The swing rope may be used to transport crew members of an offshore rig to or from a waiting boat. A second embodiment relates to a non-slip surface applied to a rescue sling.
Abstract:
In the method according to the invention in the manufacture of an elevator the following procedures are performed, -a movable supporting platform (4) and an elevator car (2), and possibly a counterweight (CW), are installed in the elevator hoistway (1), -the rope installation is performed, in which the elevator is reeved to comprise construction-time hoisting roping (3,3'), and the hoisting roping (3,3') is arranged to support the elevator car (2) resting on the supporting platform (4) supported in its position above the elevator car (2), -the elevator car (2) is taken into use to serve passengers and/or to transport goods, -the elevator car (2) is removed from the aforementioned use, - the service range of the elevator car is changed to reach higher up in the elevator hoistway (1) by lifting the supporting platform higher up in the elevator hoistway with hoisting means (22,30), -the elevator car (2) is taken back into the aforementioned use. In the aforementioned rope installation the elevator is reeved to comprise construction-time hoisting roping (3,3')/ which comprises one or more ropes, the longitudinal power transmission capacity of which is based at least essentially on non-metallic fibers in the longitudinal direction of the rope. In the method guide rails (G) to be fixed with guide rail brackets (b) can additionally be installed by the aid of installation means (8,9). The invention also relates to an elevator arrangement, with which the aforementioned method can be performed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a combined cable having a core cable made of high-strength plastic fibers present as a twisted monofilament bundle or a plurality of twisted monofilament bundles, and having an external layer of steel wire strands, characterized in that the monofilament bundle or bundles is or are stretched to reduce the diameter and held in a cladding, particularly braided cladding, in this state. The strain of the core cable under load is thus reduced, so that the load distribution between the steel cross-section and the plastic cross-section of the cable is improved. In the same sense, in reverse, in order to have the strain behavior of the strand layer approach that of the core cable, the cable has an intermediate layer made of an elastic plastic, in which the steel wire strands are pressed at a distance from each other, such that the external layer stretches under load and contracts radially.
Abstract:
One aspect of this invention concerns a multi-strand steel wire rope (28, 32, 36, 46, 50) comprising multiple strands (3, 10, 38) laid up helically on a core (30, 34, ), characterised in that at least some of the strands are deep strands (10, 38), i.e. strands with a heightwidth ratio greater than unity. Another aspect of the invention concerns the deep strand (10, 38) itself.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a rope, and preferably a mooring rope. The rope comprises a core (2) of man-made fibres, a braided jacket (4) covering the core (2) and a particle barrier (5) between the core (2) and the braided jacket (4) . The particle barrier (5) comprises two layers (6) of filter material arranged onto the core (2) in such a way that the second layer (6b) is covering the firs layer (6a) .
Abstract:
The invention relates to a flexible traction organ (38) that can be wound and unwound, in particular for passenger and/or goods lifts, said organ comprising at least one stranded cable (16) consisting of a tensile resistant material. The core strand (124) of each stranded cable (16) is surrounded by a flexible thermoplastic plastic layer (126). A production line (10) for embedding several stranded cables (16) in a flexible thermoplastic plastic (39) comprises a respective reel (14) for unwinding the stranded cable (16), a device (24) for accurately aligning the stranded cable (16), a heating element (26, 28, 30) for pre-heating the stranded cable (16), at least one extruder (32) for co-extruding the stranded cable (16) in a flexible plastic sheathing, a cooling vat (42), a reel storage unit (52), a cutting unit (66) and a reserve reel (18). The extruder (32), a wire guide (74) and at least one die (76) can be adjusted individually, conjointly and in relation to one another on a plane (P) that runs at an angle to the cable plane (E). The unwound stranded cables (16) are degreased and/or pre-treated to improve the adhesion of the plastic sheathing, are pre-heated to a temperature of approximately +/- 20 DEG C in relation to the melting temperature of the flexible, thermoplastic plastic that surrounds the core strand (124) and are sheathed with liquefied plastic (86) in the extruder (32).
Abstract:
A steel cord for a rubber track main cord, where core filaments of a core strand is restricted from coming out of a rubber member. This is achieved by causing rubber to penetrate to core filament surfaces of the core strand without reducing a cord breaking load. A core strand (22) of a steel cord (10) is constituted of one core filament (22C) and five sheath filaments (22S) twisted around the core filament (22). Six sheath strands (26) are twisted around the core strand (22). A rubber member is highly penetratable into the core filament (22C) because sufficiently wide gaps are held between the sheath filaments (22S). The structure above realizes the steel cord (10) where the core filament (22C) is restricted from coming out.
Abstract:
La présente invention concerne des câbles hybrides à couches dont certains sont utilisables pour renforcer au moins une nappe sommet de protection de pneumatiques poids-lourd ou génie civil, et d'autres pour renforcer des bourrelets de pneumatique pour véhicules légers à moteur, tels que des motocyclettes. L'invention concerne également un tissu composite utilisable comme nappe de sommet de protection de tels pneumatiques poids-lourd ou génie civil, une tringle destinée à renforcer ces bourrelets de pneumatique et les pneumatiques précités. Un câble hybride à couches (C) selon l'invention comporte une couche interne (C i ) non métallique et une couche externe (C e ) insaturée comportant des torons (T) qui sont chacun au moins en partie métalliques et qui sont enroulés en hélice sur ladite couche interne, et ce câble présente un allongement relatif à la rupture At, mesuré en traction selon la norme ISO 6892 de 1984, qui est supérieur à 7 %. Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, cette couche interne est constituée d'au moins un matériau présentant un allongement relatif à la rupture Ar à 20° C qui est supérieur à 6 %.
