Abstract:
The present disclosure provides for a molding element for a mold used for manufacturing a tread of a tire having a plurality of contacting element, a plurality of grooves and a connecting member connecting two side faces of adjacent contacting elements, the molding element having a molding surface and a rib for forming the groove between adjacent contacting elements and at least two rib side faces, the rib having a notching portion, a guiding member made of a material different from a material of the molding element being received in the notching portion and has two opposite side faces and a top face configured to form a part of a bottom of the groove, a distal end of the rib projecting member has a chamfered surface facing to an obliquely upward direction for guiding the connecting member toward the guiding slit.

Claim (Index 1):
A mold employed for manufacturing a tread of a tire having a plurality of contacting elements delimited by a plurality of grooves and a connecting member connecting two side faces of adjacent contacting elements of the plurality of contacting elements, comprising:\n a molding element having a molding surface for forming a contact face of one of the plurality of contacting elements; and a rib for forming the grooved between adjacent contacting elements, the rib having at least two rib side faces forming the two side faces of the adjacent contacting element, the rib having\n a notching portion, \n a guiding member made of a material different from a material of the molding element being received in the notching portion and having two opposite side faces shaped to form a part of the side faces of the adjacent contacting elements, and \n a top face shaped to form a part of a bottom of the groove, said material of the guiding member having a modulus at 10% elongation lower than that of the molding element, the guiding member having a guiding slit extending from one of the two opposite side faces to the other of the two opposite side faces through the guiding member and radially from the top face, the top face of the guiding member being partly covered by a pair of rib projecting members projecting from opposed side faces of the notching portion, and \n a rib projection opening portion being formed between the pair of rib projecting members, \n wherein a distal end of the rib projecting member has a chamfered surface facing to an obliquely upward direction for guiding the connecting member toward the guiding slit.
