Abstract:
An elevator load bearing assembly (20) includes a plurality of cords (22) within a jacket (24). The jacket has a plurality of grooves (32, 34, 36, 38 40) spaced along the length of the belt assembly. Each groove has a plurality of portions (50, 52, 54, 56) aligned at an oblique angle (A, B) relative to a longitudinal axis (48) of the belt (20). In one example, the grooves are separated such that there is no longitudinal overlap between adjacent grooves. In another example, transitions (60, 64) between the obliquely aligned portions are at different longitudinal positions on the belt. Another example includes a combination of the different longitudinal positions and the non-overlapping groove placement.
Abstract:
An exemplary assembly includes at least one elongated tension member (32). A jacket covers at least some of the tension member (32). The jacket comprises a polymer material (64, 68) including a friction stabilizer (62) that facilitates maintaining a desired friction characteristic of at least an exterior surface on the jacket.
Abstract:
An elevator support for an elevator system includes a base body, a drive side with at least one drive rib, a deflecting side opposite the drive side with at least one guide rib, and a tensile carrier arrangement arranged in the base body. The guide rib has a greater flank height and/or a greater flank width than the drive rib. A ratio of the flank height of the guide rib to the width of the elevator support is at least 0.4. A respective guide rib is associated with at most three of the drive ribs.
Abstract:
An elevator installation includes an elevator car, a drive and a belt arrangement with at least one belt, wherein the belt has a belt body in which a tensile carrier arrangement is arranged and which has a first contact surface on a first cross-sectional side in the direction of the height of the belt and a second contact surface on a second cross-sectional side opposite the first cross-sectional side in the direction of the height of the belt. The ratio of the maximum width to the maximum height of the belt is in a range of 0.8 to 1.0, preferably in the range of 0.9 to 1.0 and particularly at 1.0.
Abstract:
A lift installation according to the invention comprises a drive unit (2) which by way of a drive wheel (4.1) drives at least one lift support means (12) supporting a lift cage (3), wherein the lift support means has on a traction side facing the drive wheel (4.1) a rib arrangement with at least two ribs (13) which extend in longitudinal direction of the lift support means and which engage in corresponding grooves on the drive wheel, wherein the rib arrangement comprises a tensile carrier arrangement with at least one tensile carrier (14) arranged in a rib. The lift support means has on a belt back side remote from the traction side a carrier band (15) to which the ribs of the rib arrangement are fastened. A groove (16) reaching substantially as far as the carrier band is formed between two adjacent ribs (13) of the rib arrangement.
Abstract:
A reinforcement for a building works structure comprising an assembly of solid wires. The wires are mutually parallel to form a bundle and the reinforcement comprises a sheath made of plastic material enclosing the bundle and providing it with cohesion.
Abstract:
An overhead cable provided with a plurality of segment strands of a sector-shaped cross-section twisted at the outermost layer and having grooves of a substantially arc-shaped cross-section at the surface at the adjoining portions of the segment strands. Also, a low sag, low wind load cable provided with tension-bearing cores comprised of strands having a linear expansion coefficient of -6.times.10.sup.-6 to 6.times.10.sup.-6 /.degree.C. and an elastic modulus of 100 to 600 PGa and with a plurality of sector-shaped cross-section segment strands twisted around the outermost circumference of the cable including the tension-bearing cores comprised of a super-high-heat resisting aluminum alloy or extra-high heat resisting aluminum alloy, grooves of a substantially arc-shaped cross-section being provided at the surface at adjoining portions of the twisted segment strands. This enables the wind load to be reduced. Further, a low wind load cable can be easily fabricated at a low cost. In addition, by using invar strands for the cores and using segment strands of a super-high heat resisting aluminum alloy or extra-high heat resisting aluminum alloy at the outermost layer, the sag at high temperatures can be greatly suppressed. Accordingly, even the amount of the sideways swinging caused when the overhead cable is struck by a strong wind from the lateral direction can be greatly suppressed together with the low wind load construction.
Abstract:
A driving rope for use with the printing head carriage of a word processor, a plotter or other compact equipment. The driving rope generally comprises a core rope and a thread formation of resin disposed thereon. Unlike a conventional timing belt, this driving rope is deformable for easy routing and yet assures a positive and accurate shift of the carriage.
Abstract:
A rope has a braided sheath that includes a spiraling strand having a greater pitch in comparison with a pitch exhibited by other strands of a coverbraid that encloses that rope's strength member core. The rope is useful for forming pelagic trawl mesh, and is stronger for a given amount of material, has less drag, and exhibits the same or bettered lift when towed through water at trawl mesh angles of attack. The rope also is less costly to manufacture in comparison to known helix rope constructions.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a rope made of a textile fibre material for applications in which a diagonal pull may occur, characterized in that the rope is a core/sheath rope the core (1) of which and the sheath of which are composed essentially of a textile fibre material the core (1) of which is stranded and which exhibits a force-fitting winding with a tensile element (2, 2′, 2″) between the core (1) and the sheath.
