for vehicle wheels comprising: at least one carcass ply, a tread band applied at a radially external position to said carcass ply at a crown region, at least one liner applied at a radially internal position to said carcass ply, a sealing assembly applied at a position radially internal to the liner and axially extending at least over the whole crown region of the tyre, wherein said sealing assembly comprises a self-supporting the…
