Abstract:
A rubber reinforcing steel cord of a bundle-twisted+layer-twisted structure obtained by arranging 9 steel filaments around 3 steel filaments each being two-dimensionally wave-like shaped in the lengthwise direction, intertwining all of these steel filaments in one operation to form a bundle-twisted cord, and further arranging 14 steel filaments around the bundle-twisted cord followed by intertwining. Also, a heavy duty pneumatic radial tire using the rubber reinforcing steel cord as the cord of the carcass layer thereof.
Abstract:
A steel cord is formed by compactly twisting steel filaments together, the steel filaments including a plurality of zigzag filaments and optionally a nonzigzag filament, the zigzag filament being zigzaged two-dimensionally and made up of straight segments each extending between the zigzag peak points, the nonzigzag filament being straight. In case the cord is composed of only the zigzag filaments, the zigzag filaments include at least two kinds of zigzag filaments having different zigzag pitch lengths. In case the cord is composed of both the zigzag filaments and nonzigzag filaments, some of the zigzag and nonzigzag filaments are first loosely twisted together into a bunch, and then a plurality of bunches are twisted together into the cord. In any case, the zigzag pitch length and zigzag wave height of each zigzag filament are substantially constant along the length thereof. A Tire comprises a reinforcing layer such as a tread reinforcing belt layer, carcass, bead reinforcing layer and the like made of the above-mentioned steel cords.
Abstract:
A steel cord for radial tires having a “2+5” construction structured by twisting a core and a strand in such a fashion that they have the same twist pitch length and the same twist direction, so that the number of processing steps for the twisting process is reduced from two to one, thereby reducing the manufacturing costs while achieving an improvement in productivity.
Abstract:
A reinforcement ply for an elastomeric article comprises a plurality of parallel extensible reinforcing members laid at a substantially constant end count perpendicular to their longitudinal direction, the ply having different extensibilities in the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing members in different parts of the ply. The reinforcing members are preferably made such that they each have at least one filament which is displaced perpendicularly from the longitudinal centerline of the reinforcing member in one part of the reinforcing member compared to another part. A tire may include the reinforcement ply as a hoop or band in the ground contacting tread region.
Abstract:
A steel cord effective for reinforcing a super-large off-road tire wherein strands made by simultaneously twisting together 3 to 6 steel wires in the same twisting direction with the same pitch length are used and the steel cord is made by twisting together 3 to 6 such strands in the same direction as the twisting direction of the strands and with the same pitch length. Each of the steel wires constituting the strands continuously has a small wavy pattern of a pitch length smaller than the lay length of the strands and therefore each of the strands has a compound pattern comprising a wavy pattern formed by the twisting and said small wavy pattern and in a gap is formed between steel wires each of the strands by the small wavy pattern. The lay length P.sub.1 of the steel cord is 8 to 15 times the steel cord diameter D and the elongation on breakage by tension of the steel cord is over 5%.
Abstract:
A high elongation compact helical steel cord with a high degree of elongation at break of not less than 5% has a (1.times.n) structure comprising three or more base wires which are helically preformed at a predetermined pitch and which are twisted in the same direction and at the same pitch so that the ratio P/D of the cord diameter D to the twisting pitch P is in the range of 8-15 with the base wire preforming pitch being shorter than the cord twisting pitch. The finished cord has a helical composite structure with its elongation under a load of 35 kgf/mm.sup.2 being 0.71%-1.00% and that under a load of 70 kgf/mm.sup.2 being 1.18%-1.57%. A radial tire is reinforced with the steel cord preferably as a steel belt cord. An apparatus for making the steel cord is provided with revolving preformers on the wire introducing portion of a bunching machine such that the bunching machine is rotated in a direction reverse to the rotational direction of the revolving preformers.

Abstract:
The cable includes a substantially metallic central core (3) and outer strands (2) formed from at least one layer of metal wires (21), particularly steel wires, which are stranded over a core element (22) made from synthetic material, preferably a thermoplastic material, this being with a pitch similar to that of the strands (5,6) with which the core (3) is formed, it being possible for the latter to be entirely metallic or hybrid. These cables are intended particularly for use as a lifting cable, particularly elevator cables, or other multicable installations with transmission by means of adherence.
Abstract:
A steel cord comprises steel filaments twisted around each other in a first direction about at least one steel core filament having a wave form. The twisted filaments are individually subjected to a rotation about their own axes. This steel cord is formed by deforming the core filament into a planar wave form and twisting the core filament in a second direction to a predetermined degree. The core filaments together with the other filaments are twisted in the first direction so that the twisted filaments are individually subjected to a rotation around their own axes in the first direction.
Abstract:
Steel cables are utilized for reinforcing a wide variety of rubber articles. For instance, pneumatic tires are normally reinforced with steel tire cords. It is important for such reinforcing cables to exhibit good fatigue and corrosion resistance. It has been unexpectedly found that the fatigue and corrosion resistance of such cables can be improved by incorporating syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene into the interstices between the steel filaments in such cables. This invention more specifically relates to a cable for reinforcing rubber articles having improved fatigue and corrosion resistance which is comprised of a plurality of steel filaments and syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene, wherein the syndiotactic-1,2-polybutadiene is dispersed within interstices between said steel filaments.
