Abstract:
A steel tire cord is composed of three to five strands twisted closely with minimum gaps between the strands. The steel tire cord is easy to handle in embedding the same in rubber to form a tire, free from corrosion and highly durable. A tire incorporates the steel tire cords which are bonded firmly to rubber in a belt layer. Tires thus fabricated are uniform in quality and highly durable. The steel tire cord is composed of three to five twisted strands arranged in a construction reducing the sectional area of spaces in the steel tire cord to a minimum. The core strands twist in helices around imaginary cylinders having axes aligned with the axis of the steel tire cord. The outside strands twist in helices around imaginary cylinders having axes aligned with the axis of the steel tire cord and having diameters greater than those of the imaginary cylinders around which the core strands twist. At least one of the strands among the component strands of the steel tire cord is crimped to form bends therein. The core strands and the outside strands are arranged closely in a triangular sectional construction with gaps between the crimped strand and the adjacent strands. In the tire incorporating the steel tire cords, the outer enveloping surface of the steel tire cord, and inner enveloping surfaces defining the spaces having a triangular cross section are covered closely with rubber, so that the steel tire cords and the rubber are bonded firmly.
Abstract:
A plurality of strands (7) of sectorial cross-section is stranded around a central core such as an optical fiber conductor. First, a rigid type stranding machine is used to impart a spiral twist to each strand (7). Then, the twisted strand (7) is heat-treated or otherwise treated to remove any stress caused by the twisting. These strands are then fed to a planetary type stranding machine which provides a planetary motion in which the strands perform an orbital rotation around the optical fiber core of an optical conductor or conductors without rotation about its own axis, whereby the strands are stranded together on the optical fiber core.

The helixes of the filaments of the strand are sloped in a first direction. A single filament is twisted with the strand in a direction opposite to said first direction. An apparatus and a method for manufacturing the metallic cable are also disclosed.
