Definitions

  • the present invention relates to blades for curing molds. More particularly to composite type blades that have thicknesses which can easily be tailored to the tire tread property requirements and a method of fabricating such composite blades.
  • Blades for tire curing molds are well known in the art of tire manufacture. Such blades are conventionally made from a running length or strip of a metallic material such as steel, stainless steel or brass.
  • the strip is generally about 0.4 mm to 1 mm thick and has a length of about 10 to 40 mm. Sometimes the strips are of solid form; other times perforated strips are used to form the blades.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,880,020 a method and apparatus for making blades, is disclosed which enables small quantity lots of a multiplicity of different styles of blades to be made rapidly and economically.
  • the method and apparatus permits blades to be blanked out from the stack of material by a plurality of punch and die sets while the stock remains securely attached to an endless loop carrier. If so desired, a plurality of sub-presses are used for forming bends in the blade.
  • WO 99/21701 discloses a method of fabricating a composite blade employing the steps of forming a blade blank and encapsulating at least one end in a second material by placing the end in a die and molding an enlarged cross-section of a second material around the end.
  • the second material is a powdered metal.
  • the blades create sipes in a tread during the vulcanization step of a green tire in a curing mold.
  • a sipe is a narrow groove or incision in the tread and closes when located in the footprint, i.e., in the contact patch of the tire tread with a flat surface at zero speed and under normal load and inflation pressure.
  • the sipes may extend circumferentially or laterally about the tread in a straight, curved or zig-zag manner and may be as deep as the block and rib defining grooves.
  • the sipes may pass through or cut one or both sides of the ribs and blocks or be confined to their interior.
  • sipes lying in planes which are not perpendicular to tangents to the surface of the tread at their point of intersection. It is further known to use sipes having a depth which varies along their length as well as sipes which have varying thicknesses. However, the manufacturing of such blades is expensive and lacks flexibility.
  • the invention provides a method of manufacturing a composite blade having at least two blade portions for a tire curing mold comprising the steps of: providing a first strip of metallic material commonly used to form blades for tire curing molds; stamping or punching out from the strip various shapes to make main blade portions; providing a second strip of metallic material; stamping or punching out from the second strip a set of second blade portions having longitudinal and lateral dimensions; assembling a main portion and at least one of the second blade portions; and affixing the different blade portions together to form the composite blade.
  • the blade portions are affixed by the step of welding or soldering the blade portions together.
  • the method further may have the steps of providing further strips of metallic material; stamping or punching out from the further strips further sets of blade portions having a longitudinal and lateral dimensions which are preferably at most equal to those of the main blade portions; assembling a main and at least one of the second blade portions together with at least one of the further portions; and affixing the different blade portions together.
  • a composite blade obtained through the method is also disclosed.
  • the second strip of metallic material has the same thickness as the first strip and the metal of the second strip of metallic material has the same composition as the first strip.
  • the composite blades may have any number of slots or cuts to form various projections.
  • a mold including the blade and a tire cured in the mold are also disclosed.
  • FIG. 1 is a view of a first strip used to form the main portion of the composite blade according to the invention
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 show various main portions of differing shapes used in assembling the composite blades according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a view of a second strip used to form second portions of the composite blade according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 6 to 10 show various second blade portions of differing shapes used in assembling the blades according to the invention
  • FIGS. 11 to 17 are views of substantially flat composite blades obtained by using the process according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 18 to 20 are side views of composite blades having varying depths obtained by using the process according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 20 to 23 are top views on composite blades according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 24 to 25 are schematic sections across a block of rubbery tread material.
  • FIG. 1 a portion of a first strip ( 100 ) of metallic material commonly used to form blades for tire curing molds is shown.
  • the resultant blades are stamped or punched out from the strip ( 100 ) and take various shapes as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 .
  • the blades may have any number of slots ( 120 ) or cuts ( 121 ) to form the various projections ( 122 ).
  • the blades may be wavy as shown in FIG. 3 or have bends at their extremities (see FIG. 4).
  • a second strip ( 200 ) of metallic material commonly used to form blades for tire curing molds is stamped or punched to form a second set of blade portions out from the strip ( 200 ) which may take various shapes as shown in FIGS. 6 to 10 .
  • This second strip ( 200 ) of metallic material may have the same thickness as the first strip ( 100 ), a somewhat higher or smaller thickness. Usually the thickness of the first strip ( 100 ) ranges between 0.3 and 1 mm and the thickness of the second strip ( 200 ) between 0.3 and 0.8 mm.
  • the metallic material of the second strip ( 200 ) may be the same as the one of the first strip ( 100 ).
  • Preferred metallic material is steel because of its low cost.
  • the main blade portion ( 101 ) made out of the first strip ( 100 ) is usually at least partly anchored in the mold by holes ( 21 ) (see FIG. 2). This anchoring must be sufficient to insure that the composite blades do not pull out when the tread is extracted from the tire curing mold.
  • the blade portion ( 201 ) made out of the second strip ( 200 ) is or is not anchored in the mold, depending on the design of the blade.
  • the second blade portions ( 201 ) made out of the second strip ( 200 ) may take the shape of a rectangle (FIG. 6), parallelogram (FIG. 7), triangle (FIG. 9), trapezoid (FIG. 10) and may basically have any geometrical shape which is considered by a man skilled in the art to confer favorable properties to the tire tread. They may be flat as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, or they may be given a curved or wavy shape as shown in FIG. 8, depending on the fact that they will be assembled to a corresponding flat, curved or wavy main portion obtained out of the first strip ( 100 ). Alternatively the main portion ( 101 ) and the second portion ( 201 ) may be given at first a flat shape and after assembly stamped in order to obtain the desired wavy, sinusoidal or crimped or similar shape.
  • the main and second blade portions ( 101 , 201 ) are affixed together. This may be done by gluing using a high temperature epoxy adhesive or a high temperature cement. Another possibility is to subject the assembled portions to a combined compression and heat treatment. A still further possibility is to braze or solder the two portions. The presently preferred way is to weld the different portions together along their lateral adjacent sides, or at multiple points called “spot welding”.
  • the composite blades ( 300 through 312 ), according to the invention, may be fabricated at low cost in a great variety of shapes.
  • FIGS. 11 through 23 illustrate a few of these exemplary shapes, featuring different depths, widths and lengths.
  • FIG. 11 shows a blade ( 300 ) providing a sipe having a greater width in its radially middle portion
  • FIG. 12 shows a blade ( 301 ) having substantially a width double to the one offered by single metallic strips ( 100 ) or ( 200 ).
  • FIG. 13 shows blades ( 302 , 303 , 304 ) providing sipes with laterally stepped off widths, allowing to tailor the elastomeric block stiffness to the requirements; such sipes influence locally transverse deformation of the blocks they are included in.
  • FIG. 16 shows a blade ( 305 ) providing a sipe having on part of its lateral length and on part of its radially inner portion, a higher width.
  • FIG. 17 shows a blade ( 306 ) producing a sipe having on part of its length a higher width, which length decreases towards the tread surface.
  • FIG. 18 shows a blade ( 307 ) providing a sipe having on both sides a higher width and a depth decreasing from both sides towards the center.
  • FIG. 19 shows a blade ( 308 ) providing a sipe having a first side a higher width and a depth decreasing towards the second side.
  • FIG. 20 shows a blade ( 309 ) providing a sipe having a lateral length decreasing radially towards the tread bottom and a higher sipe width portion with a width and length remaining constant.
  • the blades ( 310 , 311 ) obtained according to the method of the invention may include the steps of bending.
  • the bending step may take place before or after assembly of the different blade portions.
  • the blades may fuirther be crimped, notching or perforated before or after assembly.
  • a blade ( 312 ) is shown where only part of the two metal sheets ( 101 and 201 ) overlap.
  • the sheets ( 101 ) and ( 201 ) can have the same height or different heights.
  • FIGS. 24 and 25 the possibility of making interlocking sipes in the tread blocks is illustrated.
  • a block includes usually several sipes. In the instant case, the further sipes may have the same section than the one shown in the drawing.
  • a block ( 241 ) is defined by laterally and circumferentially extending grooves ( 242 ), wherefrom only one kind can be represented in this cross-section.
  • the block ( 241 ) includes sipe ( 245 ) which has in the case of the drawing throughout its height, substantially uniform thickness.
  • the sipe ( 245 ) shows a protrusion ( 243 ) on one side and a recess ( 247 ) on the other.
  • Such sipe ( 245 ) is easily obtained according to the inventive method by assembling to the radially outer part of a first side of a main portion ( 101 ) as shown in FIG. 2, a second blade portion ( 201 ) as shown in FIG. 6; a further similar second blade portion ( 201 ), as shown in FIG. 6 is assembled to the radially inner part of main portion ( 101 ).
  • a block ( 251 ) is defined by laterally and circumferentially extending grooves ( 252 ).
  • the block includes sipe ( 255 ) which has in the case of the drawing throughout its height, substantially uniform thickness. However, slightly above half-height, the sipe shows a protrusion ( 254 ) on one side and a recess ( 253 ) on the other.
  • Such sipe is easily obtained according to the inventive method by assembling to a main portion ( 101 ) as shown in FIG. 2, two blade portion as shown in FIG. 6, to one side, and more specifically a first one ( 101 ) to its radially outer portion and a second one ( 201 ) to its radially inner portion, leaving a free portion in the middle of the main portion ( 101 ), which free portion defines in the cured tire the protrusion ( 254 ).
  • a blade portion ( 201 ) as shown in FIG. 6 is assembled, which blade portion defines the recess ( 253 ) in the cured tire.
  • the loss due to wear of the non-directional interlocking (FIG. 24) or the change from non-directional to directional of the interlocking (FIG. 25) may be controlled by giving the recess ( 247 , 253 ) and similarly the protrusion ( 243 , 254 ) a small inclination. This can easily be implemented by assembling second blade portions ( 201 ), as shown in FIG. 7 to the main portion ( 101 ) of the composite blade ( 300 through 312 ).
