Patent number: 9102288Abstract: An impact beam (40) comprises a polymer matrix and a reinforcing structure, the structure comprises a number of metal reinforcing cords (22) and non-metal elongated binding elements (26) or non-metal coated elongated binding elements arranged between the cords for holding the metal reinforcing cords together. Each of the metal cords has a metallic cross-sectional area Ametal, and the ratio of the metallic area Ametal to the area of the circumscribed circle (TTdcord2/4) is at least 0.60. The metal cords further have a non chemically binding with the matrix, and non-metal elongated binding elements or non-metal coated elongated binding elements have a chemical bond with said polymer matrix. By not having a mechanical interlocking and a non chemically binding with the matrix, the whole metal cord is stressed and not a local point while in the latter case the metal cord would locally break due to the very high impact forces.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2012Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignees: NV BEKAERT SA, VOESTALPINE POLYNORM VAN NIFTRIK BV, BASF SEInventors: Erwin Lokere, Jeroen Gallens, Veerle Van Wassenhove, Hendrik Rommel

Publication number: 20140295207Abstract: A textile structure for the reinforcement of a polymer material The invention relates to textile structure (100) for the reinforcement of a polymer material. The textile structure comprises in a first direction a number of bundles arranged in mutual substantially parallel position. The bundles comprise n metal filaments. The bundles have a main axis and a non-circular cross-section. For each of the bundles, the n metal filaments of a particular bundle are arranged predominantly parallel with the main axis of this particular bundle. The structure further comprises elongated positioning elements (106) to hold the bundles in mutual substantially parallel position and to hold the n metal filaments of a particular bundle predominantly parallel with the main axis of the bundle. The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing such a textile structure and to the use of a textile structure for the reinforcement of a polymer material.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2012Publication date: October 2, 2014Inventors: Henk Cornelus, Veerle Van Wassenhove, Annelien Van Laerle

Publication number: 20140220332Abstract: An impact beam (70) comprises a polymer matrix and a reinforcing structure, the structure further comprises a number of metal reinforcing cords (11) and non-metal elongated binding elements (13) or non-metal coated elongated binding elements arranged between the cords for holding the metal reinforcing cords together. Part of the non-metal elongated binding elements is positioned at the exterior surface of the impact beam in order to keep the metal reinforcing cords away from the surface of the part. The impact beam may also comprise a non-steel distance keeper (66) being positioned at the exterior surface of the impact beam in order to keep the metal reinforcing cords away from the surface of the part. The non-steel distance keeper can either be a non-metal coating on said metal reinforcing cords or non-metal elongated binding elements (55) arranged between the cords for holding the metal reinforcing cords together.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2012Publication date: August 7, 2014Inventors: Hendrik Rommel, Henk Cornelus, Veerle Van Wassenhove

Publication number: 20140170364Abstract: A hybrid fabric comprises in one direction high modulus elongated elements and in another direction low modulus elongated elements and further low modulus elongated elements keep the high modulus elongated elements at a uniform distance. The low modulus elongated dements have an elongation at break of more than 10% in order to allow stretching of the fabric in the other direction while maintaining the high modulus elongated elements at a uniform distance. The hybrid fabric is particularly suitable to form a two-dimensional or three-dimensional shaped structure. The hybrid fabric may be used in a carcass of a tire.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2012Publication date: June 19, 2014Inventors: Alfred Sasko, Stijn Himpe, Veerle Van Wassenhove, Dirk Tytgat, Manuel Willequet, Steven Wostyn
