Abstract:
An exemplary elongated elevator load bearing member includes a plurality of tension elements that extend along a length of the load bearing member. A plurality of weave fibers transverse to the tension elements are woven with the tension elements such that the weave fibers maintain a desired spacing and alignment of the tension elements relative to each other. The weave fibers at least partially cover the tension elements. The weave fibers are exposed and establish an exterior, traction surface of the load bearing member.
Abstract:
A cable contains filaments containing carbon, surrounded by a sizing. The filaments surrounded by the sizing are covered by a matrix which is composed of a material containing at least one elastomer and/or at least one thermoplastic elastomer. The cable can be used, in particular for pulling a load, for example in a goods lift.
Abstract:
A method and device for handling an elongate strength member. In the method, an elongate strength member with a plurality of elongate composite rods, or metal wires or plastic fibers are bundled together with the composite rods, or metal wires, or plastic fibers in a generally parallel and untwisted and un-spiraled arrangement when the elongate strength member is extended along a generally straight path, wherein the composite rods are longitudinally and rotatably moveable relative to each other. It is then twisted relative to a longitudinal dimension of the elongate strength member and the path of the elongate strength member is curved, such as by coiling.
Abstract:
A safety elastic rope includes an elastic outer tubular rope having two longitudinally opposite first fixing ends, and an elastic inner rope inserted into the outer tubular rope and having two longitudinally opposite second fixing ends. The inner rope is more elastic than the outer tubular rope, and has substantially the same length as the outer tubular rope. The second fixing ends are connected respectively to the first fixing ends.
Abstract:
Umbilical device, where the device has a longitudinal axis (x), and includes at least one elongated electrical cable or tube element; and an elongated load bearing component along the longitudinal axis (x) and having an external surface including at least one groove disposed along the longitudinal axis (x) and parallel thereof. The component includes a central core encompassed by a plastic or elastic layer, which is provided with the at least one groove, where the groove is designed for holding the cable or tube element within it, while allowing the cable or tube element to move substantially radially in the groove when the umbilical is bent and that the layer is made from several plastic or elastic elements.

Abstract:
The instant invention is a rope. This rope includes a blend of filaments including a first filament, and a second filament. The second filament is fluorocarbon polymer filament.
Abstract:
Tensioning bundle includes tensioning members running parallel to one another such as stranded wires or single wires. According to the invention the tensioning bundle as a whole is covered with at least one synthetic resin in an extruder. For tensioning such bundles the tensioning members may be tensioned individually or jointly.
