Abstract:
A strand (20) for a cable bolt (14) comprises a plurality of metallic elongated members (22, 24) twisted together. At least one of the elongated members has a corrosion resistant coating (54) and surface deformation, so as to improve the bodig efficiency and the anchorage of the strand.
Abstract:
A bicycle control cable is provided with a central wire and at least one resin string. The at least one string made of resin is spirally wound onto the radially outermost surface in a direction intersecting with a center longitudinal axis of the central wire with a pitch less than or equal to 1 millimeter. The at least one resin string defines a spiral gap between adjacent windings of the at least one resin string. The at least one resin string defines an outer sliding surface for reducing a sliding resistance of the central wire. The central wire and the at least one resin string define an inner wire configured to slidably move in an axial direction with respect to the center longitudinal axis of the central wire within an outer case to operate a bicycle component.

Abstract:
A steel rope safety system includes at least one steel rope having at least one strand, and the at least one rope or at least one strand is compacted. Further, a method is provided for making a steel rope safety system comprising the step of providing at least two wires, the step of stranding the wires thereby forming a strand for a rope and the step of compacting the strand. The steel rope safety system includes a guardrail system having vertical poles and horizontal compacted ropes which are held in place by hooks. The steel rope safety system may include non-round shaped, such as trapezoidal shaped compacted wires. There is likewise provided the use of compacted steel ropes as impact reducing material.

Abstract:
A hybrid layered cable for use in tire reinforcement includes a non-metallic internal layer and an unsaturated external layer including 3-12 strands. Each strand is at least partly metallic and is helically wound around the internal layer. Each strand includes at least 3 filaments wound helically together. The cable has a relative elongation at break, measured in tension in accordance with the standard ISO 6892 of 1984, which is higher than 7%.
Abstract:
A first aspect of the present invention relates to a filament (11; 12), especially for reinforcing rubber articles. Said filament (11; 12) features a contact surface (14) and an outer surface (13). In a second aspect, the invention relates to a steel cord (10) comprising two of said filaments (11, 12), the contact surfaces (14) are arranged adjacent to each other. The outer surfaces (13) are configured arcuate shaped and provide a smooth outer contour (15) of the steel cord (10). Due to said construction the largest dimension (d) of the steel cord (10) and the thickness of a rubber coating (18) may be considerably reduced. Additionally the invention relates to a method of producing a steel cord (10) and to a tyre (20) comprising a carcass ply (22) and/or at least one belt (25; 26) including said steel cords (10).
Abstract:
A steel cord (10) adapted for the reinforcement of elastomers comprises: a core steel filament (12) with a core steel filament diameter dc and coated with a polymer (14); six intermediate steel filaments (16) with an intermediate steel filament diameter di smaller than or equal to the core steel filament diameter dc; these intermediate steel filaments (16) are twisted around the core steel filament (12); ten or eleven outer steel filaments (18) with an outer steel filament diameter do smaller than or equal to the intermediate steel filament diameter dl; these outer steel filaments (18) are twisted around the intermediate steel filaments (16), the outer steel filaments (18) are preformed in order to allow rubber penetration inside the core (10). The core steel filament (12), the intermediate steel filaments (16) and the outer steel filaments (18) all have a tensile strength at least 2600 MPa. The cord (10) has an outer diameter D according to following formula: D≦dc+2×di+2×do+0.1 wherein all diameters are expressed in millimeter (mm).
Abstract:
A reinforcing structure designed for handling compression stress states when the structure is molded into a composite. The structure, specifically a wrapped cord with metallic filaments contained therein, is suitable for both compression and tension load forces. The reinforcing structure has a core comprising a plurality of essentially straight, nested filaments arranged in parallel, the filaments forming a line of contact with adjacent filaments that extends along the length of the filaments. Wrapped about the core is at least one helically wound wire.
