PNEUMATIC TIRE TREAD Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B60C11/04 B60C11/13 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: tread contains multiple grooved obstructing elements (4) which are formed by and located in circular grooves (2). Herewith, obstructing elements (4) go from bottom (21) of circular groove (2) and blocks at least 70% of cross-section area of circular groove (2). Bending parameter of grooved obstructing elements (4) is determined as E·I/(h3l), where E is module at 10% elongation of material used for grooved obstructing elements, I is inertia moment of grooved obstructing element cross-section, h is height of grooved obstructing element, and l is width of grooved obstructing element, and ranges from 250 Pa to 350 Pa.

EFFECT: providing grooved obstructing elements wear to degree equivalent to tread section wear degree while reducing noise caused by resonance of air columns and maintaining retraction characteristics.
