Abstract:
A hybrid strand includes a core and outer wires arranged around the core, wherein at least a part of the outer wires is compressed, wherein the compressed outer wires include a flattened cross-sectional shape, the outer wires are composed of steel, and the core is a fiber core. A corresponding production method produces such a hybrid strand.
Abstract:
An improved top down furling system includes one or more improved components. A lower rotary drive unit with a rotary tack swivel rotates against a fixed portion of the furler, or is configured to permit routing of the tack line below the unit. The system may include an anti-torsion cable constructed in a manner so as to be able to transmit torque without excessive tension applied to the cable. The system also may include an end terminal of the anti-torsion cable having a quick side mount or bayonet type connection to the rotary drive unit.
Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide a high strength and light hybrid rope. At the center of the hybrid rope 1, there is arranged a high strength synthetic fiber rope 3 formed by braiding multiple high strength synthetic fiber bundles 30 each composed of multiple high strength synthetic fiber filaments 31. Given that the pitch of braid of the high strength synthetic fiber bundles 30 is represented by “L” and the diameter of the high strength synthetic fiber rope 3 is represented by “d”, the pitch of braid “L” and the diameter “d” are adjusted such that the value L/d is equal to or higher than 6.7.

Abstract:
A tyre for motorcycles includes a carcass structure, a belt structure arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the carcass structure and a tread band arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the belt structure. The belt structure is of the zero degree type and includes at least one reinforcing cord including a core made of non metal material, and a plurality of metal wires substantially parallel to one another and helically wound around the core with a predetermined winding pitch. The metal wires are in such a number as to not completely surround the core. In particular, the metal wires are arranged around the core so that, in any cross-section of the reinforcing cord, they are located at just an angular portion of an ideal circumference that circumscribes the core.

Abstract:
A method for forming a helix rope for a trawl comprising the steps of: a) situating upon a portion of a rope a bead of a substance being selected from a group consisting of: (i) a liquid substance; and (ii) a semi-liquid substance. A helix rope (35) for forming portions of a pelagic trawl, the helix rope comprising a braided sheath (398) formed of greater than sixteen strands (397), whereby drag is reduced. A method for forming a high strength synthetic rope useful for towing warps, trawler warps, yachting ropes, mooring lines, anchoring lines, oil derrick anchoring lines, seismic lines, paravane lines, and any other uses for rope, cable or chain.
Abstract:
Elastic metal/textile composite cord (C-1) having two layers (Ci, Ce) of 1+N construction, formed from a core or inner layer (Ci) comprising a textile core thread (10) of diameter d1 and a metal outer layer (Ce) of N wires (12) of diameter d2 wound together in a helix with a pitch p2 around the layer Ci, said cord being characterized in that it has the following characteristics (p2 in mm): As>1.0%; At>4.0%; Af>6.0%; d1>1.1d2; 4
Abstract:
A rope having an outer jacket made of braided fibers surrounding a PTFE core and a method for making the rope. The rope is useful in high-tension, high-friction applications, such as serving as a stress member in an isolation section of an instrumented ocean-bottom cable. The PTFE core, which may consist of one or more strings of PTFE valve packing material, squeezes through the braided jacket as the rope is deformed in high-stress regions such as around a bollard. The PTFE material squeezed through the outer jacket lubricates the outside of the rope in the high-stress region to lower the friction.
Abstract:
A hybrid layered cable for use in tire reinforcement includes a non-metallic internal layer and an unsaturated external layer including 3-12 strands. Each strand is at least partly metallic and is helically wound around the internal layer. Each strand includes at least 3 filaments wound helically together. The cable has a relative elongation at break, measured in tension in accordance with the standard ISO 6892 of 1984, which is higher than 7%.
Abstract:
A wire cord for reinforcing rubber items, more particularly pneumatic tires for cars and trucks, comprises at least three wire filaments 2 arranged about a continuous core filament 3. The core filament 3 consists of a non-metallic material capable of longitudinal contraction when the rubber item 5 to be reinforced is vulcanized, this material being more particularly non-drawn nylon. On vulcanization of the rubber item 5 to be reinforced the core filament 3 contracts and expands in diameter.
