Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A tyre for vehicle wheels comprises a support structure and a tread band arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the support structure. The support structure comprises at least one reinforcing layer including a plurality of hybrid reinforcing cords ( 10 ′) each having a metallic wire ( 21 ) twisted together with a multifilament textile yarn ( 22 ) comprising a plurality of filaments ( 23 ). In any cross section of each of said hybrid reinforcing cords ( 10 ′), the metallic wire ( 21 ) is at least partially embedded in the filaments ( 23 ) of the multifilament textile yarn ( 22 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A hybrid reinforcing cord comprising: at least one first strand including at least one metallic wire made of steel and a multifilament textile yarn comprising a plurality of filaments, wherein, in any cross section of the hybrid reinforcing cord, the at least one metallic wire is at least partially embedded in the filaments of the multifilament textile yarn. 2 . The hybrid reinforcing cord according to claim 1 , wherein in at least one portion of the hybrid reinforcing cord, the at least one metallic wire is completely surrounded by the filaments of the multifilament textile yarn. 3 . The hybrid reinforcing cord according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first strand comprises a single first strand including x metallic wires or n first hybrid strands twisted together and each including x metallic wires, wherein n is a number ranging between 2 and 4 and x is a number ranging between 1 and 3. 4 . The hybrid reinforcing cord according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first strand is twisted together with at least one second strand, wherein the at least one second strand comprises at least one monofilament textile wire twisted together with a second multifilament textile yarn comprising a plurality of filaments, wherein, in any cross section of the at least one second strand, the at least one monofilament textile wire is at least partially embedded in the filaments of the second multifilament textile yarn. 5 . The hybrid reinforcing cord according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one second strand comprises m second strands twisted together with the at least one first strand, wherein each of the m second strands comprises y monofilament textile wires, wherein m is a number ranging between 1 and 4 and y is a number ranging between 1 and 3. 6 . The hybrid reinforcing cord according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one metallic wire has a diameter comprised between 0.10 mm and 0.45 mm and the multifilament textile yarn has a linear density comprised between 400 dtex and 4000 dtex. 7 . The hybrid reinforcing cord according to claim 1 , wherein the filaments of the multifilament textile yarn are made of fibers chosen from fibers of aromatic polyamides, fibers of aliphatic polyamides, polyester fibers, polyketone fibers, polyvinyl alcohol fibers, cellulose fibers, glass fibers, carbon fibers, and mixtures thereof. 8 . A hybrid reinforcing cord comprising: at least one first strand including at least one metallic wire and a multifilament textile yarn comprising a plurality of filaments, wherein, in any cross section of the hybrid reinforcing cord, the at least one metallic wire is at least partially embedded in the filaments of the multifilament textile yarn; wherein the at least one first strand is twisted together with at least one second strand, wherein the at least one second strand comprises at least one monofilament textile wire twisted together with a second multifilament textile yarn comprising a plurality of filaments, wherein, in any cross section of the at least one second strand, the at least one monofilament textile wire is at least partially embedded in the filaments of the second multifilament textile yarn.
