Abstract:
A rope and a method of constructing the rope. The rope may be of 12×12 braided construction and include a core for its length. The rope includes a plurality of primary strands, and each of the primary strands includes a plurality of fibers which may be made of a high-friction material. The rope also includes a secondary strand surrounded by the plurality of primary strands. The secondary strand includes a plurality of fibers which may be made of a low-friction material.
Abstract:
Das Sicherheits-Bergseil (1) weist einen aus mehreren Kernseilen (2) bestehenden Seilkern auf. Zur Verbesserung der Reissfestigkeit dieses Seils (1) umschliesst der Seilkern schlauchartig mindestens einen über die gesamte Länge des Seiles (1) sich erstreckenden Hohlraum (3). Der letztere ist dabei mittels mindestens eines mindestens in radialer Richtung des Seiles (1) gesehen gummielastischen Füllmaterials oder -körpers ausgefüllt, welcher z.B. beim Ziehen des Seils (1) über eine Kante und unter starker Zugkraft eine beachtliche momentane Abplattung des Seilquerschnitts beim Ziehen über die Kante und damit eine erheblich breitere Abstützung dieses Seils (1) an einer solchen Kante bewirkt.
Abstract:
A belt used as a rope which as a strength higher than that of a rope of the same mass and a substantially circular cross section, and which is provided at both sides thereof with belt portions. This belt consists of a narrow woven material (10) composed of warp and weft yarn (6, 7) of synthetic fiber filaments, and has a belt body (2) extending in the lengthwise direction of the belt, a belt portion (4), and a joint portion (3) for connecting the belt body (2) and belt portion (4) together. The belt body (2) is formed by weaving core strings (5) into a hollow weave texture, and the warp yarn density factor of a hollow weave member (22) is set to not more than 0.700. The belt portion (4) has a woven structure in which the warp yarn (6) in the hollow weave member of the belt body (2) and a part or the whole of the core strings (5) in the belt body (2) are interlaced with the weft yarn. The belt portion has a width W not less than 2.0 times as large as that W of the belt body (2). The joint portion (3) is formed so that it transmutes to a woven structure of the belt body (2) or that of the belt portion (4) in a plurality of steps with its weaving width gradually decreasing or increasing.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un "bas de ligne" tressé pour la pêche, qui, outre les filaments en Nylon ou autre matériau similaire employés incorpore des filaments micrométriques de nature métallique pour en augmenter la densité. Les filaments métalliques sont tressés ou torsadés avec d'autres en Nylon préalablement à l'alimentation de la machine à tresser et participent avec des autres filaments en monofil Nylon à la configuration d'une tresse creuse et conique pour obtenir un "bas de ligne" s'enfonçant dans l'eau. Le nombre de fils composés métal-Nylon peut varier selon les besoins de densité requises pour le bas de ligne.
Abstract:
A mooring member comprises a rope (1) configured for extending between a vessel (9) floating in a body of water (W) and an anchoring device (10). The mooring member comprises a plurality of functional elements (4), wherein a first functional element (4) is wound onto at least a portion of the rope (1), a second functional element (42) is wound onto the first functional element (4), and so on, until the outermost functional element (4) is wound onto the second-to-outermost functional element (44). The functional elements are wound in a helical configuration, and comprise one or more of the means in the group comprising: damage protection means, buoyancy means, optical detection means, sonar detection means, stiffness control means, anti-fouling means.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a tow warp construction and a process for forming such tow warp construction where such tow warp construction has a longer life span, that is retains its useful dimensions and characteristics longer than known tow warp constructions and consequently has a longer useful life span than known tow warp constructions. Most broadly the construction of the tow warp construction of the present disclosure and process for forming such includes gradually and progressively introducing fibers from a second group of fibers (or "second group of linear elements") into an otherwise conventional stranding process where fibers from a first group of fibers (or "first group of linear elements") are being stranded to form strands (or "third group of linear elements"), so as to either or both increase the diameter of the strands and/or substitute the first group of fibers by fibers from the second group of fibers, so as to: a) in the first instance, increase the diameter of the formed strands and subsequently of a strength member formed of the strands, especially for increasing the diameter and strength of the tow warp's strength member in and about the splice braid zone where it connects to a towed object such as a paravane; and b) in the second instance, substitute in a predetermined region on the long dimension of the strands and subsequently in a predetermined region on a long dimension of a strength member formed of the strands fibers of higher creep and/or lower melting points by fibers of lower creep and/or higher melting points, especially for increasing the resistance of the tow warps strength member to bending fatigue.
