Description

曰月糸田 β
空気入りタイヤ
技 術 分 野
本発明は、 自己シ一ル機能を有する空気入りタイヤに関し、 さらに詳 しくは、 タイヤ内面に粘着性シ一ラントを具備する空気入りタイヤに関 する。
背 景 技 術
従来、走行中に釘等を踏んだときのタイヤのパンク対策として、 (1) タイヤ内部に剛性部を内挿しておくランフラットタイヤ、 (2) パンクし たときエアバルブからタイャ内に液状修理剤を注入して穴を塞ぐ方法、 (3) 夕ィャ製造時に予め夕ィャ内面に粘着性シーラントを積層しておく 方法等の提案がある。
しかし、 (1) のランフラットタイヤは剛性物により重量が増加し、乗 心地も悪ィ匕するという問題がある。 (2) の修理液を注入する方法は重量 化の問題は(1) よりも少ないが、 パンク時に運転者が車外に出て注入作 業を行わなければならないという問題があつた。
これら(1) 、 (2) に対し、 (3) の方法は、 (1) のような重量化が少な く、 かつ(2) のようにパンク時に人が注入作業を行わなくても自己シ一 ルするという利点がある。
しかし、 (3) は(1) や(2) よりも優れた点を有する方法であるが、粘 着性シーラントをタイヤ内面にある程度の厚みで配置する必要があるた め、 通常のタイヤに比べると重量増加を避けることができず、 自動車の 燃費を増大させるようになる。
また、 (3) の方法は、 粘着性シーラントがタイヤ内面に露出するため、 タイヤを車両に装着したり、 取り外す等の作業時には、 粘着性シーラン トが手に付着する等、 作業性の悪いものであった。 発 明 の 開 示
本発明の目的は、 タイヤ内面に粘着性シ一ラントを具備する空気入り タイヤにおいて、 重量増加を極力小さく抑制可能にすると共に、 取り扱 い作業性に優れた空気入りタイヤを提供することにある。
上記目的を達成するための本発明の空気入りタイヤは、 少なくともト レツド部におけるタイヤ内面にエアバリア膜を配置し、該エアバリア膜 と前記タイヤ内面との間に空間部を形成すると共に、前記エアバリァ膜 の空間部側の表面に粘着性シ一ラントを積層したことを特徴とするもの である。
このように、粘着性シ一ラントを積層したエアバリア膜を、空間部を 介、在 ί させて、 タイヤ内面に配置したことにより、 タイヤに釘等が刺さ た場合に、 釘等の剌さつた部分の空間部から空気が夕ィャ内側に排出さ れると同時に、 その部分のェアバリァ膜が粘着性シーラントを介して夕 ィャ内面に貼り付くため、 タイャ内に充填された空気の漏洩を防止する ことができる。
このようにシール機能を主としてェアバリァ膜で行い、 粘着性シ一ラ ントはエアバリア膜の接着剤として機能するので、 使用すべき粘着性シ 一ラントの量を少なくし、 タイャ重量を軽量化することができる。
また、 粘着性シ一ラントをエアバリア膜の内側に配置したため、 粘着 性シ一ラントが露出しておらず、 タイヤの取り付け、 取り外し作業時に、 粘着性シーラントが作業者に直接触れることがない。
図面の簡単な説明
図 1は、本発明の空気入りタイヤの一例を示す子午線半断面図である。 図 2は、 図 1の空気入りタイヤに釘が剌さったときの状態を示す要部 断面図である。
図 3は、 図 1の空気入りタィャの要部拡大断面図である。 発明を実施するための最良の形態
以下、添付図面に示す本発明の実施形態を詳細に説明する。
図 1は本発明の空気入りタイャの一例であり、 子午線半断面を示して いる。 図 1において、 1はトレッド部、 2はサイドウォール部、 3はビ ード部である。 左右一対のビ一ド部 3 , 3間には力一カス層 4が装架さ れ、 そのタイャ幅方向両端部がそれぞれビードコア 5の廻りにタイヤ内 側から外側へ卷き上げられている。 トレツド部 1におけるカーカス層 4 の外周側にはベルト層 6が設けられ、 カーカス層 4の内側にはィンナ一 ライナ一 7が配置されている。
インナ一ライナー 7の内面のトレッド部 1に対応する位置には、 タイ ャ内面に沿って複数の独立した気室を形成するエアバリァ膜 1 0が配置 され、 このエアバリア膜 1 0とタイヤ内面のインナ一ライナー 7との間 に空間部 8が形成されている。 また、 エアバリア膜 1 0の空間部 8側の 表面には粘着性シ一ラント 9が積層されている。 即ち、 エアバリア膜 1 0には粘着性シーラント 9が内貼りされている。
図 2はタイヤ内面の要部を拡大して示すものである。 図 1に示すよう に、 インナ一ライナー 7の内面には、 貼着用フィルム 1 1が接着され、 その内側に、 複数のドーム状の気室を形成するエアバリア膜 1 0が貼り 付けられている。
ここで、 粘着性シ一ラント 9を内貼りしたエアバリア膜 1 0は貼着用 フィルム 1 1を配置せずに、 直接インナ一ライナー 7の表面に貼り付け ても良いが、 粘着性シ一ラント 9を内貼りしたエアバリア膜 1 0を予め 貝占着用フィルム 1 1に配置したものを作成し、 これを図 2のようにイン ナーライナ一 7に貼着するようにすると、 効率的に貼り付け作業を行う ことができる。
このように、 粘着性シ一ラント 9を内貼りしたエアバリア膜 1 0を空 間部 8を介在させてタイヤ内面に貼り付けたため、 図 1に示すように釘 1 2が貫通するように剌さったとき、 その釘 1 2の周囲に貼り付くエア バリア膜 1 0と粘着性シ一ラント 9の量 (面積) が多くなり、 空気の漏 洩防止機能を良好にすることができる。
貫通した釘 1 2が高速走行時の遠心力により拔けた場合には、 ェアバ リア膜 1 0が粘着性シーラント 9を介してタイヤ内面に貼り付き、 釘 1 2が抜けた穴を塞ぐように機能するため、 タイヤ内に充填された空気の 漏洩を防止することができる。
上記パンク孔のシール機能はエアバリア膜を主にして作用するため使 用すべき粘着性シ一ラントの量が、 粘着性シ一ラントだけでシールする 場合に比べて少なくて済み、 従来の粘着性シ一ラント使用のパンク防止 用空気入りタイヤと比較して軽量化することができる。
また、 粘着性シ一ラントはエアバリア膜に内貼りされているため、粘 着性シーラントが露出しておらず、 タイヤの車両に対する取り付け、取 り外し作業を粘着性シーラントに直接触れることなく円滑に行うことが できる。
本発明において粘着性シーラントは、 粘着性でシール性を有するもの であれば特に限定されないが、 例えば、 イソブチレン ·イソプレンゴム ( I I R) 1 0 0重量部に対してポリブテンを 3 0〜 3 0 0重量部添加 してなるシ一ラント等の材料を例示することができる。
また、粘着性シーラントの厚さは 0 · 1〜 4 mmが好ましい。 粘着性 シ一ラントの厚さが 0 . 1 mmより小さいと、 エアバリア膜のタイヤ内 面に対する接着力が十分 なくなり、 4 mmより大きいと、 シール性は 問題ないが、 タイャ重量が大きくなり過ぎる。
エアバリア膜は、 エアに対して非透過性で柔軟性を有するものであれ ば特に限定されない。 例えば、 ポリエチレンやポリエチレンビュルァセ テート等からなる膜により形成される。
また、 エアバリア膜の厚さは、 0 . 0 1 0 . 5 mmが好ましく、 0 0 l mmより小さいと膜強度が低くなり、 0 . 5 mmより大きいと、 膜 が自在に変形し難くなり、 パンク孔に密着し難くなる。
エアバリア膜の厚さと空間部の厚さの合計厚さ Wは 5〜2 O mmが好 ましい (図 3参照) 。 この合計厚さ Wが 5 mmより小さいと、 空間が小 さ過ぎ、 エアバリア膜の量がパンク孔を塞ぐのに十分でなくなる。 また、 合計厚さ Wが 2 0 mmより大きいとタイヤ内面へ追従し難くなり、 また、 かさばる為に貼付作業も困難になる。
以上、 本発明の好ましい実施形態について詳細に説明したが、 添付ク レームによって規定される本発明の精神及び範囲を逸脱しない限りにお いて、 これに対して種々の変更、 代用及び置換を行うことができると理 解されるべきである。
産業上の利用可能性
本発明によれば、少なくともトレッド部におけるタイヤ内面にェアバ リァ膜を配置し、該エアバリァ膜とタイヤ内面との間に空間部を形成す ると共に、 ェアバリァ膜の空間部側の表面に粘着性シ一ラントを積層し たから、 タイヤに釘等が刺さった場合に、空気の漏洩を効果的に防止す ることができる。
しかも、 シール機能を主としてエアバリア膜で行い、 粘着性シーラン 卜はェアバリァ膜の接着剤として機能するので、使用すべき粘着性シ一 ラントの量を少なくし、 タイヤ重量を軽量化することができる。
また、粘着性シ一ラントをエアバリア膜の内側に配置したため、 粘着 性シ一ラントが露出しておらず、 タイヤの取り付け、 取り外し作業時に、 粘着性シーラントが作業者に直接触れることがない。
従って、 優れた自己シール機能を有すると共に、軽量で取り扱いが容 易な空気入りタイヤを提供することができる。
