Abstract:
One aspect of this invention concerns a multi-strand steel wire rope (28, 32, 36, 46, 50) comprising multiple strands (3, 10, 38) laid up helically on a core (30, 34,), characterised in that at least some of the strands are deep strands (10, 38), i.e. strands with a heightwidth ratio greater than unity. Another aspect of the invention concerns the deep strand (10, 38) itself.
Abstract:
An annular metal cord includes an annular core portion formed in an annular shape, and an outer layer portion spirally wound around the annular core portion while running over an annular circumference thereof plural times and covering an outer peripheral surface of the annular core portion. Each of the annular core portion and the outer layer portion are formed by a strand material which is formed by intertwisting a plurality of metal filaments. The annular core portion and the outer layer portion are formed by a continuous strand material.
Abstract:
A flexible traction organ that can be wound and unwound, in particular for passenger and/or goods lifts, said organ comprising at least one stranded cable consisting of a tensile resistant material. The core strand of each stranded cable is surrounded by a flexible thermoplastic plastic layer. A production line for embedding several stranded cables in a flexible thermoplastic layer comprises a respective reel for unwinding the stranded cable, a device for accurately aligning the stranded cable, a heating element for pre-heating the stranded cable, at least one extruder for co-extruding the stranded cable in a flexible plastic sheathing, a cooling vat, a reel storage unit, a cutting unit and a reserve reel. The extruder, a wire guide and at least one die can be adjusted individually, conjointly and in relation to one another on a plane (P) that runs at an angle to the cable plane (E). The unwound stranded cables are degreased and/or pre-treated to improve the adhesion of the plastic sheathing, and pre-heated to a temperature of approximately ±20° C. in relation to the melting temperature of the flexible, thermoplastic plastic that surrounds the core strand and are sheathed with liquefied plastic in the extruder.
Abstract:
A pneumatic tire comprises a cord-reinforced layer such as carcass, belt, bead reinforcing layer which is made of metallic cords, each metallic cord is made up of six to twelve metallic filaments whose diameter is in a range of from 0.15 to 0.45 mm, the metallic filaments include waved filaments and unwaved filaments, each waved filament is two-dimensionally waved at a wave pitch and wave height before twisted, the wave pitch is in a range of from 5.0 to 35.0 times the diameter of the filament, and the wave height is in a range of from 0.2 to 4.0 times the diameter of the filament, and the metallic filaments are twisted together into the cord at a twist pitch of from 10 to 40 mm so that the two-dimensionally waved filaments are each subjected to a certain rotation around its axial.
Abstract:
A large diameter rope having improved fatigue life on a sheave, pulley, or drum is disclosed. This rope includes a blend of HMPE filaments and liquid crystal polymer filaments selected from the group of lyotropic polymer filaments and thermotropic polymer filaments. The rope may be constructed as a braided rope, a wire-lay rope, or a parallel core rope.
Abstract:
The sink line comprises a plurality of weights attached to a longitudinal supporting structure, preferably in a spaced a part relationship, the weights comprising a core member of a first material entirely enclosed in a coating of a second material, the weights having an outer surface in securing engagement with the supporting structure.

Abstract:
Cable as suspension means for lifts. A synthetic fiber cable is connected with an elevator car or load-receiving means, with a sheathing, surrounding an outermost cable strand layer, consisting of synthetic material, preferably polyurethane, with the cable strands being twisted or laid up of individual aramide fibers, wherein each individual strand is treated with an impregnating medium for the protection of the fibers and a friction-reducing intermediate sheathing is interposed between the outermost strand layer and the inner strand layer, and in order to obtain an almost circularly shaped strand layer and increase the degree of filling of the strands, any gaps therein are augmented by filler strands.
Abstract:
The twistless and/or weakly twisted wire rope or cable with the many strand many layer structure comprises a core rope and a cover layer stranded on the core rope in an opposite stranding direction. The core rope is made exclusively from substantially circular strands and the cover layer is made exclusively from only one layer of substantially flat strands.
Abstract:
A metal cord having a core comprising one or more filaments for the reinforcement of rubber articles comprising a plurality of bundles of grouped filaments wherein the direction of lay of the filaments in the bundles is the same as the direction of lay of the bundles in the cord, each of the filaments having been subjected to plastic torsional deformation, and the average length of lay of each bundle in the cord being substantially equal to the average length of lay of each filament in the bundles, and wherein at any cross-section of the cord the filament or filaments which comprise the core of the cord differ along the length of the cord and belong to the same or different bundles.
