Abstract:
In order that spaces, including a space in the central portion, inside a steel cord used as a reinforcement by being embedded in a tire or the like are filled with an uncured rubber, the uncured rubber is coated on plural steel core filaments which are then stranded to form a single layer steel cord, the core then being stranded with uncoated outer layer filaments. Consequently, it is possible to exhibit satisfactory corrosion resistance and satisfactory fatigue resistance as a steel cord, shorten a curing time in tire component assembling or the like to attain energy saving and prolong the life of a steel cord itself and the life of a tire or the like using the same as a reinforcement. Further, production can be performed at low cost.

Abstract:
A steel cord is composed of three to six steel filaments each having a filament diameter of from 0.25 to 0.45 mm, the three to six steel filaments including shaped filaments and twisted together, wherein the shaped filaments are, before twisted together, coiled to be set in a form of coil having a coil diameter of less than 5 mm and a coil pitch of more than 5 mm, the shaped filaments include at least two kinds of shaped filaments which are different in respect of the form of coil, the shaped filaments are twisted together while the coil diameter is reduced, the elongation of the cord at 50 N load is less than 0.2%, and the cord strength is in a range of from 2500 to 3500 N/sq.mm.
Abstract:
A tire cord having core filaments (10) performed into a helical configuration while maintaining the core filaments (10) in a parallel, side-by-side relationship. The core filaments (10) are not twisted or stranded together. High tensile strength sheath filaments (11) are also performed into a flattened helical configuration so that the sheath filaments (11) can be wrapped around the side-by-side core filaments such that the sheath filaments (11) do not put such tension on the core filaments (10) as to cause the core filaments (10) to bunch. The core filaments (10) are maintained in a flat side-by-side configuration so that no voids are formed and rubber can penetrate into the tire cord. The core filaments (10) may number from three to six and the sheath filaments (11) from one to seven. The cross-section of the tire cord is flattened and confined within an oval-shaped outer bound (21), the oval outer bound (21) being characterized by a major axis and a minor axis. It is desirable that the minor axis be no greater than 60% of the major axis to create the appropriate difference in the bending modulus of the tire cord in the horizontal versus the vertical direction.
Abstract:
Manufacturing narrow-diameter hollow metal objects utilizing metals difficult to work plastically has been problematic with conventional manufacturing methods; the narrower the diameter the higher the manufacturing cost has been, and under some circumstances manufacturing has been impossible. A plurality of metal wires is worked into a twisted wire cluster, adjoining companion metal wires are brought into contact in planar contacting portions, and the cluster is made unitary by supplying an adhesive agent along the outer side, producing a hollow metal object possessing a uniform inner diameter and a clean inner surface.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a metal cable usable for reinforcing a carcass reinforcement for a tire, such as a heavy-vehicle tire, to a composite fabric usable as a ply for such a carcass reinforcement, to a carcass reinforcement comprising this fabric and to a tire incorporating this carcass reinforcement. A metal cable according to the invention comprises a textile wrap, and is such that said wrap is formed of an aromatic thermotropic polyester or polyester amide. A composite fabric according to the invention is such that it comprises a rubber composition which is reinforced by said cables. A tire according to the invention has its carcass reinforcement comprising said composite fabric.
