RUBBERIZED FABRIC AND PNEUMATIC TIRE COMPRISING SAID RUBBERIZED FABRIC

摘要

A rubberized fabric includes at least one substantially metal-free non-woven web having a plurality of fibers. At least some of these fibers are bonded together. The fibers can be substantially oriented in one or more directions. The fabric also includes at least one elastomeric material at least partially covering the at least one non-woven web. The fabric can be incorporated in various locations in a pneumatic tire, such as in a belt structure. Additionally, a pneumatic tire may include one or more elongated rubberized structures including one or more layers of a non-woven web having a plurality of non-metallic fibers substantially oriented in one or more directions relative to the at least one surface.
