Abstract

Uses for rubber from used tyres include sealant material, e.g. for double glazing, comprising a strip cut from the surface of tyres. Bulk material comprising a plurality of strips cut from the surface of a tyre or tyres alone or in an admixture of other materials e.g. peat, compost or earth may be used as potting material, compost or earth supplement. The strips may also be used as bedding for animals and as material for a running or galloping track.

Description

RUBBER STRIP MATERIAL This invention relates to the use of rubber from tyres in strip form for a number of applications. The disposal of worn vehicle tyres has long been a problem, and the invention is particularly directed at beneficial uses therefor.
Tyres and particularly those for use on road vehicles, even when worn include a significant amount of rubber in useable condition. According to the present invention, such rubber is utilised for a utilitarian purpose in the form of a strip cut from the surface of a tyres. The utilitarian purpose may be as a seal or with a plurality of such strips as a bulk material.
Gaskets are used in many forms to seal against the passage of fluids, and it has been found that strips of rubber cut from the surface of tyres can be used to great effect in such applications. Therefore the invention also provides seal material comprising at least one strip cut from the surface of a tyre. A particular application of such a seal is in the manufacture of double glazing units in which the perimeter must be sealed against the ingress of moisture. Rubber cut from tyres can have characteristics eminently suitable to provide an effective seal.
The invention also provides bulk material comprising strips of rubber cut from one or more tyres.
Such bulk material can have a number of uses as discussed further below.
The strips may be cut using a conventional tyre cutter or "cutting gun" of the type used when cutting new tread into the working surface of the partially worn tyre. However, other cutting mechanisms can readily be employed. Further the rubber strips can be taken from any surface of a tyre but the invention particularly enables the productive use of rubber strips cut from the side walls of tyres.
The cross-section of strips cut from tyres in accordance with the invention can be varied in accordance with the cutting mechanisms employed. One typical cross-section is quadrilateral with one side larger than the opposite. Lateral compression of a strip having this cross-section provides an excellent progressive seal between planar surfaces of the kind that are juxtaposed in double glazing units and thus this form of strip is particularly suitable for the use as a seal.
The strips can be used in linear or curved form and it will be appreciated that a degree of curvature can be effectively imparted to a strip by a suitable selection of the section of tyre from which it is cut. The cutting process is in fact generally facilitated with curved strips as the strips can be curved to follow the contours of the tyre and can adopt any chosen profile.
This enables rubber strips removed from the working surface of the tyre when re-cutting the tyre to be used in accordance with the invention. The strips may be cut to length suitable for circular applications such as in pipework. The strip ends may be chamfered or tapered to preserve continuity of sealing at contiguous ends in curved as well as linear forms. Various possibilities exists for curved form strips depending on how cutting is achieved, for example, the strips may take the form of spirals or coils or may be rings i.e. endless strips.
The shape and dimensions of rubber strips cut from tyres in accordance with the invention will normally be selected on the basis of the intended final use thereof.
The dimensions may vary widely for example the length may be as much as 15 metres or as little as 1 cm while the cross-sectional area may be between 100 mm2 and 0.5 mm2.
A primary use of bulk material comprising strips of rubber cut from tyres in accordance with the invention is as or as part of bedding material for domestic animals in place of straw or hay. It has been found that straw can provoke illness in animals, conditions that will not result from the use of bulk material comprising rubber strips. Additionally, whereas straw or hay is subject to physical decomposition in use and must be disposed of after soiling, bulk material according to the invention does not decompose in the same way and can be cleaned and re-used on many occasions with difficulty.
Another use for bulk material comprising rubber strips according to the invention is as or as part of tracks for exercise yards for animals as well as for humans. Depending on the nature of the rubber itself, the material can be used alone or mixed with a less resilient particulate material such as ash or gravel as a running or galloping track.
Yet another use for bulk material comprising rubber strips in accordance with the invention is as a potting material or compost or earth supplement. In pots it can provide a well ventilated matrix in which plant roots can thrive, either in the presence of another substance such as peat, or alone where external nutrients are being provided. This is particularly beneficial in combination with other materials which are likely to compress if used on their own, minimising the flow of air therethrough.
As noted above, the shape and dimensions of rubber strips will be selected dependent on the intended final use. When this is as bedding for domestic animals, strips having lengths of the order of 40cm are normally appropriate with cross-sectional dimensions of for example 6mm by 2mm. When used as or as part of a running or galloping track, then strips of shorter length, say 2 to 3 cm, and a smaller cross-section; for example 4mm by 2mm can be suitable. As a potting material or supplement therefor, the same smaller size will normally be suitable. While these strip dimensions have been found suitable for the uses referred to, they are only presented as possible options.In some circumstances, the smaller strips can be usefully adopted in bedding either alone or in combination with strips of different sizes, and the use of very small strips or chips, for example of lOmm x lmm diameter is also contemplated as the or a primary or secondary bulk material in a chosen application. It will be appreciated that mixtures of strips having different dimensions can be especially useful in some situations, and mixing them with other materials is also contemplated, as noted above.
Different tyres have rubber of different compositions. For certain uses this will not be a factor requiring major consideration. However in some circumstances the resilience of the rubber has to be considered in which case a suitable selection can be made. For example, harder rubber strips may be better suited or bulk material to be used as a potting supplement. Further in bulk material comprising a mixture of the rubber strips and other material, the relative quantities can be selected with reference to the resilience of the strips themselves.

Claims (10)

CLAIMS:
1. Use of a strip cut from the surface of a tyre for a utilitarian purpose.
2. Use as claimed in Claim 1 wherein the utilitarian purpose is as a seal or, with a plurality of such strips, as a bulk material.
3. Seal material comprising at least one strip cut from the surface of a tyre.
4. Bulk material comprising a plurality of strips cut from the surface of one or more tyres.
5. Material as claimed in Claim 3 or Claim 4 wherein the strips are in linear or curved form.
6. Material as claimed in any one of Claims 3 to 5 wherein the ratio of the length of the strips to the cross-sectional area thereof lies in the range 1500 to 1.
7. Material as claimed in any one of Claims 3 to 6 wherein the ends of the strips are chamfered or tapered.
8. Material as claimed in any one of Claims 3 to 7 wherein the cross-section of the strips is quadrilateral with one side of greater length than the side opposite thereto.
9. Material as claimed in Claim 4 or any one of Claims 5 to 8 as dependent on Claim 4 wherein the material is a mixture of strips of at least two different lengths and/or cross-sectional areas.
10. Material as claimed in Claim 4, any one of Claims 5 to 8 as dependent on Claim 4 or Claim 9 additionally comprising in a mixture with the strips particulate material of lesser resilience than the strips and/or peat and/or compost and/or earth.
