Abstract:
Method of manufacturing a metal cable having two layers (Ci, Ce) of construction M+N, comprising an inner layer (Ci) having M wires of diameter d1 wound together in a helix at a pitch p1, M varying from 2 to 4, and an outer layer (Ce) of N wires of diameter d2, wound together in a helix at a pitch p2 around the inner layer (Ci), the method comprising the following steps performed in line: a step of assembling the M core wires by twisting to form the inner layer (Ci) at a point of assembling; downstream of the point of assembling of the M core wires, a step of sheathing the inner layer (Ci) with a diene rubber composition called “filling rubber”, in the raw state; a step of assembling the N wires of the outer layer (Ce) by twisting around the inner layer (Ci) thus sheathed; and a step of twist balancing. Also disclosed is a device for implementing such a method.
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire has a bead core (12) formed by laminating three or more sheath layers (32) of spirally twisted sheath filaments (33) around a thick core wire (31) and making reverse the twisting direction of the sheath filaments in these sheath layers every sheath layer, in which the number of twisting pitches in the sheath filament (33b) of a second sheath layer (32b) viewed from the outermost side is made smaller than that in a sheath filament (33c,33d) of a sheath layer (32c,32d) located inward from the second sheath layer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a spiral strand formed of a plurality of layers, each layer being formed of a plurality of individual wires. At least one inner layer is adapted to have a greater resistance to radial forces than other layers, such that the inner layer is better able to resist the higher radial forces that are generated within the inner layers of relatively larger spiral strands, for example strands that have seven or more layers provided radially outwardly of the adapted inner layer. The inner layer may be adapted by including shaped wires that provide contact surfaces between layers that have a greater surface area.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a hybrid rope comprising a core element, a first and a second metallic closed layer surrounding said core element. The core element includes a bundle or construction of synthetic yarns. The first metallic closed layer includes a plurality of first wirelike members helically twisted together with the core element in a first direction. The second metallic closed layer includes a plurality of second wirelike members helically twisted together with said core element and said first metallic closed layer in a second direction. The cross-sectional area of the core element is larger than the total cross-sectional area of the first and second metallic closed layers.
