Vehicle tires having a three-dimensional reinforcement structure
First Claim
1. A vehicle tire including a heavy duty rubber composite comprising a reinforcement structure composed of a network material made from a textile material of natural or synthetic fibers forming a filigree-like open-mesh network containing rods, knots and cavities, the open mesh network being shaped in three dimensions to include a plurality of cup-shaped deformations arranged in a regular pattern and extending in a direction generally perpendicular to a planar portion of the network material, and rubber material surrounding the reinforcement structure.

Abstract
A heavy duty rubber composite has a reinforcement structure composed of a network material made from a three-dimensionally shaped textile material forming an open-mesh three-dimensional network which penetrates the rubber material three-dimensionally in a skeleton-like manner. The network material is advantageously firmly incorporated into the rubber composite by appropriately linking the network material with the other reinforcements present in the rubber composite.
