Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a rubber-steel cord composite material which prevents deterioration in durability caused by a coating amount of unvulcanized rubber, degradation in fatigue resistance and workability and stably obtains excellent durability and fatigue resistance. SOLUTION: In producing a rubber-steel cord composite material of two-layer twisting structure by coating the circumferences of core made by twisting one or a plurality of filaments with unvulcanized rubber, twisting a plurality of filaments to become a sheath while forming gaps between the filaments, in the cross-section of the cord, when the area of region enclosed by the circumscribed circle of the core and the contour lines of the core is A and the cross-section area of the coating layer of the unvulcanized rubber coating the core is B, the unvulcanized rubber is coated under conditions that the areas A and B satisfy the following formula: A≤B≤5A.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a metal cord for reinforcing a rubber article, which improves penetration of a rubber material to the inside of a cord while controlling reduction in compressive rigidity of a cord and a rubber article. SOLUTION: The metal cord 7 for reinforcing a rubber article comprises a core filament 9 and five outer sheath filaments 10 helically twisted on the core filament 9 so as to enclose the core filament 9. The filament diameters of the core filament 9 and the outer sheath filaments 10 are substantially the same diameter. Proper spaces are formed between the outer filaments 10. The core filament 9 is formed with two-dimensional corrugated parts 12 having a pitch smaller than the twisting pitch of the outer sheath filaments 10. Each of the outer sheath filaments 10 is not formed with such small corrugated parts 12. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pneumatic radial tire equipped with a good maneuvering stability, durability, and cost performance required of a high performance radial tire designed for application to a high performance passenger car. SOLUTION: The pneumatic radial tire includes a carcass 1 as a skeleton which stretches toroidally between a pair of bead parts 11 and is structured so that at least one belt layer 2 formed by lining with rubber the steel cords consisting of a plurality of steel element wires is laid on the outside in radial direction of the crown part of the carcass. The bending rigidity Ec of the steel cords in the condition embedded in the belt layer ranges between 49 and 196 Pa, being 1.0-1.27 times as large as the cord bending rigidity Er in the condition of cords solely not embedded in the belt layer.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To disperse the appearance of a scraped off part of plating to the surface of a cord and maintain the process-passing property of a cord material well in the production processes of a tire. SOLUTION: This wrapping-less steel cord 1 has a polygonal cross section of the cord obtained by twisting all of the filaments 11, 13, 15 in a same direction with an almost same pitch. The line diameter of the filament is 0.15-0.30 mm. The diameter of the core filament is equal to or thicker than that of the sheath filaments, and at least the filament 15 constituting the outermost layer sheath 14 has a twist in filament axis direction. Also, the profile-forming rate of the filaments 15a constituting the corner part of the outermost layer sheath 14 is 65-80 % and the profile-forming rate of the filaments 15b forming other than the corner part is 90-100 %.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pneumatic radial tire excellent in durability for keeping a tire manufacturing process stable and reducing fretting abrasion due to lapping. SOLUTION: In a steel cord 2, nine to thirty pieces of steel filaments are simultaneously bundled, and all the filaments 21, 22 are twisted in the same direction at the same pitch in one time of a wire stranding process to form a multilayer structure, and a lapping wire W2 is wound on the steel cord 2 in the same direction as a cord twisting direction. An angle formed by the lapping wire W2 with respect to the filament 22 in the outermost layer is 5 to 15°. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
