  • Publication number: 20200346494
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rubberized reinforcing ply (1) for articles consisting of an elastomeric material, preferably for vehicle tires, wherein the reinforcing ply (1) has a multiplicity of textile strengthening members (2) which are arranged parallel to and spaced apart from one another, wherein each textile strengthening member (2) is composed of at least one twisted multifilament yarn composed of the material viscose. The reinforcing ply (1) satisfies the following condition: (D2/E0) in mm corresponds to a value in a range from 0.30 mm to 0.45 mm, and the reinforcing ply (1) has a strength of 11 kN/dm<x<20 kN/dm, where D is the diameter of the textile strengthening member (2) in mm and lies in a range from 0.38 mm to 0.48 mm, and where E0=100/epdm.

  • Patent number: 9815339
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic vehicle tire (1) of radial design having a carcass (4) and having components (9, 10) which adjoin the carcass (4), wherein thread-shaped elements (11) are arranged on at least one of the two surfaces of the carcass (4) and preferably serve to discharge occluded air between the carcass (4) and the adjoining components (9, 10) during the construction of the tire. In order to improve the electrical conductivity of the pneumatic vehicle tire (1), at least one thread-shaped element (11) has a coating which is electrically conductive and jointly forms an electrically conductive, thread-shaped element (12) which has an electrical resistance of <1×107 Ohm/cm. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the electrically conductive coating.

  • Patent number: 9677198
    Abstract: A hybrid cord of at least two multifilament yarns twisted together is described, where the first yarn is a viscose multifilament yarn and the second yarn is a non-metallic multifilament yarn composed of a material that is not identical to the first multifilament yarn. The viscose multifilament yarn is conditioned in the standard climate in accordance with DIN EN ISO 139-1:2005, and has a yarn linear density <1100 dtex and a breaking tenacity of ?45 cN/tex. The hybrid cord has a cord linear density of ?3000 dtex.

  • Publication number: 20160001600
    Abstract: A rubberized reinforcing ply for articles made of an elastomeric material, specifically vehicle tires, which have a plurality of parallel tire cords spaced apart from one another and the tire cords are hybrid cords of at least two multifilament yarns twisted together. The first multifilament yarn is a viscose multifilament yarn and the other multifilament yarn is a non-metallic multifilament yarn made of a material that is not identical to the first multifilament yarn. The viscose multifilament yarn is conditioned in a standard atmosphere according to DIN EN ISO 139-1:2005 and after conditioning has a yarn titer<1100 dtex and a tensile strength?45 cN/tex. The hybrid cord has a core titer?3000 dtex.

  • Patent number: 7188654
    Abstract: Belt bandage for a vehicle pneumatic tire that includes a ply having strength carriers embedded in an unvulcanized rubber mixture. The strength carriers run essentially parallel to one another. Each strength carrier includes a hybrid cord that has a first twisted yarn having a high modulus of elasticity of at least approximately 25000 N/mm2 and a second twisted yarn having a low modulus of elasticity which is no greater than approximately 15000 N/mm2. The first and second twisted yarns are final-twisted together. A cord count E in cords per 5 cm ply widths, a force F1 at 2% elongation of each hybrid cord, and a force F2 at 6% elongation of each hybrid cord satisfies the following relationships: F1×E?approximately 600 N F2×E>approximately 1500 N. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
