Title: Improvements relating to Pneumatic and similar Tyres for the Wheels of Vehicles.
Inventor: TILLINGHAST PARDON WILBUR
Filed: 1901-03-09
Granted: 1901-07-20
Abstract: 5064. Tillinghast, P. W., and Vigneron, A. T. March 9. Coated fabrics.-Relates to the construction of tyres in which fabrics of various kinds are embedded in rubber, and the application to strong pneumatic tyres is shown. Parallel threads B, held together by selvages E, are calendered on to a strip D of sheet rubber, and other parallel threads A, Fig. 4, are placed at right-angles to the threads B. The composite strip is then compressed laterally so that corrugations C, Fig. 5, are formed between the threads A by the intermediate parts of the threads B. After the corrugations have been flattened to form a flat strip E, Fig. 6, it is wound helically round the air tube, and a second similar strip inclined the opposite way is wound over it, the tyre being completed by a layer of sheet rubber. In modifications, the threads A, B may be woven together, or they may be secured to separate strips of sheet rubber and fed between rollers, one of which corrugates the threads B and embeds the threads A between the corrugations. Each of the threads A may be separately embedded in a trough formed by doubling a tape longitudinally, in which case the separate tapes may afterwards be secured together to form a strip. A further modification consists of either a strip of rubber and fibre or strips of tape, secured by stitching to an auxilliary band. The tyre, shown in Fig. 18, is built up of rubber layers M with interposed layers A<1>, B<1>, C<1> of openwork fabric. The outer layers of fabric are preferably more open than the inner, and either an outer cover or a single-tube tyre may be formed in this way. There is embedded preferably within the tread part, a strip of fabric having loops which project from the surface of the strip.
