The History Of The Development Of Tire

The first hollow wheel is the 1845 British Robert Thompson invented, he put forward the flexible bag filled with compressed air to ease the movement of vibration and shock. Although at the time of the tire is made of canvas with leather and glue, but have shown that tire has the advantages of lower rolling resistance.

According to this principle, in 1888 John Dunrup made of hollow rubber tires, and then Thomas has created a hollow with a rubber tire valve switch, but because there is no inner canvas, can not maintain a certain cross-sectional shape and section width.

With the emergence of motor vehicles, the development of pneumatic tires widely, the first tire sample is emerging in France in 1895, this is the single-tube tires made of plain canvas, although no pattern tread. Until between 1908 and 1912, the tire is a significant change, namely, the tread is to improve the service performance of the pattern, so as to take advantage of the tire tread pattern history, and increases the cross-section width of the tire, so that the use of low pressure, to ensure good cushioning characteristics.

With the skeleton material of tire: the 1892 British Burleigh Mill invented the cord, in 1910 for the production of this achievement, in addition to improving the quality of tire, expanded the tire race, also make the tire has molded the possibility. With the improvement of the quality of tire cord fabric, cotton fabric quality is also improved, replaced by artificial silk, rayon, and at the end of the 50’s by strong performance, better heat resistance and higher nylon, polyester cord in place of, and together with the development of steel cord radial tires, has strong competitiveness.

Carbon black filled rubber tire: Matt in 1904 created a carbon black filled rubber, large scale used to reinforce the tread tire cord after use, because before this, canvas than tread with tire damage faster, in the rubber, the amount of growth soon carbon black, carbon black used 30 years each of the 100 rubber in only about 20 copies, then mainly used in the tread on the black matrix, no, now has reached more than 50. Mixed with carbon black before the tread, tires running only about 6000km on the finish, and mixed with carbon black, the tire mileage will soon be greatly improved. Now a group of truck tires can run about 100000 km, in good roads, and even up to 200000 km.

1913-1926 years, because of the invention of cord and black tire technology, laid the foundation for the development of tire industry. Standardization of the outer edge of the tire manufacturing process, gradually improving, production faster than before, tire production grow with each passing day.

With the development of the automobile industry, tire technology has been constantly improving and improving.

In 1913, two Britons, Gray and Sloper, invented the radial tire and obtained the patent right. But because the equipment and skeleton materials can not meet the technical requirements of radial tire manufacturing to develop.

In 1946 June Michelin Co. was awarded the French Patent Office all steel radial tire patents, in 1948 the French Michelin Co. first production of radial tire, the tire due to significantly increase the service life and the use of performance, especially in driving can save fuel, while being hailed as a revolutionary tire industry.

In 1955 Italy Pirelli (Pirelli) company developed a half steel radial tire carcass, namely the rayon cord, belt with steel wire cord.
