【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は空気入りタイヤに関するもので、特に、タイヤ周方向に平行または実質的に平行に延びる少なくとも1本の周方向溝をタイヤの赤道線近傍に備えた、主として乗用車または軽トラックなどに使用される空気入りタイヤに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般的に言って、空気入りタイヤの運動性能に対してトレッド・パターンの及ぼす影響は大きなものであって、特に、優れた運動性能の空気入りタイヤを得るためには、タイヤの赤道線近傍の剛性が高いトレッド・パターンが強く求められる。
そこで、本発明が対象とする空気入りタイヤ、すなわち、タイヤの周方向に平行または実質的に平行に延びる、少なくとも1本の周方向溝をタイヤの赤道線近傍に備えた空気入りタイヤでは、従来、この周方向溝に開口するような横方向溝を配置することを避ける設計手法が採用されている。換言すれば、周方向に連続して延びるリブをセンター部の周方向主溝に隣接して配置し、タイヤの赤道線近傍の剛性を確保しているわけである。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、タイヤの周方向に平行または実質的に平行に延びる、少なくとも1本の周方向溝をタイヤの赤道線近傍に備えた空気入りタイヤで、優れた運動性能を確保するために、上記のように、この周方向主溝に隣接して周方向に連続して延びるリブを配置すると、接地面内で周方向主溝以外に空気の逃げ場がないために、気柱管共鳴を起こしてタイヤの騒音(パターン・ノイズ)レベルが悪化するという不具合が生じる。
【0004】
本発明の目的は、タイヤの周方向に平行または実質的に平行に延びる、少なくとも1本の周方向溝をタイヤの赤道線近傍に備えた空気入りタイヤにおいて、上記のような従来技術の不具合を解消して、運動性能を低下することなく、タイヤの騒音(パターン・ノイズ)レベルの悪化を防止または抑制した空気入りタイヤを提供することである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明の空気入りタイヤは、タイヤ周方向に平行または実質的に平行に延びる、少なくとも1本の周方向溝をタイヤの赤道線近傍に備えた空気入りタイヤにおいて、(1)該周方向溝に隣接して、二等辺またはほぼ二等辺の三角形領域が、周方向に間隔を置いて多数形成され、(2)該二等辺三角形領域の頂点および二等辺のうちの一つの辺が該周方向溝の溝壁上に位置し、(3)該二等辺三角形領域の頂点から底辺に向けて、面取り深さが徐々に浅くなるように、5mm以上の長さにわたって面取りされていて、(4)該二等辺三角形領域の頂点の頂角は5乃至40度であり、(5)該周方向溝に開口し周方向に傾斜した方向に延びる多数の傾斜サイプが周方向に間隔を置いて配置され、該周方向溝と該傾斜サイプとによって該二等辺三角形領域が形成され、該二等辺三角形領域の二等辺のうちの他方の辺が該傾斜サイプ上に位置していることを特徴とするトレッド・パターンを備えた空気入りタイヤである。
【0006】
上記の目的を達成するために、本発明の空気入りタイヤでは、
該周方向溝は2mm以上の溝幅を有すること、および/または
該二等辺三角形領域の頂点が該周方向溝の溝底のレベルに位置すること、
が好ましい。
【0007】
上記の目的を達成するために、本発明の空気入りタイヤでは、
該二等辺三角形領域が曲面状に面取りされていてもよいが平面状に面取りされていてもよい。
【0008】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明の空気入りタイヤでは、該傾斜サイプは、周方向に対して傾斜して延びる部分のタイヤ赤道面に近い側が先に接地して、赤道面に遠い側が後に接地するように、車両に装着する際のタイヤの回転(正転)方向が指定されている、いわゆる方向性トレッド・パターンが形成される方向性傾斜サイプであることが好ましい。
【0009】
本明細書において、「方向性傾斜サイプ」とは、周方向に対して傾斜して延びるサイプであって、該サイプの傾斜して延びる部分のタイヤ赤道面に近い側が先に接地して、赤道面に遠い側が後に接地するように車両に装着する際のタイヤの回転(正転)方向が指定されている、いわゆる方向性トレッド・パターンが形成される方向性サイプを意味する。
【0010】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明の空気入りタイヤでは、
該周方向溝、該傾斜サイプおよび該二等辺三角形領域などによって形成されるトレッド・パターンが、タイヤの赤道線上の点に関して点対称のトレッド・パターンであること、および/または
該周方向溝に隣接し、該二等辺三角形領域が形成されている陸部が、実質的に周方向連続性を損なわない周方向リブであること
が好ましい。
【0011】
前述のように、本発明が対象にする空気入りタイヤ、すなわち、タイヤの周方向に平行または実質的に平行に延びる、少なくとも1本の周方向溝をタイヤの赤道線近傍に備えた空気入りタイヤでは、優れた運動性能を確保するために周方向主溝に隣接して周方向に連続して延びるリブを配置すると、接地面内で周方向主溝以外に空気の逃げ場がないために、気柱管共鳴を起こしてタイヤの騒音(パターン・ノイズ)レベルが悪化するという不具合が生じる。本発明の空気入りタイヤは上記のような構成であり、特に、(1)該周方向溝に隣接して、二等辺またはほぼ二等辺の三角形領域が、周方向に間隔を置いて多数形成され、(2)該二等辺三角形領域の頂点および二等辺のうちの一つの辺が該周方向溝の溝壁上に位置し、(3)該二等辺三角形領域の頂点から底辺に向けて、面取り深さが徐々に浅くなるように、少なくとも5mm以上の長さにわたって面取りされていて、(4)該二等辺三角形領域の頂点の頂角は5乃至40度であり、(5)該周方向溝に開口し周方向に傾斜した方向に延びる多数の傾斜サイプが周方向に間隔を置いて配置され、該周方向溝と該傾斜サイプとによって該二等辺三角形領域が形成され、該二等辺三角形領域の二等辺のうちの他方の辺が該傾斜サイプ上に位置しているので、嘴状の切り欠きすなわち面取りされた二等辺三角形領域の切り欠きが周方向溝に隣接して周方向に間隔を置いて多数形成されていることになり、その結果、この嘴状の切り欠きによって気柱管共鳴の発生を押さえ、同時に、空気の逃げ道が作られるので、音圧が低下して、タイヤの騒音(パターン・ノイズ)レベルの悪化が防止または抑制される。
