Abstract

La présente invention concerne un cordon métallique annulaire présentant une grande résistance à la rupture et pouvant être fabriqué facilement, une courroie métallique sans fin et un procédé de fabrication d'un cordon métallique annulaire. Le cordon métallique annulaire (C1) est formé par une section de noyau annulaire (3) et une section de couche externe (4) multipliée de manière hélicoïdale et enveloppée autour de la section de noyau annulaire (3) et recouvrant la périphérie externe de la section de noyau annulaire (3). La section de noyau annulaire (3) est formée dans une forme annulaire par des premier et second éléments de torons (1, 2) formés en réalisant une torsion sur plusieurs fils métalliques (5, 6). Un matériau adhésif en vue d'un revêtement est appliqué et solidifié autour du cordon métallique annulaire (C1) pour recouvrir sa périphérie par un revêtement de couche externe (10) formé à partir du matériau de revêtement élastique.
