Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In order to enable the shape of the surface of a tire including the shoulder sections thereof to be detected, a tire shape testing device comprises: a first linear light application means ( 10 ) for applying linear light to the tread section ( 8 ) of the tire; a second linear light application means ( 12 ) for applying linear light to the sidewall sections ( 7 ) of the tire; a third linear light application means ( 13 ) for applying linear light to the shoulder sections ( 9 ) and to regions outside the shoulder sections ( 9 ); and image capturing means ( 16 ) for capturing the images of the linear light applied by the first linear light application means ( 10 ), the second light application means, and the third linear light applications means ( 13 ) and reflected by the surface of the tire.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A tire shape testing device that captures an image of linear light with which a surface of a tire including a sidewall section, a shoulder section, and a tread section has been irradiated and that detects a surface shape of the tire on the basis of the captured image of the linear light, the tire shape testing device comprising: a first light source configured to irradiate the tread section of the tire with a linear light beam; a second light source…
