Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
Tire having a carcass reinforcement anchored to at least one bead ring, the bead ring consisting of a hollow metallic mem-ber, is improved due to the fact that the bead ring as seen in radial cross-section is essentially formed of four sides which converge two by two and of an interior reinforcement connecting the two regions where two consecutive converging sides meet, and due to the fact that the bead ring is arranged in the bead in such a manner that the interior reinforcement forms an angle of less than ? 60° with the bisector of the angle formed by the bead seat on the rim with the tangent to the rim flange adjacent to said bead seat, the bisector being directed towards the inside of the tire, the latter being mounted and inflated.

Description
The present invention relates to improvements in tires and more particularly in the beads of -tires oI very large si~e which are intended for use on heavy equipement, such as those used for civil engineering work.
~ t the present time, tires of the type in question are in most cases mo~mted wi-thout an inner -tube on rims faving frustoco-nical bead sea-ts. ~hus the bead must ful~ill -two e~sential roles, namely:
- assure -the seal be-tween -the -tire and tl~e rim, alld - secure -the tire to the rim, wh~tever the value of the tangetial driving force -to be transmit-ted.
'~he bead rings presen-t as the reinforcement of the beads contribute preponderantly to the carrying out of these two func--tions, but a-t the price O:r an excessive amount of material (steel wire or ribbon).
~ ur-thermore, -the ~atigue strcngtll of the elements forming the bead seems -to be related -to the value o~ the radial cross-section selec-ted ~or the bead r:ings.
Finally, the shape of the rad:ial cross-section of the or-finary bead rings formed of steel wires or ribbons causes, on therim, a distribution of the pressures of -the bead which is un~avo-rable, due to the coexistence of zones of excessively high local pxessures and zones of excessively low local pressures. ~s a re-sult, the beads become worn and/or slide circumferentially with respect to the rim.
~ he bead rings used in -the beads of tires of the -type in question therefore have an excessive radial cross-section as com-pared with that required, for instance, for sta-tic resistance.
In order to lighten the weight of -the bead rings i-t has already been pro~osed to use a hollow member, for example, of me-tal, the cavi-ty o~ which is filled with a ring of plas-tic material, or a hollow member of extruded plastic material. However9 such . . ~ - .- , ~. ~ :
- .. . . . .
- - . . . . , ~, ho:llow beacl rings would not be suitable for tires of the type in question, due in particular to the fact that their resistance to rup-ture and crushing is insufficient.
The problem at which the inven-tion is directed is therc-fore to create a hollow metallic bead ring the weight of which is low for a relatively high o~erall radial cross-section, but which is nevertheless resistant to rupture and crushing and the shape of radial cross-section of which causes as uniform as possible a distribution of the bead pressures on the rim.
~ccordingly, the tire in accordance with the present in-vention, having a carcass reinforcement anchored to at least one -bead ring, the bead ring consisting of a hollow metallic member, -~
is characteri~ed by thè fact that the bead ring, as seen in radial cross-section, is essentially formed of four sid~s which converge two by two and of an interior reinforccment connecting the two regions where -two consecutive converging sides meet, and by the fact that the bead ring is arranged in the bead in such a manner that the interior reinforce~ent forms an angle of less than -~ 60 -with the bisector of the angle formed by the bead seat on -the rim with the -tangent to the rim flange adjacent to said bead seat, the bisector being directed towards the inside of the tire, the latter being mounted and inflated.
~ y interior reinforoement there is understood not only the reinforcement itself or its axis of symmetry in the case of a li-near reinforcement or of a reinforcement with linear axis of sym~
metry, bu-t also the chord connecting the two ends of the reinfor~
cement in the event that the reinforcement is curved.
~ hus, by means of the invention, the radial cross-section .
of the bead ring is, by triangulation, made nondeformable, parti-cularly with respect to the forces coming from the rim and the carcass reinforcement and -tending -to c~lsh the radial cross-section of the bead ring.

~ ig. 1 shows a bead 1 of a tire with a radial carcass reinforcement 2. The preferably meta:L carcass reinforcement 2 surrounds the bead ring 3 and its tul~led-up portion 21 rises to above the bead ring 3. The bead 1 is arranged on rim o:E which the drawing shows only the portion ~o~ningr a bead seat ~ and a rim flange 5 in-tended to come into contact with the bead 1. In the example selected, this bead seat ~ is inclined ~ith respect to the axis of rotation of the rim, indica-ted by the straight line Y~. The bead seat 4 and the tangent tl -to the adjacent rim flange 5 form a angle a.
~ he bead ring 3 in accordance with the invention has a radial cross-section which is essentially Iormed of t~o converging sides 31 and 32 which form wi-th each other an angle which is subs-tantially equal to the angle a, and of a circular axc 33 connecting the non-common ends of the converging sides ~~L and 32. On its in-- side~ the bead ring 3 has an interior reinforcement which is sym- -metrical with respect to the bisector S of the angle formed by the two con~erging sides 31 ancl 32~ This interior reinforcement is formed o~ a rib 34 coming from the region surrounding the point _~_ .

oE convcrgencc of -the two sides 31 and ~2, and oi another rib 35, wider -than -the rib 34, coming from the circular arc 33 and provi-ded at its Lree end with a groove 36. ~'he free end of the rib 34 fi-ts within the groove 36 of -the rib 35. The interior reinforce-ment 34, 35 opposes deformation, par-ticularly by crushing, of the hollow member in accordance with the inven-tion by dividing the radial cross-section of the bead ring into -two trlangles (shown in dashed line) of which the interior reinforcement forms a common slde.
~he axis of symmetry S and, therefore, the reinforcement 34, 35 itself form an angle ~ o: about 20 with respec-t to the bi-sector C of the angle ~ formed by the bead seat ~ on the rim with the tangent tl to the rim flange 5.
'~he two sides 31 and 32 are quasi-linear and therefore of practically ~ero curvature and face the bead seat ~r rim glange 5 of the rim. The angle formed by these -two sides 31 and 32 is substantially equal to the angle a ~medby the bead seat ~ with the tang~nt tl to the rim fl~mge 5. q`he circular arc 33 forms the other two sides of the radial cross-sec-tion, which are thus loca-ted in the extension of each other.
~ ig. 2 sho~s a bead ring 40 wllose radial cross-section is circular on the ourside. In accordance ~rith the invention, the diametrical intèrior reinIorceme~t consisting of two parts ~1, 42 divides this radial cross-section into t~o triangles (shown-in das- -hed line) of ~hich said interior reinforcement constitutes the com-mon side. -Fig. 3 shows a bead ring 50 whose radial cross-section has an approximately oval or elliptical shape. In accordance with the ~ invention, the bipartite interlor reinforcement 51, 52 divides this ellipse into two triangles (shown in dashed line). od which said i~terior reinforcement cons-titutes the common side. ~he dimension A of the radial cross-sec-tion of the bead ring 50, measured paral-~0~3X8~
lel to -the in-terior reinforcemen-t 51, 52, is - as furthermore in -the case o~ ï~igs. 1, 5, 7 and 8 - larger than its dimension B, measured perpendicular to said interior reinforcement. In this case, this side which is common to the two triangles merges with the minor axis of the elliptical cross-section of the bead ring.
~ig. ~ shows a bead ring 60 of square shape wi-th roundes corners. ~he bipartite interior rein~orcemen-t 61, 62 forms one of the diagonals of the square. This diagonal merges with the side co~non to the two t~iangles (shown in dashed line) into which -the contour of this bead ring can be subdivided.
Fig. 5 shows a bead ring 70 having an outer section in the from of a parallelogram with rounded corners. ~he bipartite in-terior reinforcement 71, 72 con-tains the smallest diagonal of -the parallelogram. This diagonal represents the side common to the two triangles (shown in dashed line), in-to which the contour o~
said bead ring can be subdivided.
'rhe interior reinforcement Sl of the bead ring ~0 of square radial cross-sec-tion shown iIl FiG. 6 di~fers from the interior rein-~orcemen~ described above by the fac-t -that it consis-ts of a single part ~1 whose ro~t ~2 is located in the region where the two con-verging sides ~3 and 84 come together, while the opposite end 8 is located in the region where the two opposite converging sides 85, 86 come together.
~he bead ring 90 illus-trated in Fig. 7 is distinguished ~rom all the preceding bead rings by the fact that two of its converging sides, in this case the sides 92, 92', are joined toge-ther and no longer formed of a single piece~ ~ikewise, its inte-rior reinforcement is composed of two joined sections 91, 91~ which are the extensions of the sides 92, 92', respectively.
