    Inventors: Dennis R. Brandyberry, Kenneth M. Kot
  • Metallic cable and apparatus for manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 4566261
    Abstract: 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 for reinforcing elastomeric articles
    Patent number: 4516395
    Abstract: 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.
