Each strand of the inner cord layer and the outer cord layer includes an inner strand layer and an outer strand layer. The inner strand layer is formed of two inner wires. The outer strand layer is formed of N outer wires, which are wound in a helix around the inner strand layer.
Abstract:
A steel cord (10) adapted for the reinforcement of rubber products, the steel cord (10) comprises a core (12) and three or more outer strands (14) twisted around the core (12) in a cord twisting direction. The outer strands (14) comprise outer filaments (16) twisted in a strand twisting direction which is the same as the cord twisting direction. The outer strands (14) have a wavy form which makes spaces between the core (12) and the outer strands. The steel cord (10) has improvements on elongation at break and impact resistance capacity.
Abstract:
A tire for a vehicle wheel includes at least one metallic reinforcing cord comprising a single strand of elementary filaments preformed by sinusoidal waving and wound together. The number of filaments is greater than or equal to 3 and less than or equal to 8. A diameter of each filament is greater than or equal to 0.12 mm and less than or equal to 0.35 mm. A linear density of the at least one reinforcing cord is greater than or equal to 0.18 g/m and less than or equal to 4.0 g/m. A value of a breaking-stress integral of the at least one reinforcing cord is greater than or equal to 5,000 J/m3. In a two-wheeled vehicle, the at least one reinforcing cord in a tire for front-mounting may be distributed with a variable density while, in a tire for rear-mounting, the density may be constant.

Abstract:
The present invention concerns hybrid layered cables some of which can be used to reinforce at least one crown protection ply of tyres for heavy vehicles or earthmovers, and others to reinforce the beads of tyres for light motorised vehicles such as motorcycles. The invention also concerns a composite fabric usable as a crown protection ply of such heavy vehicles or earthmovers, and a bead wire designed to reinforce the said beads and the aforesaid tyres. A hybrid layered cable (C) according to the invention comprises a non-metallic internal layer (Ci) and an unsaturated external layer (Ce) comprising strands (T) each of which is at least in part metallic and which are wound in helix around the said internal layer, the said cable having a relative elongation at break At, measured in tension in accordance with the standard ISO 6892 of 1984, which is higher than 7%. According to another aspect of the invention, the said internal layer is composed of at least one material having a relative elongation at break Ar at 20° C. in excess of 6%.
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 polytetrafluoroethylene, 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 tension member for an elevator system has an aspect ratio of greater than one, where aspect ratio is defined as the ratio of tension member width w to thickness t (w/t). The increase in aspect ratio results in a reduction in the maximum rope pressure and an increased flexibility as compared to conventional elevator ropes. As a result, smaller sheaves may be used with this type of tension member. In a particular embodiment, the tension member includes a plurality of individual load carrying cords encased within a common layer of coating. The coating layer separates the individual cords and defines an engagement surface for engaging a traction sheave. The individual cords are constructed of several strands and each strand is separated from direct contact with each other strand by polymeric material. While aspect ratios of greater than one are preferred, tension members of other ratios including round also benefit from the prevention of direct contact.

Abstract:
A high-elongation composite cord used for reinforcing a rubber composite such as a wheel tire and a conveyor belt. It is made by twisting a plurality of strands each made by twisting a plurality of brass-plated steel filaments and monofilaments of organic fiber. Before twisting the cord, monofilaments of organic fiber are put in the gaps formed between the adjacent strands so as to prevent fluidized rubber from penetrating into a center core formed in the cord after the cord has been covered with rubber. The monofilaments should have a diameter small enough not to protrude from a circle circumscribing the cord and large enough to close the gaps between the adjacent strands.
