Abstract:
A composite fishing line comprising a core and braided jacket the core being made of material which will break under a predetermined tensile loading of the line, said braided jacket being made of a different material which does not break under said predetermined tensile loading and having a braid tightness which permits reoccurrent breaks in the core under the reoccurrence of said tensile loading without affecting the utilization of the line.
Abstract:
An integrated string primarily for use in connection with athletic rackets, such as tennis, badminton, squash and the like, but also usable for fishing line, musical strings, etc., said string in one embodiment comprising a thermoplastic core having a thermoplastic sheath covering same and integrated thereto, said core material and said sheath comprising strands therein having substantially different melting points, and in a second embodiment said string consisting of a braided sheath, with no inner core, said sheath comprising thermoplastic strands having substantially different melting points.
Abstract:
A high-strength parallel yarn rope comprises a series of multifilament rope yarns which are bounded together in parallel relation along their lengths by a binder distributed only on the surfaces of the yarns to form a flexible rope core. The core is surrounded by a braided jacket, and a flexible layer of waterimpervious material adhesively and mechanically bonds the core to the jacket. A method is also disclosed for manufacturing the rope.
Abstract:
A flexible floatable cord for use in fishing nets, trawls, water skiing and the like, which comprises a braided sleeve, a core of continuous filament threads incorporated therein and particles of an expanded plastic material disposed between said sleeve and said core, said particles being only attached to one another and to the sleeve and the core and forming a continuous cord in which the core is embedded. Further a process and an apparatus for producing said flexible floatable cord.
