Abstract:
Synthetic fiber rope for a crane, include a central strand having an inner core made of a synthetic resin and an inner cover made of synthetic fibers and connected to the inner core via braiding, a plurality of outer strands each of which includes an outer core made of a synthetic resin and an outer cover made of synthetic fibers and connected to the outer core via twisting and which are connected to the outer surface of the central strand via braiding, and a jacket made of synthetic fibers and braided to cover the surface of the plurality of outer strands. Method of manufacturing a synthetic fiber rope is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing a high strength synthetic strength member (7) containing rope (1) capable of being used with powered blocks where such rope has lighter weight and similar or greater strength than steel wire strength member containing ropes used with powered blocks. Disclosed also is the product resulting from such method. The product includes a synthetic strength member, a first synthetic portion (9) and a second synthetic portion. The first synthetic portion is enclosed within the strength member and the second synthetic portion is situated external the strength member. At least a portion of the second synthetic portion also is situated internal a sheath (8) formed about the strength member. The second synthetic portion has a minimal of 8% at a temperature of between negative 20 and negative 15° C.
Abstract:
An arborist's climbing rope in which an eye splice having a splice tuck can be formed at one end includes in one embodiment a core of polypropylene, a first braided tubular sheath of nylon disposed about the core and a second braided tubular sheath of a polyester disposed about the first braided tubular sheath, the cross-sectional diameter of the fiber material of the core area being in the range of 1 to 10% of the total cross-sectional diameter of the arborist's climbing rope. In forming the eye splice a portion of the core is intentionally removed near the eye splice to form a space within the first tubular sheath where the core has been removed and the splice tuck is buried in and substantially completely fills the space within the first tubular sheath where the core has been intentionally removed.
Abstract:
The present invention provides, in some embodiments, a medical securement device such as sutures, yarns, meshes, filaments, tapes, knits, and composite braids made from fiber materials like UHMWPE which are coated in whole or in part with a colored coating solution. This invention provides surgeons with improved recognition of suture ends in surgery by construction of sutures with ends having different colors. Additionally, the invention provides surgeons with a means for color coding or marking of medical devices for proper recognition of various devices used in surgery for particular tasks and surgical procedures.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of accomplishment of a hybrid cord comprising an inner layer (1) in steel cord, an intermediate layer (2) in a high module and high toughness fibre and an outer layer (3) in a Polyolefin fibre. The present invention also refers to its application in an 8 (4×2) cords braided hybrid cable or any other type of hybrid cable presenting another construction, in braided or twisted cables.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a braided chemical fibre cable in which at least one electric conductor is contained, in which the cable is thermally stretched together with the conductor contained therein.
Abstract:
A fiber cable for helicopter rescue winches includes a plurality of load-bearing synthetic-fiber strands braided with one another, at least one electrically conductive insert, and a wear indicator providing a visual check of a state of the fiber cable, where the load-bearing synthetic-fiber strands are encased in a radial direction by a friction-reducing stable fiber layer, an inner cable jacket, and outer cable jacket.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a rope made of a textile fibre material and present in the form of a core-sheath structure in a manner known per se. The rope according to the invention is characterized in that the specific strength of the rope Fs (in [daN/g core/m rope]) complies with the following formula depending on the diameter of the rope DM (in [mm]): Fs>212−DM.
Abstract:
A fast rope, which includes a weighted core, a first braid surrounding the core, a second braid surrounding the first braid, and a third braid surrounding the second braid. The core is constructed from lead wires extruded over a polyester yam, the first braid is strands of polypropylene, the second braid is strands of composite press material, and the third braid is strands of polyester multiplex.
Abstract:
A dynamic stabilization system for stabilizing a vertebral segment of a spine. The system includes a first vertebral anchor, a second vertebral anchor and a cord. The system may also include a spacer positioned between the first and second vertebral anchor through which the cord extends. The first vertebral anchor is configured to be secured to a first vertebra and the second vertebral anchor is configured to be secured to a second vertebra. The cord is extendable from the first vertebral anchor to the second vertebral anchor. The cord has a variable stiffness through a range of displacement, wherein the stiffness of the cord increases as an applied tensile force on the cord is increased.
