Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flap accessory, generally used with a flap to obstruct the valve passage orifice provided on a mounting rim of a tire with which this flap is used.
- a flap is an elastomeric protective ring disposed between, on one side, the inner tube and, on the other side, the bottom of the groove of the rim and the beads of the tire.
- the flap prevents pinching of the air chamber between the rim and the beads; it protects the inner tube from contact or friction with the rim. This is particularly useful because a rim can be brought to high temperatures during driving given the proximity of the braking device.
- patent FR 2 177 645 proposes a reinforcement assembly composed, on the one hand, of a rigid insert, for example of plastic material, which is received in the orifice of the flap intended for the passage of the valve and forming the internal wall and on the other hand, a layer of mixture of reinforced elastomer forming a coating of the radially inner surface of the flap all around said insert.
- the rigid insert and the reinforced elastomer layer limit the creep of the flap in the valve passage opening of the rim; in addition, the insert prevents movement of the valve stem towards the brake drum.
- the objective of the invention is to provide a flap accessory which does not have the drawbacks of the state of the art and which in particular makes it possible to limit or even cancel the creep of the flap in the valve passage orifice.
- the flap accessory is characterized in that it is in the form of a molded part made of a single material, said part comprising a generally oblong base having a face intended to be in contact with a flap in the mounting position and a hollow cylindrical insert projecting from said face of the base, said base being provided with an orifice in the extension of the insert to allow the passage of an inflation valve stem in the insert.
- the accessory according to the invention is produced in a single piece with a moldable, thermally resistant material, that is to say which can withstand temperatures up to at least 180 ° C. without practically exhibiting deformation. creep over time.
- This good temperature resistance makes it possible to prevent the flap from creeping over time and prevents said flap from at least partially occupying the valve passage orifice of the rim, even in the case where high temperatures are reached following particularly severe driving conditions, in particular repetitive braking.
- the flap accessory according to the invention is preferably made of plastic and in particular of polyamide.
- the base of said accessory is in the form of a thin plate intended to be inserted between the flap and the rim and having a surface such that said plate covers the orifice for the passage of the rim valve while overflowing with each side of said orifice.
- the cylindrical insert it is intended to be forcibly inserted in the cylindrical valve passage orifice provided in the flap, which forms the inner wall while maintaining the contacting of the plate forming the base against the flap as well as the holding in place of said base whatever the constraints imposed respectively on the flap and on the rim.
- force inserted it is meant that the insert is introduced into the flap by elastically deforming said flap so as to create radial forces of said flap on the insert in order to make the latter integral with said flap.
- the material constituting the base of the accessory must confer on said base an appropriate elasticity in longitudinal bending so that this base is deformed and thus can follow the rounded shape of the flap.
- the base of the accessory on its face intended to be in contact with a flap, is provided with ribs or protuberances in relief passing through it over the entire width of the base; these ribs or protuberances which may or may not be regularly spaced are intended to reduce or even prevent the creep of the material constituting the flap parallel to said base and to give said base greater rigidity in bending around an axis extending substantially in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the ribs.
- the flap accessory according to the invention is provided with at least one opening made in the vicinity of its connection with the base and of appropriate dimensions.
- FIG. 1 shows, top view, the outer face of the accessory intended to come into contact with a flap
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section of the accessory shown in Figure 1 in the direction of its length along the section plane II-II;
- FIG. 3 shows a cross section of the accessory of Figure 1 along a section plane III-III perpendicular to the section plane II-II.
- the accessory 10 is of generally oblong shape and consists of an insert 1 and a base 2, the insert and base assembly forming a single piece molded from a thermally resistant material.
- the view of FIG. 1 represents a view of the face of the accessory intended to come into contact with the radially internal surface of a flap when the latter is in place in a tire mounted on a rim.
- the base 2 of the accessory 10 is in the form of a thin plate of rectangular shape extended, on each of its short sides, by two truncated half-discs (it is, in this variant , substantially oblong, but of course any shape may be suitable as soon as the valve passage opening on the rim is covered by the accessory).
- the base surface must be such that it can cover the rim valve passage opening by projecting it in all directions of the plane of said base by at least 5 mm.
- the plate forming the base 2 is pierced with an orifice 1 1 (represented in FIG. 1 by the hatched section marked S) and carries the insert 1 of hollow cylindrical shape arranged so as to be in the extension of said orifice 1 1.
- the insert 1 is integral with the base 2 and is off-center in the length of the base, this in order to correspond to the position of the valve passage orifice provided on the flap in which it is intended to be inserted.
- the insert 1 is also centered in the width direction of the base 2.
- the thickness of the plate forming the base 2 is preferably chosen between 0.5 and 2.5 mm.
- the height of the insert measured relative to the face of the base on which it projects, is such that in the event of creep of the flap during rolling, the part of the valve resting on the radially outer crown of the valve orifice of the flap, comes to rest on the upper part of the insert and cannot be pushed back until it comes in brake drum contact.
- the accessory 10 is made by molding in polyamide (Nylon 66) ensuring to said accessory a satisfactory resistance to thermal creep up to a temperature of 190 ° C.
- polyamide Nylon 66
- the choice of material insofar as it is moldable and makes it possible to ensure good dimensional resistance when it is brought to temperatures up to at least 180 ° C. and it gives the base an elasticity of deformation appropriate to be able to adapt to and follow the geometry of the flap.
- rectilinear ribs 3 are molded at regular intervals over the entire width of said base on the and across the insert area. These ribs are preferably continuous and of a sufficient height to create a sort of anchoring of the base in the material constituting the flap and thus reduce the deformation of said flap in a direction substantially parallel to the base in particular since this flap is subject to severe temperature conditions.
- the ribs 3 have, in the example described, the shape of half-cylinders; This form is of course not limiting.
- the insert 1 has the shape of a slightly flared cylinder in its zone of connection to the base 2 and is provided in its part furthest from said base 2 with several extra thicknesses 4 having the form of rings completely surrounding the insert 1 on its outer face (corresponding to the face intended to come into contact with the flap during assembly of the 'insert in the valve passage opening provided on the flap).
- the role of these extra thicknesses 4 is, while allowing the insertion of the insert into the orifice provided on the flap, to prevent any unwanted accidental exit. It is advisable to give said extra thicknesses a shape suited to this function; in the example chosen and seen in section as represented in FIG.
- a general shape sawtooth was chosen, the thickness of each tooth increasing in the direction of the base 2.
- the orifice 1 1 in the extension of the insert 1 allows the passage of the stem of a valve.
- openings 5 are provided on the insert 1.
