ANNULAR METAL CORD, ENDLESS METAL BELT, AND METHOD OF PRODUCING ANNULAR METAL CORD

摘要

Provided are an annular metal cord having high breaking strength and capable of being easily produced, an endless metal belt, and a method of producing an annular metal cord. The annular metal cord (C1) is formed by annular core section (3) and an outer layer section (4) multiply helically wrapped around the annular core section (3) and covering the outer periphery of the annular core section (3). The annular core section (3) is formed in an annular shape by first and second strand members (1, 2) formed by twisting multiple metal wires (5, 6) together. An adhesion material for coating is applied and solidified around the annular metal cord(C1) to cover its periphery by an outer layer coating (10) formed from the elastic coating material.
