  • Roll of preformed steel cord reinforced strip
    Patent number: 7846539
    Abstract: The invention concerns a roll of strip of elastomer material reinforced with parallel steel cords. The roll of strip differs from the prior art that it is intentionally not flat when unrolled: it has obtained a permanent preformation so as to take a helical shape when unwound. Such a strip is particularly useful for reinforcing substantially cylindrical objects such as tubes or pillars. Methods to produce such kind of strips are also presented.
