Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article in which both the rubber penetrability (rust prevention), and the cord strength and shear resistance are highly achieved. Provided is a steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article including: one core strand 11 having a layered-twisted structure formed by twisting a plurality of steel filaments 1 ; and a plurality of sheath strands 12 having a layered-twisted structure formed by twisting a plurality of steel filaments 2 , wherein the sheath strands are twisted around the core strand. An average value Lc of an amount of clearance between outermost layer sheath filaments constituting an outermost layer sheath of the core strand is from 0.073 to 0.130 mm, and the number of the outermost layer sheath filaments is from 7 to 10.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article comprising: one core strand having a layered-twisted structure formed by twisting a plurality of steel filaments; and a plurality of sheath strands having a layered-twisted structure formed by twisting a plurality of steel filaments, wherein the sheath strands are twisted around the core strand, and wherein an average value Lc of an amount of clearance between outermost layer sheath filaments constituting an outermost layer sheath of the core strand is from 0.073 to 0.130 mm, and the number of the outermost layer sheath filaments is from 7 to 10. 2. The steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the sheath strands is from 7 to 9. 3. The steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article according to claim 1 , wherein all filaments constituting the core strand have the same diameter. 4. The steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article according to claim 1 , wherein a cord diameter is not less than 5.00 mm. 5. The steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio Lc/Ls of the average value Lc of the amount of clearance between the outermost layer sheath filaments constituting the outermost layer sheath of the core strand to an average value Ls of an amount of clearance between outermost layer sheath filaments constituting an outermost layer sheath of the sheath strand is more than 1 and not more than 1.5. 6. The steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article according to claim 1 , wherein the core strand has a two-layered structure. 7. A pneumatic tire, wherein the steel cord for reinforcing a rubber article according to claim 1 is used as a reinforcing material.
