Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steel cord especially useful for reinforcement application to tire crowns, able to be efficiently produced with stable quality without causing for any trouble in production as in conventional production, a rubber-steel cord composite and a tire. SOLUTION: The steel cord has a multiple strand structure in which N (N=2-8) strands 2 prepared by twisting two or more element wires 1 are twisted. In the steel cord, ε c is defined by the following formula, wherein d(mm) expresses the diameter of the strand, D(mm) expresses the diameter of a circumscribed circle of the cord and P(mm) expresses a twisting pitch: ε c =√(-b/2+√(b 2 /4-c))-1 [wherein b expresses -1+π 2 (-4R 2 +d 2 )/P 2 ; c expresses π 2 d 2 k(4π 2 R 2 +P 2 )/P 4 ; R expresses (D-d)/2; k expresses tan 2 (π/2-π/N)] and satisfies ε c ≥0.005. The tire has a reinforcing layer using the rubber-steel cord composite as a reinforcing material. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steel cord for rubber crawlers, which is improved in buckling tendency and improved in rubber penetrability. SOLUTION: The steel cord is such as to be obtained by laying six sheath strands 2 around a core strand 1; wherein the core strand 1 is composed of a core consisting of three filaments 11 and a sheath put around the core and consisting of eight filaments 12, and each of the six sheath strands 2 is composed of a core consisting of three filaments 21 and a sheath put around the core and consisting of eight filaments 22. In this steel cord, the six sheath strands 2 are put apart from each other, and the angle θ of the sheath strands 2 relative to the core strand 1 is 10° or more. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steel cord which is a zero-degree belt cord having moderate elongation characteristics following to the expansion in the diametral direction of a tire in a vulcanizing treatment during molding of the tire, reducing the elongation after molding of the tire and suppressing the expansion of the tire in the radial direction during running. SOLUTION: The steel cord 1 has an n×m open structure without a core strand. The external tangent line shape S2 of strands 2 has a nearly elliptical shape in nearly the same direction in the longitudinal direction. The external tangent line shape S1 of the cord 1 is a nearly elliptical shape in the same direction as the elliptical direction of the strands. The steel cord is characterized as having a structure as follows. The flatness of the strands 2 and steel cord 1 is 1.15-2.70 and the adjacent mutual two wires and the mutual strands contact or approach in both terminal regions in the major axis direction of the strands 2 and steel cord 1 and separate in other regions. The elongation when applying 50 N tensile load is 1.2-3.0%. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

When the sum of the strand twist angle and the cord twist angle is between 39 and 48 degree, the structural elongation of the steel cord is no less than 3.0%.
Abstract:
The method for producing a two-layer multi-strand metal cable (10) involves: - winding, in a helix, N wires constituting an outer layer of a strand (Tl, TE) around 2 wires constituting an inner layer of the strand (Tl, TE) in such a way as to form the strand (Tl, TE); - winding, in a helix, L>1 previously formed outer strands (TE) constituting an unsaturated outer layer (C2) of the cable (10) around K>1 previously formed inner strands (Tl) constituting an inner layer (C1) of the cable (10), - overtwisting the wound cable (Tl, TE); - carrying out a step of balancing the overtwisted cable (10) in such a way as to obtain zero residual torque in the cable (10), and - carrying out a step of untwisting the balanced overtwisted cable (10).
