A metallic cable (10) suitable for reinforcing elastomeric articles comprises two or more substantially identical helical formed bare filaments (11,12,13) nested together and secured to one another by axially spaced apart applications of an adhesive substance.

Metallic cable

A method of making metallic cable (10) suitable for reinforcing elastomeric articles which comprises two or more substantially identical helical formed filaments (11, 12, 13) nested together and secured to one another by axially spaced apart applications of an adhesive substance.

Method of making a metallic cable

A single strand cord of single filaments having similar diameter lay length and direction with at least one core filament positioned with the filaments in the next layer and filaments laid on the cord in one layer positioned with another layer.

Single strand metal cord and method of making

A metallic cable (10) suitable for reinforcing elastomeric articles comprises two or more substantially identical, helically disposed filaments (11, 12, 13) nested together and twisted together, such that the cable has a lay length (L) that is at least two times greater than the pitch length (P) of the filaments. The cable is manufactured by drawing metallic filaments from a bobbin means (31, 32, 33) and then guiding them through a means for deforming (34) that shapes the filaments into helixes. The filaments are positioned beside and against each other such that each filament is in contact with at least one other filament. After a sunken rotating pulley (37) guides the filaments through the hollow bearing (23) of a first flyer (21), first and second rotating flyers (21, 22) twist the helically disposed filaments together to form a cable.

Metallic cable and apparatus for manufacturing the same

A metallic cable for reinforcing elastomeric articles comprises two strands of two filaments twisted together and having a cable lay length. The filaments of each strand are twisted together and the strands have strand lay lengths that are equal to one another but different from the cable lay length. The direction of twist of the strands may be either the same as, or opposite to the direction of twist of the cable.

Metallic cable for reinforcing elastomeric articles

A metallic cable comprises a strand comprising a plurality of parallel filaments twisted with another strand comprising at least one filament. The cable is manufactured using a two for one twist principle.
