A steel cord particularly adapted for reinforcement of a protection ply in a tire has under compression in rubber a deformation W at instability of at least 3% and is stress-relieved so that its total elongation at rupture in rubber exceeds 3.5%. The steel cord comprises pearlite filaments.

Steel cord for protection plies of pneumatic tires

A steel cord adapted for the reinforcement of an elastomer comprises steel filaments of a pearlitic structure. The steel cord has a plastic and elastic elongation at break of x % and a plastic and elastic elongation capability in the vulcanized elastomer of y %, the values x and y fulfilling following equation:

Cord with high non-structural elongation

This invention relates to a spool comprising a central portion (2) and two flanges (3) which can be attached to each other by means of fastening means (7), whereby both flanges (3) are provided with fastening means (7) which are located at the innerside (6) of these flanges (3) and which are attachable to the innerside (5) of the central portion (2).
