Decorative rhombus pattern on pneumatic tire sidewall
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11878556B2) discloses a pneumatic tire design featuring a unique decorative area on the sidewall surface. The design includes a series of planes with a rhombus shape arranged in a tightly packed manner. These planes have specific characteristics such as protruding and recessed vertices, forming steps between them. The planes align in different directions, creating a visually appealing pattern that follows the curved surface shape of the sidewall.
Furthermore, the patent details various configurations for the decorative area, including different arrangements of the rhombus planes in rows along the tire's circumferential and radial directions. The design can be implemented as a band-shaped area encircling the tire or in a specific shape within the sidewall surface. Additionally, the patent specifies the location and dimensions of the decorative area, ensuring it is positioned within a certain range from the tire's maximum width to the tread end. The height of the protruding vertices is also defined relative to the length of the planes with the rhombus shape, providing precise guidelines for the aesthetic implementation of the design on pneumatic tires.
