Abstract:
Steel cord used as a reinforcement for a belt layer in pneumatic tires. The steel cord is manufactured by: forming a plurality of bends, per filament length equivalent to one twist pitch, on each of filaments which constitute an outer layer sheath, with the filament length equivalent to one twist pitch being a cycle; twisting these filaments while the bends belonging to the same phase are aligned in a cord axial direction; and subjecting cord side surfaces to compression processing. As a result, flat side surface portions are formed, in which a plurality of filaments forming the outer layer sheath are positioned substantially in the same plane. The steel cord thus formed is used in reinforcement plies for pneumatic radial tires such that the reinforcement plies are laminated in a manner in which the flat side surface portions are mutually parallel. Accordingly, the distribution of shearing stress acting on rubber between the flat side surface portions of the steel cord is made uniform and rigidity of a tire per amount of steel cord used is enhanced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a weight of the steel cord used per tire, and by mounting such pneumatic radial tires on a vehicle, to improve fuel efficiency.

Steel cord used as a reinforcement for a belt layer in pneumatic tires. The steel cord is manufactured by forming a plurality of bends per strand length equivalent to one twist pitch on a strand, which constitutes an outer layer sheath, with the strand length equivalent to one twist pitch being a cycle, twisting these strands while the bends belonging to the same phase are aligned in a cord axial direction, and subjecting cord side surfaces to compression processing. As a result, flat side surface portions are formed, in which a plurality of strands forming the outer layer sheath are positioned substantially in the same plane. The steel cord thus formed is used in reinforcement plies for pneumatic radial tires such that the reinforcement plies are laminated so that the flat side surface portions are mutually parallel.

Abstract:
A pneumatic tire for aircraft capable of increasing the number of landings for each tread by preventing the durability against heating of a top tread from being deteriorated when the depth of a groove is increased. The top tread (2) comprises a double layer structure formed by stacking a base tread layer (11) and a cap tread layer (12) in that order from the inner surface side at least partly in the lateral direction of the tire. At least one of peripheral grooves (4a) to (4d) is formed in the surface of the top tread (2), and the base tread layer (11) and the cap tread layer (12) fulfill requirements expressed by the following expressions (1) and (2). 1.05
Abstract:
A steel cord (1) comprising a core (3) formed by bundling three or more filaments (2) side by side without twisting and a sheath (5) of at least one layer comprised of plural filaments (4) wound around the core, characterized in that an arrangement of the filaments (2) constituting the core (3) at a section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the core differs between at least a part in the longitudinal direction of the core and the other part thereof, and all filaments (2) constituting the core (3) in all section parts are arranged in a rectangle having a long side of d x (n+1) and a short side of d x (1+1/2 ) when the diameter of the filament is d and the number of the filaments in the core is n. Such steel cords are used in a belt of a pneumatic tire. Also, these cords are produced by a tubular-type twisting machine having a specified structure.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain a steel cord remarkably different in flexural rigidity between both the directions mutually crossing in the cross section of the cord and capable of producing a tire belt having a high in-plane flexural rigidity and a low out-plane flexural rigidity without especially using a filament having a large diameter or having an oval cross section as the belt material. CONSTITUTION:This steel cord is produced by intertwisting three or more steel filaments to obtain a strand, arranging plural number of the resultant strands in one plane in a state in which they are in contact with each other to form a bundle and spirally winding a wrapping filament around the bundle.
