Abstract:
An elevator system includes a car or platform to transport passengers and/or goods as well as a counterweight, which are arranged as traversable or movable along a travel path, and which are coupled and/or with a drive by a suspension element interrelating their motion. The suspension element is guided and/or driven by a traction sheave and/or a drive shaft and/or a deflecting pulley. The suspension element is a sheathed and/or belt-type, with a first layer made of a first plasticizable and/or elastomeric material and a second layer with a connection plane formed between the first and second layers. At least one tension member—rope-type, tissue-type, or comprising a multitude of partial elements—is embedded in an area of the connection plane, a majority of a surface of said at least one tension member directly contacting said first layer. A manufacturing procedure for one of the suspension elements is provided.

Abstract:
It is an object of the present invention to reduce fretting between strands in a steel cord, to suppress reduction in cord strength caused by running, to enhance rubber penetrability, and to improve tire durability. The steel cord includes a cord main portion 19 of a triple layer-stranding structure including: a core 16 formed from one core strand f1, an inner sheath 17 including N (2 to 5) inner sheath strands f2 stranded with a stranding pitch Pi around the core; and outer sheath 18 formed from M (6 to 11) outer sheath strands f3 stranded with a stranding pitch Po around the inner sheath. Diameters of the strands f1, f2 and f3 are equal to each other, and stranding directions of the sheaths 17 and 18 are the same. A difference (|Ai−Ao|) between a stranding angle Ai of the inner sheath strand f2 and a stranding angle Ao of the outer sheath strand f3 is greater than 1° and smaller than 3°.
Abstract:
A steel cord (200) is described that is simple and cost effective to produce while solving some particular problems for the reinforcement of elastomer belts such as timing belts or the like. The cord (200) is a single lay cord that comprises a core filament (202), around which a first layer and a second layer of filaments (204, 210, 212) is twisted, all filaments being twisted with the same lay length and direction. By appropriate choice of the lay length, the core filament diameter and the filament diameters of the first layer—the latter being larger or equal to the former—an aggregate gap can form in which intermittently a filament (210′) of the second layer gets entrained. This aggregate gap must be between 40 and 70% of the core filament diameter in order to obtain the desired effect of having a core filament (202) that is deformed with the same lay length and direction as the other filaments (204,210,212). A deformed core filament (202) suppresses the effect of core filament migration. In addition the exceptional rough aspect of the cord (200) leads to good mechanical anchorage in the elastomer. Also the load exerted on the cord (200) is better distributed over all filaments. The use of the cord is not limited to timing belts: an advantageous use of the cord in tyres, hoses, hoisting belts, drive belts and reinforcing strips is anticipated.
