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:
Provided is a steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article which can further improve cut resistance when applied to a tire. Provided is a steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article including: one core strand 11 having a layered-twisted structure formed by twisting a plurality of steel filaments 1; and a plurality of sheath strands 12 having a layered-twisted structure formed by twisting a plurality of steel filaments 2, wherein the sheath strands are twisted around the core strand. A ratio S1/S of the sum S1 of cross-sectional areas of outermost layer sheath filaments constituting an outermost layer sheath of the core strand to the sum S of cross-sectional areas of all filaments constituting the core strand is from 0.69 to 0.74, and a ratio Ps/P of the sum Ps of strengths of the sheath strands to strength P of the cord as a whole is from 0.81 to 0.85.
Abstract:
A steel cord is configured so that, when the steel cord is used as a tensile cord for an elastic crawler, a center-core dislocation and the earl y breakage of the wi res of a core are prevented. A steel cord comprises: a core which comprises a single core strand, and a sheath which is formed by twisting together six sheath strands arranged around the core. The core strand has a layer-twisted structure comprising: a center-core portion which is formed by twisting three core wires together; and an external layer portion which is formed by twisting together eight to nine core wires arranged around the center-core portion. The sheath strands each have either a bundle twisted structure which is formed by twisting twelve to nineteen sheath wires or a multi-layer twisted structure which is formed by twisting twelve to nineteen sheath wires in layers. The diameter (dc) of the core wires is greater than the diameter (ds) of the sheath wi res. The average gap (Gc) between the core wi res of the external layer portion is 0.015 mm or greater, and the average gap (Gs) between the sheath strands is 0.1 mm or greater.
Abstract:
A steel cord (10) adapted for the reinforcement of rubber products, comprises a core strand (12) and six peripheral strands (14) concentrically surrounding the core strand (12). Each of the core and peripheral strands (12, 14) comprises a centre of two or more centre filaments (16) and two layers of filaments surrounding the centre. The core strand (12) has a diameter D1 which is greater than the diameter D2 of the peripheral strands (14). All the filaments (18, 20) of each layer have substantially the same diameter and a radially outer layer has a twist angle which is greater than a twist angle of a radially inner layer of the same strand. Each of the strands (12, 14) in the cord is composed of no more than twenty-six filaments (16, 18, 20) being twisted together.
Abstract:
A steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article which can improve the cut resistant property in the case of treading on an obtusely or sharply pointed projection without decreasing the strength in the axial direction of the cord and without increasing the tire weight, as well as a tire utilizing the same as a reinforcing material, are provided. The steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article has a multi-twisted structure formed by twisting a plurality of sheath strands (2) formed by twisting a plurality of wires around a core strand (2) formed by twisting a plurality of wires, and the core strand (1) and the sheath strands (2) are constituted of an at least 2-layer-twisted structure formed by twisting core wires and sheath wires respectively. In this case the relationship represented by the following formula 1.8≤[(S·cos 2 α)/{r·(φ1+φ2)}]×100≤4.2 is satisfied, wherein φ 1: the diameter of an outermost wire of the strand (1), φ 2: the diameter of an outermost wire of the strand (2), r: the center distance between the strand (1) and the strand (2), S: the cross section of the strand (2), and α: the twist angle of the strand (2).
