Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steel cord capable of developing a satisfactory durability by avoiding the precedent breakage in a part of filaments in the cord having a multitwisted structure to suppress the lowering of the cord tenacity, and a tire having an excellent durability by using such a cord.SOLUTION: The steel cord having a multitwisted structure having a plurality of sheath strands each formed by twisting plural filaments around a core strand formed by twisting plural filaments is provided. At least one of the core strand and the sheath strands has a construction of twisting one or more sheath layers each made of plural filaments around a core made of one or plural filaments, and a diameter of a filament constituting an outermost sheath layer is made larger than that of a filament constituting at least one layer located inside thereof, whereby precedent breakage in a part of the filaments is avoided to suppress the lowering of the tenacity of the steel cord and improve the durability of the steel cord.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steel cord for a rubber crawler, having strength to various forces applied to a steel cord during traveling and excellent durability. SOLUTION: In the steel cord 10 for a rubber crawler, which has a plurality of strands formed by twisting a plurality of filaments 14 and in which a core strand 12-1 is arranged at the central position, a plurality of sheath strands 12-2 to 12-7 are arranged at the outside of the core strand and the sheath strands 12-2 to 12-7 are wound on the core strand 12-1, "the twisting direction of the outermost layer filaments 14(C) of the core strand", "the twisting direction of the outermost layer filaments 14(S) of the sheath strands" and "the winding direction of the sheath strands on the core strand" are all the same directions.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article; and to provide a pneumatic radial tire having improved durability by using the steel cord for reinforcing the rubber article as a reinforcing material. SOLUTION: The steel cord for reinforcing the rubber article has a 1+6 double twisted structure constituted of one core strand having two- or three-ply layered twist structure, and six sheath strands surrounding the core strand and having two- or three-ply layered twist structures. The whole layered twist directions in the core strand 1 and the twist direction of the sheath strand 4 are the same direction, and the layered twist directions in the sheath strands 4 are the combination of different directions.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article, by preventing the preceding breakage of filaments and improving the strength at break of the steel cord as a whole, and to provide a pneumatic tire using the same. SOLUTION: This double-twisted structure steel cord is provided by twisting a core filament 11 with at least one layer sheath filaments 21 as a layer-twisted structure to form one strand, further twisting in a plurality of strands as the layer-twisted structure consisting of a core strand 1 and at least one layer of sheath strands 2 to make one steel cord. The tensile strength of the filament for forming the strand is made as "the tensile strength of the filament in a layer close to the center of the strand"≥"the tensile strength of the filament in a layer far from the center of the filament", and the mean tensile strength of the strand for forming the steel cord is made as "the mean tensile strength of the layer close to the center of the steel cord"
