The disclosure pertains to the tyre industry and relates more specifically to a system of lining levels for protecting tyres that prevents pointed objects from puncturing the air chamber, or in tubeless tyres prevents pointed objects from emptying the air from the tyre, being applicable to practically all types of tyre. According to the disclosure, when the puncturing object comes into contact with the tread, it is bent and deformed, preventing it from coming into contact with the air chamber or with the air in the case of tubeless tyres. The puncturing object penetrates the rubber of the tyre, but when it reaches the lining, instead of puncturing it or deforming it, the object is bent due to a hardness ratio between the lining and the tread combined with the movement of the wheel.
1- SHIELD, characterized by being an independent part, added to the tire and positioned juxtaposed and internally to the tire rubber (11), with shape of the tire's internal surface with a cutout (2A), which can have a flat or round tire tread, with thickness of 0.3 mm to 500 mm with Shore D hardness between 40D to 100D and with a sidewall reinforcement (LA) with thickness increase between 1% to 300%;
2- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 1, and characterized by being able to optionally be a part of the tire, produced in thermoset polymer, vulcanized together with the tire which can have the cutout (2A), (2PA), (2CH), (2PE);
3- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 1, and characterized by being able to optionally contain 0.01% to 30% of graphene, compatibilizing agents, 1% to 40% of fiberglass, carbon or kevlar;
4- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 1, and characterized by being able to comprise in an open model, with cutout (2A) and (2PA) a bevel (1AB), female cradle (2AB) where the male (6AB) is going to settle, provided with an end (7AB) that is juxtaposed to a stop (3AB) that limits the final edge of (6AB) so that it does not exceed the limit in (1AB), an extra shield (4AB) and an ascending curve (5AB);
5- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 4, and characterized by optionally not presenting the structure (6AB) or (5AB) and comprising a single cutout, in a perpendicular, diagonal (wedged) or curved shaped, separating the ends without the elements of (1AB) to (7AB);
6- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 4, and characterized by being able to comprise movement limiting guides on the upper face (2AB) or on the upper face (RE);
7- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 1, and characterized by the region (2AB), (3AB), (4AB), (5AB), (6AB), (7AB) of rubberized material alternatively being isolated and protected, in cases of open shields;
8- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 1, and characterized by being able to comprise a mounting piece (2VU), which is a vulcanizable layer to the tire (11), and that creates a tunnel (TU) separating the region that holds air, or the inner tube, from a new anti-punctures shielded layer;
9- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 1, and characterized by being able to comprise the element (222) that works as a definitive deformation stop in case of vehicle overweight or of strong impact applied with a distance (222D), having that said element (222) can have the dimension of 30% to 100% of the tire width, covering a part of or the entire tire tread;
10- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 1, and characterized by the function of spacer when having hardness Shore 40A and 40D using the industrialization process in thermoplastic polymers, polymeric blends, thermoset polymers in any thickness;
11- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 1, and characterized by being able to have a subdivision of sections of 2, 4, 6 or more equal parts or be provided with small internal high reliefs (BA).
12- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 1, and characterized by being able to comprise a layer (SH) and shield (2U) with inverted edges, with partition, cutout or solid overlapping the tire's entire rubber region (11) and shield (2U);
13- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 1, and characterized by being provided with parts (2SL) (2SR) attached to the sides or optionally be replaced by assembly reinforcement (2IN) mounted in conjunction with the sidewall reinforcement parts (2SL) (2SR);
14- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 1, and characterized by being able to comprise a fold (WW) that simulates an inner tube;
15- SHIELD, in accordance with claim 1, and characterized by being able to have a cylinder shape, tubular, with the width of the plane tread tire, applicable with (2P) or (2PA).
