Abstract:
A steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article and a pneumatic tire. When it is a reinforcement material for a tire belt, the steel cord is capable of satisfying weight lightening, durability and driving stability. The steel cord comprises a core made by parallelly arranging two non-twisted core wires (1) from one layer of sheath made by twisting three to five sheath wires (2) around the core. The outline shape of the cord in a cross-section orthogonal to the axis of the cord is flat The inclination, as seen from the side of the cord, of the core wires is 3° or less relative to the cord axis.
Abstract:
A tire cord having core filaments (10) performed into a helical configuration while maintaining the core filaments (10) in a parallel, side-by-side relationship. The core filaments (10) are not twisted or stranded together. High tensile strength sheath filaments (11) are also performed into a flattened helical configuration so that the sheath filaments (11) can be wrapped around the side-by-side core filaments such that the sheath filaments (11) do not put such tension on the core filaments (10) as to cause the core filaments (10) to bunch. The core filaments (10) are maintained in a flat side-by-side configuration so that no voids are formed and rubber can penetrate into the tire cord. The core filaments (10) may number from three to six and the sheath filaments (11) from one to seven. The cross-section of the tire cord is flattened and confined within an oval-shaped outer bound (21), the oval outer bound (21) being characterized by a major axis and a minor axis. It is desirable that the minor axis be no greater than 60% of the major axis to create the appropriate difference in the bending modulus of the tire cord in the horizontal versus the vertical direction.

Abstract:
A metallic cord for the reinforcement of elastomers has a 4+3 construction wherein the diameter of each filament ranges from 0.35 to 0.50 mm. The lay length of the four filaments in the core may be infinity. A pneumatic tire has a belt structure of at least two radially overlapped layers of elastomeric materials reinforced with metallic cords, each metallic cord of at least one of the layers being the 4+3 metallic cord.
Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing a two-layer multistrand metal cord, N wires constituting an outer strand layer are wound in a helix around two wires constituting an inner strand layer, so as to form a strand. L>1 previously formed strands, which are incorporated as outer strands of an unsaturated outer cord layer of the cord, are wound in a helix around K>1 previously formed strands, which are incorporated as inner strands of an inner cord layer of the cord, to form a wound cord. The wound cord is overtwisted, the overtwisted cord is balanced so as to obtain zero residual torque in the overtwisted cord, and the balanced overtwisted cord is untwisted.
Abstract:
In a multi-strand steel cable, at least three layers are present. An inner layer includes from 1 to 4 wires. An intermediate layer surrounds the inner layer and includes from 3 to 12 wires wound together in a helix at a pitch p2. An outer layer surrounds the intermediate layer and includes from 8 to 20 wires wound together in a helix at a pitch p3. A rubber sheath covers at least the intermediate layer and is formed of a cross-linkable or cross-linked rubber composition that includes at least one diene elastomer.

A reinforcing structure designed for handling compression stress states when the structure is molded into a composite. The structure, specifically a wrapped cord with metallic filaments contained therein, is suitable for both compression and tension load forces. The reinforcing structure has a core comprising a plurality of essentially straight, nested filaments arranged in parallel, the filaments forming a line of contact with adjacent filaments that extends along the length of the filaments. Wrapped about the core is at least one helically wound wire.
