Abstract:
A reinforcing cord for a belt ply or a carcass ply of a pneumatic vehicle tire is provided and comprises a core filament and four to six ply filaments. The core filament is comprised of an elastically or plastically deformable polymeric material, or is encased with such a material, which fills the space surrounded by the ply filaments and/or penetrates into the gaps between the ply filaments.
Abstract:
A wire cable for window regulators of automobiles is disclosed. In the wire cable, the core strand has a double-layer twisted strand structure with an F+6+12 element wire structure, and consists of a high-strength synthetic resin filament used as a core element wire (F), six internal element wires primarily twisted around the core element wire to form an internal layer around the core element wire, and twelve external element wires secondarily twisted around the internal layer to form an external layer around the internal layer. Eight external strands, having a single-layer twisted strand structure with a 1+6 element wire structure, are twisted around the core strand to form an 8×7+(F+6+12) element wire structure of the wire cable in cooperation with the core strand. The synthetic resin filament used as the core element wire of the core strand has a diameter slightly larger than that of the internal and external element wires of the core strand. The core strand is also compressed at a compression ratio of 2˜10%, thus bringing its element wires into surface contact with each other in place of point contact. In this wire cable, the element wires of the core strand are not likely to be deformed or broken, thus being improved in its fatigue resistance against a repeated bending action, in addition to improving the productivity of the wire cables.

Abstract:
A composite cord is provided which is simple in manufacture, highly productive, less costly, and improved in rubber penetration. The composite cord has a 1nulln construction (n is an integer from 3 to 12) with 2 to 11 metallic filaments and 1 to 5 polymer fibers having a melting point of 50 to 200 degrees twisted together. The pneumatic tire employing this composite cord for its reinforcing element is restricted in rust formation and improved in strength retention.
Abstract:
A core for wire rope has a fluted member (1) of polymeric or elastomeric material with symmetrically spaced helical grooves (2) each having the shape of an elliptical arc in cross-section in a plane normal to the core axis. The core may contain a reinforcing member, conductors, or optical fibers.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing a high strength synthetic strength member containing rope and a resultant rope, comprising multiple layers of twisted and braided yarns, wherein individual sheaths enclosing individual strands are of a material such as HMPE, PTFE or UHMWPE with a lower decomposition temperature than the material of said strands being aramid, the method comprising subjecting parts of the rope to heat and tension thereby pre-stretching and creating a non-uniform or non-round shape of said strands, further choosing a combination of braid and twist angles as well as braid compressive forces to accommodate specific strength and elongation relation between the individual rope layers.
Abstract:
Hybrid rope (20) comprising a core element (22) containing high modulus fibers surrounded by at least one outer layer (24) containing wirelike metallic members (26). The core element (22) is coated (23) with a thermoplastic polyurethane or a copolyester elastomer, preferably the copolyester elastomer containing soft blocks in the range of 10 to 70 wt %. The coated material (23) on the inner core element (22) is inhibited to be pressed out in-between the wirelike members (26) of the hybrid rope (20) and the hybrid rope (20) has decreased elongation and diameter reduction after being in use.
Abstract:
In an elevator rope, an inner layer rope has: an inner layer rope fiber core; a plurality of inner layer strands; and a resin inner layer rope coating body that is coated onto an outer circumference. Inner layer strands are twisted together on an outer circumference of the inner layer rope fiber core. The inner layer strands have: an inner layer strand fiber core that is disposed centrally; and a plurality of steel inner layer strand wires that are twisted together on an outer circumference of the inner layer strand fiber core. In addition, a plurality of steel outer layer strands are twisted together on an outer circumference of the inner layer rope.
