Barum (company)
Continental Barum (formerly just Barum) is a manufacturer of rubber tyres based in the Czech Republic under the Barum brand. History The Barum tyre company was created as a subsidiary of Bata Shoes who made rubber soled boots in Czechoslovakia. The high cost of rail transport prompted the Bata company to operate its own fleet of vehicles to transport goods by road and in 1934, to counteract the high costs involved in importing tyres for its fleet of vehicles, the company decided to produce tyres for its own use. In 1948, the three major rubber-producing companies in Czechoslovakia were merged — Bata in Zlín, Rubena (ex-Kudrnáč) in Náchod and Mitas (Michelin + Veritas) in Hrádek nad Nisou. The Bata family lost control of the company, which was seized by the state and the Barum company was created. In 1966 the construction of a brand new manufacturing facility commenced in Otrokovice and the following year the first radial tyre was produced at the factory in Zli ...

Gislaved (tires)
Continental Gislaved (formerly just Gislaved) is a manufacturer of rubber tires. Until 1980, Gislaved produced tires for cars and trucks, today only for passenger cars (including SUVs). History Gislaved was a Swedish car tire manufacturer. Gislaved was formed in 1893 when the brothers Carl and Wilhelm Gislow started manufacturing rubber products in the municipality of Gislaved. The company's first products were balls and galoshes. In 1904, Gislow's factory began to produce bicycle tires, and in 1905 a car tire was released. The production of the first tire took a whole day, the work was personally supervised by General Director Wilhelm Gislow. The first Gislaved car tires were not durable. The carcass of the tires used several layers of textile fibers without rubber layers between them. Such tires quickly collapsed. In 1912, company management went to Stockholm to watch the Olympics. They took a few spare tires with them. The last one broke down on the way back, the car did not ev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bicycle Tire
A bicycle tire is a tire that fits on the Bicycle wheel, wheel of a bicycle or similar vehicle. These tires may also be used on tricycles, wheelchairs, and handcycles, frequently for Wheelchair racing, racing. Bicycle tires provide an important source of Bicycle suspension, suspension, generate the lateral forces necessary for Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics#Balance, balancing and Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics#Turning, turning, and generate the longitudinal forces necessary for Vehicle propulsion, propulsion and Bicycle brake systems, braking. Although the use of a pneumatic tire greatly reduces rolling resistance compared to the use of a rigid wheel or solid tire, the tires are still typically the second largest source, after Drag (physics), wind resistance (air drag), of power consumption on a level road. The modern detachable pneumatic bicycle tire contributed to the popularity and eventual dominance of the safety bicycle. Bicycle tires are also used on unicycles, tricyc ...

Motorcycle Tyre
A motorcycle tyre (spelt tire in American English) is the outer part of motorcycle wheel, attached to the rim (wheel), rim, providing traction (engineering), traction, resisting wear, absorbing surface irregularities, and allowing the motorcycle to turn via countersteering. The two tyres' contact patches are the motorcycle's connection to the ground, and so are fundamental to the motorcycle's suspension (motorcycle), suspension behaviour, and critically affect Motorcycle safety, safety, Brake, braking, fuel economy in automobiles, fuel economy, Roadway noise, noise, and rider comfort. History The history of motorcycle tyres is a clear progression of steady improvement in grip, allowing better acceleration, braking, and turning, along with improved comfort, safety, durability, and reliability. This progression has generally meant a steady increase in tyre width, so much so that Kevin Cameron (journalist), Kevin Cameron noted the assumption among riders that "bigger must be better in ...

Tachograph
A tachograph is a device fitted to a vehicle that automatically records its speed and distance, together with the driver's activity selected from a choice of modes. The drive mode is activated automatically when the vehicle is in motion, and modern tachograph heads usually default to the other work mode upon coming to rest. The rest and availability modes can be manually selected by the driver whilst stationary. A tachograph system comprises a sender unit mounted to the vehicle gearbox, the tachograph head and a recording medium. Tachograph heads are of either analogue or digital tachograph, digital types. All relevant vehicles manufactured in the European Union, EU since 1 May 2006 must be fitted with digital tachograph heads. The recording medium for analogue heads are wax coated paper discs, and for digital heads there are two recording mediums: internal memory (which can be read out with one of a variety of download devices into a so-called .ddd file) and digital driver ...

Tire
A tire (North American English) or tyre (Commonwealth English) is a ring-shaped component that surrounds a Rim (wheel), wheel's rim to transfer a vehicle's load from the axle through the wheel to the ground and to provide Traction (engineering), traction on the surface over which the wheel travels. Most tires, such as those for automobiles and bicycles, are pneumatically inflated structures, providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock as the tire rolls over rough features on the surface. Tires provide a footprint, called a contact patch, designed to match the vehicle's weight and the bearing on the surface that it rolls over by exerting a pressure that will avoid deforming the surface. The materials of modern pneumatic tires are synthetic rubber, natural rubber, fabric, and wire, along with carbon black and other chemical compounds. They consist of a tire tread, tread and a body. The tread provides Traction (engineering), traction while the body provides containment for a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
