VERSTÄRKUNGSSTRUKTUR

摘要

A reinforcing structure designed for handling compression stress states when the structure is molded into a composite. The structure, specifically a wrapped cord (10, 20) with metallic filaments (12) contained therein, is suitable for both compression and tension load forces. The reinforcing structure has a core (14) comprising a plurality of essentially straight, nested filaments (12) arranged in parallel, the filaments (12) forming a line of contact with adjacent filaments (12) that extends along the length of the filaments (12). Wrapped about the core (14) is at least one helically wound wire (16).
