Aug 22, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/225950

Inventors:

Terry Frank Allen - Barberton OH 44203

International Classification:

B65G 1534

US Classification:

156124, 198847, 198957, 156157, 156502

Abstract:

A method is provided for splicing a conveyor belt having vulcanized rubber with steel strands embedded in the vulcanized rubber, comprising the steps of exposing a plurality of strands at two belt ends, and applying a vulcanizable rubber composition to the exposed strands to form a spliced joint between the two belt ends, the vulcanizable rubber composition comprising 100 parts by weight of rubber, and the rubber comprising from about 1 to about 40 parts by weight of a polyoctenamer.

International Classification:

F16F 500

US Classification:

267 6411, 267122, 524493

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to an airspring having an airsleeve comprising an elastomeric liner; a reinforcing layer overlaying the liner; and a colorable elastomeric cover overlaying the reinforcing layer; the cover comprising: 100 parts by weight of elastomer comprising from about 30 to about 50 parts by weight of natural rubber, from about 10 to about 30 parts by weight of polybutadiene, and from about 30 to about 50 parts by weight of ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM); from about 20 to about 60 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of elastomer, of silica; and from about 1 to about 10 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of elastomer, of an organosilane polysulfide.

Filed:

Aug 11, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/231288

Inventors:

Terry F. Allen - Barberton OH
Robert C. Schisler - Akron OH

Assignee:

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company - Akron OH

International Classification:

C08C 1926
C08C 1922

US Classification:

525337

Abstract:

There is disclosed an improved method for open steam curing of mineral-loaded elastomers. It has been discovered that use of a vulcanization agent comprising a mixture of an alkyl phenol disulfide and a guanidine compound provides a synergistic curing system that is superior over the use of either component alone. The improved curing system of the present invention is particularly suited for the open steam curing of mineral-loaded chlorobutyl compounds. The cure system may be used in addition to zinc oxide and results in excellent states of cure as determined by tensile elongation and hardness measurements.
