Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the sector of textile yarns for technical use and more particularly to an elastic cable intended for the production of technical textile articles with high characteristics in terms of mechanical strength and elongation rates, such as cords, straps or fabrics.
  • elastic cables are commonly manufactured by combining two son of different mechanical properties.
  • a first elastomeric yarn for example natural rubber or elastane, which has a high elasticity associated with a low elastic modulus and a low tensile strength is used.
  • This first yarn is combined with one or more yarns which have a high tensile strength, associated with a high elastic modulus and a low elongation capacity, such as for example polyamide or polypropylene yarns. Because of this combination, such cables will be qualified in the following description of "hybrid cables”.
  • These conventional hybrid cables are in the form of a central core constituted by the elastic wire, whose tensile strength as a function of the elongation rate is represented by the curve E in continuous line on the figure 1 A . It is recalled that the rate of elongation is calculated as the ratio between the elongation from a state of rest, divided by the length at rest.
  • This core is surrounded by a sheath formed by the resistant son, the tensile strength as a function of the elongation rate of the resistant son is represented by the curve T dotted line on the Figure 1A .
  • the realization of the sheath around the elastic core uses one or other of the conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art: braiding, knitting, wrapping.
  • the hybrid cables of the prior art first have a first zone (zone 1) of low charge s' extending for example from 0 to 60% elongation in which the elongation increases rapidly depending on the load. Then, from the rate of 60%, there is a second zone (zone 2) in which the stiffness of the cable increases gradually until it breaks.
  • the tensile strength of the cable is practically equal to that of the elastic thread (and therefore similar to that shown in solid lines on the Figure 1A ).
  • the sheath accompanies the lengthening of the elastic core by a modification of the geometric shape of its meshes (in the case of knitted or braided sheaths) or its turns (in the case of a gimped sheath). This modification consists of a lengthening of the meshes or turns in the longitudinal direction and consecutively a narrowing in the diametral direction.
  • Hybrid cables of the prior art thus have the disadvantage of having a relatively low area of light load, due to an increase in stiffness which manifests itself at relatively low elongation rates (several tens of below the elongation at break). They also have a too gradual increase of the stiffness on the second zone, which is an unfavorable element to ensure a precise limitation of the elongations.
  • these hybrid cables of the prior art have the disadvantage of wearing down quickly.
  • the resistant son are not parallel to the elastic core, and are therefore subject to high stresses due to the compression of the elastic son.
  • These resistant threads are subjected to many friction causing their premature wear.
  • a woven webbing which comprises in the warp direction two types of parallel threads, namely on the one hand elastic threads and on the other hand resistant threads, consisting of textured organic filaments which, at rest, are in a pleated state . At low elongation, these pleated filaments unfold gradually without opposing resistance. The strap therefore behaves substantially as if it included only elastic threads. When these filaments reach their state of full elongation, they oppose their resistance to further elongation, conditioning the behavior of the strap.
  • it is difficult or impossible to use very strong filaments because they are generally not texturable, and can not be folded, given their stiffness.
  • WO2010 / 146347 a hybrid fiber comprising an elastic yarn, for example made of rubber, and a resistant yarn, having a high modulus of elasticity.
  • the resistant wire At rest, the resistant wire is wound helically around the elastic wire.
  • the resistant yarn When the fiber is subjected to a tensile stress, the resistant yarn is gradually stretched, which has the effect of repelling the elastic yarn.
  • the strong wire When the strong wire is fully stretched, the elastic wire is wound spirally around the strong wire.
  • auxetic Such a fiber is called auxetic because it has the particularity that its diameter increases when a voltage is applied thereto.
  • WO2010 / 146347 underlines the bad behavior of such a fiber, especially when it is in a state of elongation lower than its state of maximum elongation: detachment of the turns of the resistant wire relative to the elastic wire, sliding of the turns of the resistant wire along elastic thread, destructuring of the fiber itself.
  • WO 2010/041002 WO 2006/021763 and US 3,625,809 also describe fibers of this type.
  • the hybrid cable must have a high maximum elongation rate, and good behavior over the entire range of elongation rates.
  • the invention consists of cabling together two son of distant mechanical properties, namely a high elasticity yarn, and a high tenacity yarn, or more generally, a yarn of higher elasticity and a stronger yarn. toughness, this association is that the two son are wrapped around each other and vice versa, depending on whether the cable is at rest or in full elongation.

  • the clean turns winding into opposite direction of the turns of the helix formed by the high-elasticity yarn around the high-tenacity yarn promotes the winding of the high-tenacity yarn around the high-elastic yarn when the hybrid cable returns from its full extension configuration to its rest configuration.
  • the number of clean turns per linear meter of the cable at the maximum elongation rate must be between n sE and 3 xn sE . preferably between n sE and 2 ⁇ n sE.
  • the turns of the helically wound wire closely enclose the wire in position central, preventing any relative sliding of the two wires.
  • the cable is perfectly stable, and has no tendency to twist in one direction or the other.
  • the cable of the invention behaves perfectly both when it undergoes an elongation of rest at the maximum elongation rate, and in the opposite direction, and this repeatedly.
  • the cable tends to twist, or that the turns of the high-tenacity yarn lose contact with the high-elastic yarn in the central position, which entails risks of relative sliding between the two. son.

  • the packer (40) includes a mandrel (41) extending in a longitudinal direction, and an inflatable and tight annular casing (42) threaded around the mandrel (41).
  • the envelope (42) is rigidly connected to the mandrel (41) by unrepresented rings disposed at both longitudinal ends of the envelope.
  • the envelope (42) has an inflatable and waterproof bladder (43) (broken lines on the Figures 10 and 11 ), and a sleeve (44) (continuous lines on the Figures 10 and 11 ) threaded around the bladder (43).
  • the internal volume of the bladder communicates with a source of gas not shown pressure, through passages in the mandrel (41).
  • the envelope (42) is therefore capable of selectively adopting a retracted state around the mandrel (41) ( figure 10 ) and a radially expanded state ( figure 11 ).
  • the sleeve (44) is woven, and thus comprises a plurality of longitudinal warp yarns and a weft yarn interwoven with the warp yarns.
  • the weft yarn is a hybrid cable of the type shown on the figure 9 .
  • the first end portion (31) of the cable is used to weave a first end portion (45) of the sleeve, the second portion (33) to weave a central portion (46) of the sleeve, and the second portion cable end (32) for weaving an end portion (47) of the sleeve.
  • the sleeve (44) is woven by interlacing the warp yarns with the weft yarn, in a manner known per se. This operation is performed using the hybrid cable (200) in an elongation state where the pull wire (18) is stretched.
  • first and second end portions (45, 47) of the sleeve are made with a weft yarn having first and third continuously varying intermediate elongation rates, while the central portion is made with a weft yarn having a second constant intermediate elongation rate, lower than the first and third intermediate elongation rates.
  • the guide wire of the hybrid cable is broken, allowing the hybrid cable to stretch to its maximum elongation rate.
  • the first and second end portions (45, 47) then undergo less radial expansion than the central portion (46). Indeed, the ratio between the intermediate elongation rate and the maximum elongation rate is higher for the central section (33) than for the two end sections (31, 32) of the hybrid cable.
  • the sleeve will therefore adopt a bladder shape, as shown on the figure 11 .
  • the end portions (45, 47) have increasing cross sections when longitudinally followed from the end of the sleeve toward the central section (46).
  • the central section (46) has a substantially constant cross section.
  • the end sections have frustoconical shapes and the central section has a cylindrical shape.
  • the bladder in the expanded state of the envelope, filled the sleeve and has substantially the same shape as this one.
  • the two longitudinal ends of the bladder therefore have no areas where the material constituting the bladder is excessively stretched (warts), which could cause the rupture of the bladder at term.
