PNEUMATIC TIRE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240010031 titled 'PNEUMATIC TIRE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a pneumatic tire that has a specific mounting direction on a vehicle. The tire has a tread with a main groove that extends in a circumferential direction and is located on the outer side of the vehicle when the tire is mounted. The tread also has a shoulder block defined by the main groove and located on the outer side of the vehicle. The shoulder block is formed with lateral grooves that connect to the main groove. Each lateral groove has a protrusion, which is a raised groove bottom, in a region adjacent to the main groove. The edges of the lateral groove are formed with incisions along the length direction of the lateral groove.

  • The tire has a specified mounting direction on a vehicle.
  • The tread has a main groove that extends in a circumferential direction.
  • The main groove is located on the outer side of the vehicle when the tire is mounted.
  • The tread has a shoulder block defined by the main groove.
  • The shoulder block is located on the outer side of the vehicle.
  • The shoulder block is formed with lateral grooves.
  • The lateral grooves connect to the main groove.
  • Each lateral groove has a protrusion in a region adjacent to the main groove.
  • The protrusion is a raised groove bottom.
  • The edges of the lateral groove have incisions along the length direction.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Improved traction and handling for vehicles.
  • Enhanced performance in wet or slippery conditions.
  • Increased stability and control during cornering.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Reduced risk of hydroplaning.
  • Improved grip on uneven or rough surfaces.
  • Minimized tire wear and tear.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved safety and stability for vehicles.
  • Enhanced driving experience in various road conditions.
  • Extended tire lifespan and durability.


Original Abstract Submitted

a pneumatic tire that is an example of an embodiment is a tire having a specified mounting direction with respect to a vehicle. a tread has: a main groove that extends in a circumferential direction and is located on a vehicle outer side when the pneumatic tire is mounted on the vehicle; and a shoulder block defined by the main groove and disposed on the vehicle outer side. the shoulder block is formed with lateral grooves connecting to the main groove. each lateral groove inside is formed with a protrusion that is a raised groove bottom in a region adjacent to the main groove, and edges of the lateral groove are formed with incisions along a length direction of the lateral groove.
