Abstract:
A steel cord for reinforcing a rubber product includes a core consisting of one steel filament and a sheath consisting of a plurality of steel filaments wound around the core. The steel filament of the core alternately having straight portions, whose axes of the straight portions are disposed on one line, and protrusions formed by bending. The peak of each protrusion is disposed outside of the sheath. The steel cord for reinforcing a rubber product is used in a pneumatic tire. The pneumatic tire includes a carcass having a crown portion and having a toroidal shape, a pair of beads over which the toroidal shape extends, a belt layer or belt layers for reinforcing the crown portion of the carcass, and rubber surrounding the carcass, the pair of bead, and the belt layer(s). The steel cord is used in the carcass and/or the belt layer(s).
Abstract:
A pneumatic radial tire includes a belt layer, comprised of steel cords having a lateral flat cross-section, arranged around an outer periphery of a tread portion of a carcass layer so that the diameter direction of the steel cords is made to follow the planar direction of the belt layer, the steel cord is made a flat 1.times.6 twist structure comprised of filaments of a filament diameter d of 0.20 to 0.40 mm, the long diameter D.sub.L and twist pitch P of the steel cord taken out from the tire are made with respect to the filament diameter d as follows:3.67 d-0.04.ltoreq.D.sub.L .ltoreq.3.67 d+0.1630d.ltoreq.P.ltoreq.45dand the elongation of the steel cord caused when increasing a load from 0.25 kg to 5.0 kg is made 0.25% or less.
Abstract:
A steel cord adapted for the reinforcement of an elastomer comprises steel filaments of a pearlitic structure. The steel cord has a plastic and elastic elongation at break of x % and a plastic and elastic elongation capability in the vulcanized elastomer of y %, the values x and y fulfilling following equation: y-0.50.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.y+0.50, which means that the total elongation at break does not fall down considerably after embedding the steel cord into an elastomer.

Abstract:
A steel cord for the reinforcement of rubber articles exhibits largely different bending rigidities in two crossing directions at section of the cord and comprises a bundle of plural strands each being obtained by twisting 3 or more steel filaments and a wrapping filament helically wound around the bundle. The steel filaments have a twisting pitch in the range of 3.0 to 30.0 mm. A single wrapping filament is helically wound around the bundle at a twisting pitch of 2.0-15 mm. Various cord structures may be used, for example, 1.times.3, 1.times.5, 2+6 and 3.times.4.

Abstract:
A steel cord for reinforcing automobile tires is composed by intertwisting at least one material wire having small spiral-like curls and 1 to 5 straight material wires. This restricts the ratio of fracture elongation of the two kinds of material wires as well as the elongation percent of the cord at 5 kg loading and improves the stability of twist, the fatigue resistance, the penetrability of a rubber compound and the handling workability.
Abstract:
A metal cord for reinforcing a rubber article is made by twisting three or more metal filaments. At least one or at most the total number minus two of the metal filaments have a larger shaping ratio in the diametrical direction of the cord than the other metal filaments. At least one of the metal filaments having a larger shaping ratio is kept out of contact at portions in the longitudinal direction with a metal filament or filaments arranged in juxtaposition at one side or both sides thereof. At least two adjacent ones of the metal filaments having a smaller shaping ratio are in contact with each other.
Abstract:
A fiber-reinforced rubber article has a rubber body portion with a fiber reinforcement embedded therein. The fiber reinforcement includes a plurality of tubular braided cords braided by yarns. Each of the tubular braided cords is braided by more than three yarns at a braid angle in a range between 10.degree. and 35.degree., wherein said braid angle is an angle between a yarn of the tubular braided cord and the axial line of the tubular braided cord. Each tubular braided cord also has a fistulous center hole defined by the tubular braided cord.
Abstract:
One or more plies of reinforced elastomer, particularly two plies (10),(12) of rubber reinforced with twisted filament metallic cords (14) and more particularly a tire belt made up of the two plies (10),(12) is disclosed having cords (14) of 2.times.0.30 HT construction with opposed 23.degree. angles to the direction of reinforcement of the belt.
Abstract:
A pneumatic radial tire is disclosed, including an annular tread having a belt incorporated therein, a pair of sidewalls which extend radially inward from both ends of the annular tread and a bead portion, provided at the inner end of each sidewall, wherein the belt includes a belt ply having a plurality of belt cords in parallel arrangement, the belt cords being formed by twisting a plurality of steel filaments or two or more strands each consisting of a plurality of steel. filaments, and at least one of said steel filaments being replaced by a filament of a shape-memory alloy which, before it is twisted either as a belt cord or as a strand which forms a belt cord, has been heat set at a predetermined heat set temperature whereby the filament has a linear shape at a temperature below the heat set temperature and has a wavy shape at a temperature at or above the heat set temperature.
