Abstract:
A metallic cord has (a) a core composed of two filaments either parallel or intertwisted with each other, (b) a single filament surrounding the core and (c) a sheath of nine filaments surrounding the core and single filament. Preferably, the diameter of each filament ranges from about 0.15 to 0.4 mm. The cord may reinforce elastomeric articles such as tires, belts and hoses and preferably is used in a belt ply or carcass ply of a pneumatic tire.
Abstract:
Ein kombiniertes Seil mit einem Kernseil aus hochfesten Kunststofffasern, die als ein verdrilltes Monofilbündel oder eine Mehrzahl von verdrillten Monofilbündeln vorliegen, und mit einer Außenlage aus Stahldrahtlitzen ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das bzw. die Monofilbündel unter Durchmesserverringerung gedehnt und in diesem Zustand durch eine, insbesondere geflochtene, Ummantelung gehalten ist bzw. sind. Die Dehnung des Kernseiles unter Last wird dadurch verringert, so dass sich die Lastverteilung zwischen dem Stahlquerschnitt und dem Kunststoffquerschnitt des Seiles verbessert. Um im gleichen Sinne umgekehrt das Dehnverhalten der Litzenlage demjenigen des Kernseiles anzunähern, weist das Seil eine Zwischenlage aus einem elastischen Kunststoff auf, in den die Stahldrahtlitzen mit einem Abstand voneinander eingedrückt sind, derart, dass sich die Außenlage unter Last dehnt und radial zusammenzieht. Analog kann eine Litze aufgebaut werden.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a combined cable having a core cable made of high-strength plastic fibers present as a twisted monofilament bundle (1) or a plurality of twisted monofilament bundles (6), and having an external layer (2, 7) of steel wire strands (4, 5), characterized in that the monofilament bundle or bundles (1, 6) is or are stretched to reduce the diameter and held in a cladding (2, 7), particularly braided cladding, in this state. The strain of the core cable under load is thus reduced, so that the load distribution between the steel cross-section and the plastic cross-section of the cable is improved. In the same sense, in reverse, in order to have the strain behavior of the strand layer approach that of the core cable, the cable has an intermediate layer (3) made of an elastic plastic, in which the steel wire strands are pressed at a distance from each other, such that the external layer stretches under load and contracts radially.
Abstract:
A combined cable comprising a core cable of high-strength synthetic fibers, which take the form of a twisted bundle of monofilaments or a plurality of twisted bundles of monofilaments, and comprising an outer layer of steel wire strands, is characterized in that the bundle or bundles of monofilaments is or are stretched, with a reduction in diameter, and held in this state by a sheathing, in particular a braided sheathing. The extension under strain of the core cable under load is thereby reduced, so that the load distribution between the cross section of steel and the cross section of synthetic material of the cable improves.In order, in the same sense, conversely to make the strain behavior of the layer of strands approximate that of the core cable, the cable has an intermediate layer of an elastic synthetic material into which the steel wire strands are pressed while spaced apart from one another in such a way that the outer layer extends under load, and contracts radially.A strand can be analogously constructed.
Abstract:
Apparatus for stranding elongated elements into a bundle of reversely twisted strand sections includes a rotating accumulator drum, a rotating winding flyer at the first end of the drum, and a rotating unwinding flyer at the second end of the drum. A guide plate and collector die guide the elements into the winding flyer, and a twist blocking device guides the twisted strands out of the unwinding flyer. A first twist of the bundle is produced by the winding flyer in a zone between collector die the winding flyer. A second reverse twist is produced by the unwinding flyer in the zone between the unwinding flyer and the twist blocking device. The winding flyer, the drum and the unwinding flyer rotate around a common axis, in the same direction, but at different speeds which change in alternating winding phases. The speed of the flyers and the drum are different from each other, but constant within the particular winding phase. The speeds of the flyers and drums are selected so that the strands are drawn through the apparatus at a predetermined speed and so that twisting in reverse direction occurs in alternating sections as the strands are drawn through the apparatus. The speed of rotation of the flyers and drums also determines the tightness of the twist. Durations of the periodically changing speeds are preferably selected such that the length of the bundle stranded in one direction is equal to the length stranded in the opposite direction.
