PATTERNED COATING WITH TACKIFYING MATERIAL

摘要

A pneumatic tire carcass having at least one ply of stabilizing fabric. The stabilizing fabric has a machine direction and a cross machine direction. A plurality of high tenacity reinforcing yarn elements are disposed in the cross-machine direction. A plurality of machine direction yarn elements of relatively lower tenacity than the reinforcing yarn elements are disposed in the machine direction. The stabilizing fabric may have an adhesion layer on both sides of the stabilizing fabric and may also contain a patterned coating of a tackifing material overlaying a portion of at least one side of the stabilizing fabric. A segment of the stabilizing fabric is disposed within the carcass with the machine direction yarn elements being in substantial alignment with the direction of tire rotation and with the cross-machine direction oriented radially relative to the direction of tire rotation.
