Abstract

See full text

A high elongation compact helical steel cord with a high degree of elongation at break of not less than 5% has a (1.times.n) structure comprising three or more base wires which are helically preformed at a predetermined pitch and which are twisted in the same direction and at the same pitch so that the ratio P/D of the cord diameter D to the twisting pitch P is in the range of 8-15 with the base wire preforming pitch being shorter than the cord twisting pitch. The finished cord has a helical composite structure with its elongation under a load of 35 kgf/mm.sup.2 being 0.71%-1.00% and that under a load of 70 kgf/mm.sup.2 being 1.18%-1.57%. A radial tire is reinforced with the steel cord preferably as a steel belt cord. An apparatus for making the steel cord is provided with revolving preformers on the wire introducing portion of a bunching machine such that the bunching machine is rotated in a direction reverse to the rotational direction of the revolving preformers.
