Abstract:
A metal cord for reinforcing elastomeric articles, such as earth mover tires, comprises a plurality of metal wire-filament strands, including a center strand and multiple peripheral strands concentrically surrounding the center strand. Each of the center and peripheral strands includes multiple individual wire filaments of similar diameter having identical strand lay direction and length. Each strand has a hexagonally close-packed longitudinally uniform polygonal outline in which filaments are in concentric layers, with each individual filament being tangential to all adjacently surrounding filaments. The peripheral strands are tangential to the center strand and have a predetermined cord lay length and direction either the same as (Lang's Lay) or opposite to that of the center strand.
Abstract:
Le procédé permet la fabrication d'un câble multitorons (46) de structure 1xN comprenant une unique couche (48) de N torons (50) enroulés en hélice. Chaque toron (50) comprend une couche interne (52) de M fils internes (54) et une couche externe (56) de P fils externes (58). Le procédé comprend: - une étape d'assemblage individuel de chacun des N torons (50) au cours de laquelle, et dans l'ordre chronologique: - on enroule les M fils internes (54), - on enroule les P fils externes (58), et - on allonge les M fils internes et les P fils externes (58) de sorte que l'allongement structurel associé aux P fils externes (58) de chaque toron (50) est supérieur ou égal à 0,05%, - une étape d'assemblage collectif des N torons (50) au cours de laquelle on enroule les N torons (50) pour former le câble (46).
Abstract:
An elongation cord (10) adapted for the reinforcement of elastorner structures has a polymer core (12) and three to nine strands (14) twisted around the core with a cord twisting step in a cord twisting direction. At least one of the strands (14) has a first group (16) of filaments (17, 18) and a second group (20) of filaments (21, 22). The first group (16) of filaments (17, 18) is twisted with a first twisting step in a first twisting direction and the second group (20) of filaments (21, 22) is twisted with a second twisting step in a second twisting direction. The first twisting step is different from the second twisting step or the first twisting direction is different from the second twisting direction, or both. The first twisting direction is equal to the cord twisting direction and the first twisting step is equal to the cord twisting step.
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.

Abstract:
A synthetic rope for an elevator having improved resistance to compression and abrasion is provided and comprises a plurality of strands forming layers of the rope, each strand formed from a plurality of pre-twisted strands made from high modulus synthetic filaments. One or more of the strands or layers of strands may be impregnated with a lubricant, such as polytetrafiuoroethylene, to reduce the abrasion among the strands and substrands, and increase the service life of the rope. The exterior of the rope may be covered by a jacket that provides for traction with the drive sheave. An elevator system comprising the claimed rope is also provided.
Abstract:
A steel cord (10) for reinforcing rubber product comprises at least one core strand (12) and outer strands (14), the outer strands (14) are helically twisted around at least one core strand (12). Each of the strands (12, 14) comprises core steel filaments (16, 20) with the number of m and outer steel filaments with the number of n. The diameter of the core steel filaments in the core strand is Dcc, the diameter of the outer steel filaments in the core strand is Doc, the diameter of the core steel filament in the outer strand is Dco, and the diameter of the outer steel filament in the outer strand is Doo. The ratio of Dcc/Doc is not less than 1.04, the ratio of Dco/Doo is not less than 1.03, and the ratio of Doc/Dco is not less than 1. The core steel filaments and outer steel filaments are polygonally preformed before being twisted into strands. The steel cord is used for reinforcing off-the-road tire.
Abstract:
A steel cord (30) with a high elongation at break of at least 5% comprises n strands (20), each of said strands (20) has m filaments (10) twisted together, n ranges from 2 to 7. m ranges from 2 to 9. The strands and the filaments are twisted in a same direction. The lay length of the cord is Lc and the lay length of said strand is Ls. The ratio of Ls to Lc (Ls/Lc) ranges from 0.25 to 1. Lc ranges from 16 mm to 26 mm. The strands are helically preformed. The E-modulus of the cord is more than 150000 N/mm2. The helical preforming of the strands allows to obtain a high elongation at break and a high E-modulus despite its long lay length Lc.
Abstract:
A multiple-strand-structure cord comprising a plurality of sheath strands formed each by stranding a plurality of filaments and arranged around a core strand formed by stranding a plurality of filaments, wherein at least one of the core strand and each of sheath strands has a structure in which one or a plurality of layers of sheaths each consisting of a plurality of filaments are stranded around a core of one or a plurality of filaments, and filaments constituting the outermost sheath layer are larger in diameter than those constituting at least any one inner layer, whereby the in-advance rupture of part of filaments is prevented to enhance the endurance performance of the steel cord.
