Abstract
Provided is a rubber-cord composite, a tire reinforcing member including the composite, and a tire including the reinforcing member. The rubber-cord composite includes a reinforcing cord, and the composite forms a spiral cord layer in the tire reinforcing member. The twist coefficient of the reinforcing cord is 0.3 or less.
Claims20
A rubber-cord composite used for a spiral cord layer in a tire reinforcing member having at least one core cord layer and the spiral cord layer including a reinforcing cord spirally wound around the core cord layer, said rubber-cord composite comprising:
- one or a plurality of the reinforcing cords are aligned in parallel and covered with rubber,
- the reinforcing cord includes a nonmetallic fiber,
- where the modulus per cord of the reinforcing cord is A (GPa), the number of cord end counts per 50 mm width of the rubber-cord composite is B (/50 mm), the thickness of the reinforcing cord is C (mm), the specific gravity of the reinforcing cord is D (g/cm3), the number of upper twists of the reinforcing cord is E (times/10 cm), and the total fineness of the reinforcing cord is F (dtex),
- the modulus X per 50 mm width of the rubber-cord composite represented by X=A×B is 1,000 GPa or more,
- a cord interval Y between the adjacent reinforcing cords in the rubber-cord composite in a direction perpendicular to the cord longitudinal direction represented by Y=(50−B×C)/B is from 0.1 mm to 5 mm, and
- the twist coefficient Z of the reinforcing cord represented by Z=tan θ=E×√(0.125×F/D)/1,000 is 0.3 or less.
