Abstract
A method for processing tires and providing a product made form the tire material, by cutting each tire by a sequence of cuts to form two side walls and several tire rings of the running tread, separating the two side walls from the tire rings of running tread, combining the tire rings together to form the product by looping a first tire rings directly to a second tire rings, the second tire rings is looped directly to the third tire rings until the n−1 tire rings is looped to the last tire rings to form an interwoven mesh product, which may be formed to provide a flat product or a hollow product.
Claims11
A method for processing tires and providing a product composed of tire material, comprising the steps of
- dismembering each tire by a sequence of cuts to form two side walls and a plurality of tire rings of running tread,
- separating the two side walls from the plurality of tire rings of running tread,
- combining the plurality of tire rings together to form the product by looping a first of the plurality of tire rings directly to a second of the plurality of tire rings, the second of the plurality of tire rings is looped directly to the third of the plurality of tire rings until the n−1 of the plurality of tire rings is looped to the n-th of the plurality of tire rings to form an interwoven mesh product.
An interwoven mesh product made of tire material comprising
- a plurality of tire rings cut from a running tread of a tire,
- wherein each of the plurality of tire rings are directly interwoven by looping a first of the plurality of tire rings directly to a second of the plurality of tire rings, the second of the plurality of tire rings is looped directly to the third of the plurality of tire rings until the n−1 of the plurality of tire rings is looped to the n-th of the plurality of tire rings to form the interwoven mesh product.
A method of interweaving a mesh product made of tire material comprising the steps of
- providing a plurality of tire rings cut from the running thread of the tire;
- flattening a first of the plurality of the tire rings forming two substantially equal openings on each end;
- looping directly through each opening on each end a second of the plurality of tire rings such that the second of the plurality of tire rings forms two substantially equal openings on each side.
