Abstract
A cable for reinforcing objects formed of elastic or easily deformable material, such as automobile tires and conveyor belts, has as conventional components a core and at least one peripheral layer surrounding the core, each component being formed of elements, such as individual wires or strands of wires. The resistance of such a reinforcing cable to fatigue and/or to wear is increased due to the fact that at least two consecutive components in contact with each other in radial direction are constituted of elements made of material having moduli of elasticity which differ from one component to the other.

A cable for reinforcing a tire, having as components a metallic core free of peripheral ridges thereon and at least one peripheral layer surrounding said metallic core, each component being formed of elements, characterized by the fact that at least two consecutive components in contact with each other in radial direction are constituted of elements made of materials having moduli of elasticity which differ from one component to the other, whereby the radial contact pressures between the elements of one component and the elements of the adjacent component are reduced.
