FILLED COMPOSITE SOLID RUBBER TIRE FOR VEHICLES

摘要

A consolidated filler segment for composite solid rubber tires is made by reducing scrap rubber articles to small pieces, placing the pieces in a mold having the configuration of the desired tire filler segment, heating the pieces in the mold while applying pressure thereto sufficient to consolidate the mold contents to a density of from 15 to 75 pounds per cubic foot, cooling the consolidated product, and removing it from the mold. The vehicle tire product comprises a tire casing and within the casing a filler comprising abutting segments made from the molded and consolidated rubber pieces aforesaid.
