- the protective ply 19 comprises the assembly, the reinforcing elements 48 of the assembly forming the protective reinforcing elements of the protective ply 19.
- one of the working plies 16, 18, here 16, comprises the assembly, the reinforcing elements of the assembly forming the working reinforcing elements of the working ply 16, 18. It could also be the ply 18.
- each working ply 16, 18 comprises an assembly, the reinforcing elements 48 of each assembly forming the working reinforcing elements of each working ply 16, 18.
- FIG. 9 shows a tire according to a third embodiment of the invention.
- the crown reinforcement 14 consists of a working reinforcement 15 comprising two working plies.
- the crown reinforcement 14 is devoid of protective reinforcement.
- one of the working plies 16, 18, here the ply 16 comprises the assembly, the reinforcing elements 48 of the assembly forming the working reinforcing elements of the working ply 16 It could also be the ply 18.
- each working ply 16, 18 comprises an assembly, the reinforcing elements 48 of each assembly forming the working reinforcing elements of each ply. working 16, 18.
- Tire plies according to the invention were compared with a ply of a control tire T0 of the state of the art.
- the tested knits are manufactured according to two bar displacement encodings, a type 1 encoding and a type 3 encoding.
- the type 3 encoding corresponds to that described with reference to the fifth embodiment of the invention described above. and illustrated in Figures 6 and 7.
- the type 1 coding is: Bar 1: 10/01 // - Bar 2: 00/11/00/33/22/33 // - Bar 3: 00 // - Bar 4: 22/11/22/00/11/00 //.
- the lap of the tire T0 comprises an elastomer matrix in which metal cables of structure 3 + 9 are embedded, each wire having a diameter equal to 0.18 mm.
- Each sheet of each tire T1 to T6 according to the invention comprises an elastomer matrix in which is embedded a knit fabric with reinforcing elements.
- Each reinforcing element is a wire element comprising a single multifilament strand comprising a plurality of elementary monofilaments and in which each elemental monofilament is made of textile material.
- the textile material is either aramid or nylon.
- the protective ply is made by calendering the assembly between two elastomer strips 1 mm thick.
- the knit is coated or not with a layer of adhesion adhesive of the RFL type.
- the knit is manufactured using one of the two codings previously described as well as a given mesh density. The mesh density is determined according to standard NF EN 14971.
- Perforation tests were performed on each sheet manufactured during which each sheet is exposed to an indenter exerting an imposed displacement force so that the reverse side or the face of the knit fabric is exposed to the indenter.
- the layers are fixed on a rigid support and the indenter is fixed on a force sensor.
- the indenter is a nail having a cylindrical and longitudinal body 4.5 mm in diameter and a tapered head of 30 ° angle and having a flat end of 1 mm in diameter. The indenter is moved in contact with the sheet until it is perforated. The variation of the force exerted on the web is measured as a function of displacement.
- the value of the puncture force corresponds to the maximum force applied to the sheet until it is perforated.
- the values of the perforation force of the webs comprising the assemblies tested in Table 2 below were collected.
- the web of the tire according to the invention supports a maximum perforation force much greater than the sheet of the control tire. Indeed, the maximum force of perforation is 2.5 to 4.1 times greater on the assemblies of the tires according to the invention (T1 to T6) compared to the control T0.
- the assembly formed by the knitted fabric by the reinforcing elements may be arranged at other positions of the tire than those described above, for example in the carcass reinforcement, in the frame of hooping or in the lower zone, for example in the bead.
- each reinforcing element is a wire element consisting of a metal monofilament.
- the metal monofilament then has a diameter ranging from 0.10 mm to 0.40 mm.
- each reinforcing element is a wire reinforcing element consisting of two multifilamentary textile strands wound around each other.
