Tread comprising ribs provided with incisions of varying inclination

A tread (1) for a tire with a preferred rolling direction, the tread having grooves (2) of substantially circumferential orientation which delimit ribs (30, 31, 32, 33, 35), at least one of which is provided close to each of its traverse edges with a plurality of incisions of width smaller than 1.5 mm. The incisions open onto the contact surface of the tread, are essentially parallel to one another, and having a mean inclination alpha different from zero relative to the direction perpendicular to the rolling surface (S) of the tread. The tread is characterized in that, when viewed in a section plane perpendicular to the rotational axis of the tire, each incision in a given rib, relative to a perpendicular to the contact surface of the rib at the point where the incision intersects the surface, has an inclination which varies through the thickness of the tread, each incision being inclined at an angle beta1 relative to said perpendicular at its point of intersection with the rolling surface when new, the angle beta1 being larger than the angle alpha, and at an angle beta2 at the point of the incision furthest inside the tread, the angle beta2 being smaller than the angle alpha. The point of the incision furthest inside the tread being located, relative to said perpendicular, such that it is ahead of the point of the incision located on the contact surface of the rib.

Polyethylene fiber and a non-woven fabric using the same

A polyethylene fiber having a high apparent Young's modulus, high breaking tensile strength and low breaking elongation. The fiber also exhibits residual percentage crimp suitable enough for carding, so that the cardability, which has been conventionally difficult to improve, can be remarkably increased. Further, the fiber can be formed into a non-woven fabric having a soft touch feeling such that the fabric is suitable for medical use as well as hygienic use. In addition, the polyethylene fiber of this invention can be mixed with other fibers such as cellulose fiber to obtain a high absorbent fiber network material.

An apparatus for internally framing a vinyl gate suitable for use with vinyl fencing provides completely hidden structures formed of sheet metal and assembled for greater strength and rigidity. Beams may be formed as channels from sheet metal, which may be placed together, with open edges of the channel juxtaposed and positioned within each other, in order to provide fully closed perimeters for beams. Various types of corner ties are provided to support loads and squareness required between vertical and horizontal members of the frame. In various embodiments, vinyl sleeves may be placed over various beams before or after the beams have been fully assembled, as appropriate, possible, or required. In certain embodiments, the entire systems of gate framing may be shipped in a long format appearing primarily as linearly-extending, channel-shaped stock. Likewise sheathing can ship as long stock. All fastening may be done after assembly, in order to finalize squareness and position prior to permanent application of fasteners.
