Agricultural machine pneumatic tire with specific lug design
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11820176B2) discloses a pneumatic tire designed for agricultural machines. The tire features a tread with a specific configuration, including a plurality of lugs extending radially between the inner surface of the tread and the tread surface that contacts the ground. These lugs are divided into first lugs that extend from the first lateral tread edge towards the equatorial plane, each with a shoulder portion and a nose portion at the equatorial plane. The patent specifies various dimensions and angles for the lugs, such as lug width, length of the inner nose edge, and gap between lugs, to optimize the tire's performance.
Furthermore, the patent outlines specific size ratios and angles for the tire's tread surface, as well as the configuration of the lugs to ensure optimal functionality for agricultural applications. The tire's design aims to enhance traction, stability, and overall performance on various terrains typically encountered by agricultural machinery. By detailing the dimensions and characteristics of the lugs and tread surface, the patent provides a comprehensive guide for manufacturing pneumatic tires tailored for agricultural machines. The tire's construction, as described in the patent claims, is intended to improve efficiency and durability in demanding agricultural environments, ultimately benefiting farmers and operators using such equipment.
