- the coating layer 24 is formed from the bead portion 12 of the tire frame member 17 to the end portion 30A of the tread member 30, exposure of the tire frame member 17 is avoided. Therefore, the tire frame member 17 can be protected while maintaining physical properties such as rigidity required for the tire frame member 17 itself, and the weather resistance of the tire 10 can be improved.
- the tire frame member 17 is formed with a tire frame step portion 18 that defines an end surface 24A on the tire equatorial plane CL side of the coating layer 24. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the coating layer material from flowing out of the predetermined position during manufacture with the mold, and it is possible to accurately form the coating layer 24 at the predetermined position. Moreover, since the internal pressure of the space Z1 at the time of injection molding can be maintained, the coating layer 24 can be appropriately bonded to the tire frame member 17. Further, when the outer mold 72 is closed and pressed against the tire frame member 17, the outer mold 72 is pressed with a strong force against the convex part (upper step part) of the tire frame step part 17 and pressed against other parts. The pressure is relatively small. Therefore, deformation of the tire frame member 17 due to the injected coating layer material can be suppressed.
- the tire 90 according to the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the shape of the end portions of the coating layer and the tread member, and other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.
- a coating layer 44 is formed on the tire frame member 17 from the bead portion 12 to the tire frame step portion 18.
- the end portion of the coating layer 44 on the bead portion 12 side is disposed on the tire inner side (side filled with air) than the close contact portion of the bead portion 12 with the rim 20.
- An end face 44 ⁇ / b> A formed at the end of the coating layer 24 on the tread member 50 side is in close contact with the tire frame step 18.
- a flow stop wall 45 is formed on the outer side in the tire axial direction from the end surface 44 ⁇ / b> A of the coating layer 44.
- the flow stop wall 45 is a step portion formed in the coating layer 44 so that the tire equatorial plane CL side is lowered, and is integrally formed on the outer surface of the coating layer 44.
- the flow stop wall 45 is a part that defines a boundary with the end surface 50 ⁇ / b> A formed at the end of the tread member 50. Further, the coating layer 44 is formed such that the outer side in the tire axial direction is thicker than the inner side in the tire axial direction across the portion where the flow stop wall 45 is formed.
- stop wall part 45 was comprised by the level
- the height H2 of the flow stop wall portion 45 is preferably 0.2 mm or greater and 4.0 mm or less.
- the height H2 of the flow stop wall 45 is less than 0.2 mm, the effect of blocking the unvulcanized intermediate rubber 54 when the tread member 30 is formed as described later is reduced, and the height H2 exceeds 4.0 mm. This is because it is difficult to remove from the mold after the coating layer 44 is formed.
- the covering layer 44 is in close contact with the rim 20 and seals the gas-filled space in the tire 10.
- the material for the coating layer constituting the coating layer 44 the same material as the coating layer 24 of the first embodiment can be used. Moreover, it is preferable that it is the range similar to the coating layer 24 of 1st Embodiment as an elasticity modulus of the coating layer 44.
- a tread member 50 is disposed on the outer side of the tire frame member 17 in the tire radial direction.
- the tread member 50 is disposed along the tire frame member 17 and constitutes a tire tread that is a ground contact portion of the tire 90.
- the tread member 50 includes a tread member main body 52 and an intermediate rubber 54.
- the tread member main body 52 is laminated on the tire frame member 17 via an intermediate rubber 54.
- An end surface 50A in the tire axial direction of the tread member 50 is adjacent to the flow stop wall 45 of the covering layer 44 in the tire axial direction, and is disposed on the outer side in the tire axial direction from the end surface 44A of the covering layer 44.
- the end surface 44 ⁇ / b> A of the coating layer 44 is covered with the tread member 50, and the entire outer surface from the bead portion 12 to the tread member 50 of the tire frame member 17 is covered with the coating layer 44.
- the tread member 50 can be composed of the same rubber or thermoplastic resin as the tread member 30 of the first embodiment.
- the tire frame half body 17A is formed by injection molding, and then a coating layer material is injection molded to the tire frame half body 17A to manufacture the coating layer 44.
- the outer mold 72 of the first embodiment is provided with a step 72D necessary for forming the flow stop wall 45 as a mold of the tire frame step 18. Then, molding is performed in the same procedure as in the first embodiment. Thereby, the tire skeleton half body 17A in which the flow stop wall 45 is formed can be manufactured.
- a tread member main body 52 that is a precure tread (PCT) is bonded to the outside of the reinforcing layer 28.
- the tread member main body 52 is bonded by vulcanization bonding through an intermediate rubber 54.
- an unvulcanized intermediate rubber 54 is laminated on the reinforcing layer 28 of the tire frame member 17, and the tread member main body 52 is disposed on the outside thereof.
- the unvulcanized intermediate rubber 54 is disposed on the inner side in the tire axial direction with respect to the flow stop wall 45, and the tread member 50 formed by the intermediate rubber 54 after the vulcanization process.
- the tread member 50 is formed and the tire 50 is manufactured.
- the unvulcanized intermediate rubber 54 is blocked by the flow stop wall 45 when the tread member 50 is formed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the intermediate rubber 54 from flowing out of the prescribed position at the outer end portion in the tire axial direction of the tread member 50, and to appropriately form the end portion in the tire axial direction of the tread portion. . Moreover, the internal pressure of the space Z1 at the time of injection molding is maintained, and the coating layer 44 can be appropriately bonded to the tire frame member 17.
