Abstract

This new tyre has provisions for local retraction. In the new design, there are two chambers (20, 30) linked by ribs (5). By this means, on varying the pressure between the chambers, certain parts of the tread (40) are caused to rise or fall (note that 40 is an area, not a hole). These areas may or may not be studded (2). Preferably, two valves (3, 4) are connected, one into each chamber (20, 30). These allow the heights of the tread to be varied, in accordance with the applied pressure.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif rétractable adapté à tous types de pneumatiques, ayant ou non des clous, dans le but de changer la fonction de ceux-ci. (schéma 1)
Suivant la saison ou les conditions climatiques, ltétat des routes nécessite d'avoir des pneus neiges ou cloutés pour une plus grande sécurité.
The present invention relates to a retractable device suitable for all types of tires, with or without studs, with the aim of changing the function thereof. (diagram 1)
Depending on the season or the climatic conditions, the state of the roads requires having snow or studded tires for greater safety.

Néanmoins, pour certaines régions ou les changements de temps et de températures sont fréquents, il faut d'un jour à l'autre changer de pneus pour plusieurs raisons :
- réduire l'usage des clous pour limité
l'usure des routes
- permettre une reprise normale de
la vitesse et du confort de conduite
- limiter l'usure des clous
- limiter le bruit
La technique consiste donc à créer un pneumatique ayant des gorges (1) (fig 4 et 5)dont le pourtour, de plus faible épaisseur, fera monter les clous (2) lors d'une surpression.(Le principe ressemble à celui d'une vanne de gonflage rehaussée ou non d'un clou).
However, for certain regions where weather and temperature changes are frequent, it is necessary to change tires overnight for several reasons:
- reduce the use of nails for limited
road wear
- allow normal recovery of
driving speed and comfort
- limit wear on nails
- limit noise
The technique therefore consists in creating a tire having grooves (1) (FIGS. 4 and 5) whose periphery, of smaller thickness, will cause the studs (2) to rise during an overpressure. (The principle resembles that of an inflation valve with or without a nail).

Une fois sortis, les clous sont bloqués avec une parfaite rigidité en position haute (fig 6 et 7) car lors du retour en pression standard, les bords de la gorge se sont resserrés. De plus, lors du changement de géométrie du pneumatique occasionné par la surpression passagère, on constate que la largeur des rainures a augmenté .Ainsi ce pneu permet une évacuation plus facile des surfaces enneigées et devient donc aussi pneu neige.Once out, the nails are locked with perfect rigidity in the high position (fig 6 and 7) because when returning to standard pressure, the edges of the groove have tightened. In addition, when the geometry of the tire changes due to the temporary overpressure, we notice that the width of the grooves has increased. This tire therefore allows easier evacuation of snow-covered surfaces and therefore also becomes snow tire.

Rappel du principe :
- Fabrication d'un pneumatique avec des gommes caoutchoucs standards et variables en dureté suivant les constructeurs
- Implantation de clous en quantité variable suivant les critères de diamètre, largeur des fabricants
- Ces clous seront implantés dans une épaisseur spéciale entouré par une gorge de forme variable permettant, suite aux différences de pression au gonflage, la montée ou la descente des clous
- La structure de la gorge pourrait être renforcée par un lamelle ressort implantée lors du moulage de la structure. Cette lamelle ressort passera , elle aussi, en position haute ou basse suivant la pression interne du pneumatique
- Mise en oeuvre rapide suivant les états de la chaussée
Exemple
On a le pneu en position été gonflé à une pression standard de 2 kg/cm2. On veut le mettre en position hiver. On effectue une suppression de ce dernier à la station service jusqu'à ce que les clous soit sortis .(la pression et surpression variera en fonction du modèle du pneumatique et du véhicule utilisateur : voiture ou camion)
Cette surpression va faire monter l'élément porteur du clou et le verrouille en position haute par dépression sur la gorge (fig 6 et 7)
Ensuite, on dégonfle pour revenir à la pression standard de 2 kg/cm2 ce qui accentue le verrouillage de 1' ensemble.
Reminder of the principle:
- Manufacture of a tire with standard rubber gums and variable in hardness according to the manufacturers
- Implantation of nails in variable quantity according to the criteria of diameter, width of the manufacturers
- These nails will be implanted in a special thickness surrounded by a groove of variable shape allowing, following the differences in inflation pressure, the raising or lowering of the nails
- The structure of the groove could be reinforced by a spring strip implanted during the molding of the structure. This spring strip will also go up or down depending on the internal pressure of the tire.
- Quick implementation according to road conditions
Example
The tire is in the inflated position at a standard pressure of 2 kg / cm2. We want to put it in the winter position. The latter is removed at the service station until the studs are removed (the pressure and overpressure will vary depending on the model of the tire and the user vehicle: car or truck)
This overpressure will raise the carrier element of the nail and locks it in the high position by depression on the groove (fig 6 and 7)
Then, we deflate to return to the standard pressure of 2 kg / cm2 which accentuates the locking of the assembly.

Si les conditions nécessitent d'enlever les clous, c'est à dire de passer de la position hiver à été, il suffit de dégonfler le pneu jusqu'à la valeur de 0.5 kg/cm2, d'avancer sur quelques mètres, de faire marche arrière et de réajuster la pression à 2kg/cm2. On se retrouve alors avec un pneu à structure été. (les clous étant revenus en position interne) (fig 8 et 9)
Le principe pourrait être un peu différent. Le pneumatique pourrait être constitué de deux pneumatiques monoblocs dont l'un engloberait l'autre.
If the conditions require removing the studs, that is to say to pass from the position winter to summer, it is enough to deflate the tire until the value of 0.5 kg / cm2, to advance on a few meters, to make reverse and readjust the pressure to 2kg / cm2. We end up with a summer structure tire. (the nails having returned to the internal position) (fig 8 and 9)
The principle could be a little different. The tire could consist of two monoblock tires, one of which would include the other.

Ce système comporterait deux valves de gonflage.(Une pour le pneu extérieur (3), l'autre pour le pneu spécial intérieur (4) qui serait relié à l'extérieur par des nervures (5) prenant appui sur les gorges porteuse de clous.)
L'augmentation du pneu intermédiaire pousse les nervures qui appuient et font ressortir les clous(si le pneu en est doté). Ce principe est plus onéreux et complexe à réaliser mais apporte un appui constant et régulier sur les clous. De plus le sous gonflage du pneu intermédiaire accompagné du surgonflage du pneu extérieur facilite le retrait des clous.
This system would include two inflation valves (one for the exterior tire (3), the other for the special interior tire (4) which would be connected to the exterior by ribs (5) bearing on the grooves carrying the nails .)
The increase in the intermediate tire pushes the ribs that support and bring out the studs (if the tire has them). This principle is more expensive and complex to carry out but provides constant and regular support on the nails. In addition, the under-inflation of the intermediate tire accompanied by the over-inflation of the outer tire facilitates the removal of the studs.

Ce principe apporte aussi l'avantage de trouver deux pneumatiques en un seul. Ceci permet donc d'assurer ,en cas de crevaison du pneu extérieur, une compensation dans le comportement du pneu lors d'un tel problème.  This principle also brings the advantage of finding two tires in one. This therefore ensures, in the event of a puncture of the outer tire, compensation in the behavior of the tire during such a problem.

Quel que soit la forme, l'angle et l'orientation des rainures apportant la structure et la diversité du pneu, ce sera le propre à chaque marque. I1 pourra y avoir une multitude de formes pour les rainures. (droites, courbes, en Z, ..) (fig 1,2,3)
Le principe du double pneu permet ainsi d'avoir, soit un pneu route sèche, soit un pneu route détrempée ou enneigée.
Whatever the shape, angle and orientation of the grooves providing the structure and diversity of the tire, it will be specific to each brand. There may be a multitude of shapes for the grooves. (straight, curved, in Z, ..) (fig 1,2,3)
The principle of the double tire thus makes it possible to have either a dry road tire or a soggy or snowy road tire.

Ce principe rejoint le précédant. Au lieu d'avoir une partie montante, il s'agira de faire descendre une partie de la bande de roulement ou du moins quelques uns des éléments porteurs. This principle joins the previous one. Instead of having a rising part, it will be a question of lowering part of the tread or at least some of the load-bearing elements.

I1 s'en suit alors une réduction de gomme en appui sur la route et aussi une augmentation de la largeur des rainures d'évacuation. I1 then follows a reduction of rubber bearing on the road and also an increase in the width of the evacuation grooves.

(fig 10,11,12) : Après avoir réduit la pression de la chambre basse (30), on effectue une surpression en chambre (20) ce qui fait descendre la partie (40) qui pourra être de forme variable)
I1 sera nécessaire que l'équilibre des pressions soit maintenu suivant les normes du constructeur sur ce nouveau type de pneumatique.
(fig 10,11,12): After reducing the pressure in the lower chamber (30), an overpressure is made in the chamber (20) which lowers the part (40) which may be of variable shape)
It will be necessary for the pressure balance to be maintained according to the manufacturer's standards for this new type of tire.

chambre 30 :2kg/cm2
route neige :chambre20 :3kg/cm2
