Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A novel cable comprising a multiplicity of substantially parallel core yarns constituting a core of a noncircular crosssection, said core being covered by a textile sheath, the bond between the core yarns and said core and sheath being imparted by a binder, said cable being characterized in that said noncircular cross-section has at least one axis of symmetry and said cable contains at least one reinforcing element normal to the axis of symmetry and extending over the entire width of said core at its point of introduction, said reinforcing element extending the entire length of said cable.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
97 words
A novel cable comprising a multiplicity of substantially parallel core yarns constituting a core of a noncircular crosssection, said core being covered by a textile sheath, the bond between the core yarns and said core and sheath being imparted by a binder, said cable being characterized in that said noncircular cross-section has at least one axis of symmetry and said cable contains at least one reinforcing element normal to the axis of symmetry and extending over the entire width of said core at its point of introduction, said reinforcing element extending the entire length of said cable.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The cable of claim 1 wherein said reinforcing element is composed of a fabric.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
The cable of claim 2 wherein said fabric is located in said cable so that its warp is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cable, elongation to rupture of said fabric being 10-30 percent in the warp and less than 10 percent in the weft.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
11 words
The cable of claim 1 wherein the noncircular cross-section is elliptical.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The cable of claim 4 wherein said reinforcing elements are normal to the major axis of symmetry of said elliptical cross-section and parallel to the minor axis of symmetry.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The cable of claim 5 wherein one reinforcing element is disposed on the minor axis of symmetry.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
142 words
A process for the production of a cable composed of a multiplicity of parallel core yarns which comprises: a. impregnating a sheet of parallel yarns with a binder; b. disposing said yarns in the position that they will occupy in the finished cable in a manner so as to produce a core of noncircular cross-section having at least one axis of symmetry; c. at the time of formation of said core introducing between the yarns at least one reinforcing element normal to the axis of symmetry of said core or one of the axes of symmetry of said core and extending over the entire length of said core and over the entire width of said core at the point of introduction; d. covering the core thus formed in step (c) with an outer sheath; and e. vulcanizing the assembly of step (d).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
142 words
A process for the production of a cable composed of a multiplicity of parallel core yarns which comprises: a. impregnating a sheet of parallel yarns with a binder; b. disposing said yarns in the position that they will occupy in the finished cable in a manner so as to produce a core of noncircular cross-section having at least one axis of symmetry; c. at the time of formation of said core introducing between the yarns at least one reinforcing element normal to the axis of symmetry of said core or one of the axes of symmetry of said core and extending over the entire length of said core and over the entire width of said core at the point of introduction; d. covering the core thus formed in step (c) with an outer sheath; and e. vulcanizing the assembly of step (d).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
32 words
The process of claim 7 wherein the core produced in step (c) and assembly of step (d) are impregnated with a binder both before and after covering said core with said sheath.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
29 words
The process of claim 7 wherein at the time of formation of the core electrical conductor elements are introduced so as to extend the entire length of said core.
