A high-strength fibre rope (1) comprising a rope core as well as a sheathing indicating optical wear, wherein the sheathing comprises a sheath layer (2) made up of textile subunits (3, 4) of a first hierarchy level. An outermost sheath layer (2) is provided, wherein textile subunits (3, 4) of said outermost sheath layer of the first hierarchy level differ from each other in terms of their textile structure, and/or an outermost sheath layer and a further sheath layer underneath said outermost sheath layer are provided, and wherein the textile subunits of the first hierarchy level of said outermost sheath layer differ in their textile structure from that of said further sheath layer. The textile subunits of a lowermost hierarchy level of the rope are neither dispersed in a resin matrix in the outermost sheath layer nor in the further sheath layer arranged underneath the outermost sheath layer.

The structural cable of a construction work comprises a bundle of load-bearing tendons, a sheath within which the bundle of tendons is located, and at least one vibration module received within the sheath and configured to generate vibrations to break superficial ice or frost deposits on the cable.

An exercise rope is disclosed. The exercise rope includes a weighted core. It further includes a first braided layer surrounding the weighted core, the first braided layer having yarns of a first ply. It further includes a second braided layer surrounding the first braided layer, the second braided layer having yarns of a second ply, the second ply being higher than the first ply. It further includes a third braided layer surrounding the second braided layer, the third braided layer having yarns of a third ply, the third ply being higher than the second ply. The second braided layer is coated with an adhesive.

A steel cord for the reinforcement of elastomer products such as elevator belts, conveyor belts, synchronous or timing belts or hoses or tyres is presented. The steel cord comprises strands and monofilaments made of steel filaments. The strands themselves are also made of steel filaments twisted together. The strands form the outer layer of the steel cord. The monofilaments are twisted into the cord with the same lay length and direction as the strands and are positioned in the valleys between the strands on the radial outer side of the steel cord. The steel cord has the advantage that it has a better fill factor and a rounder aspect. Furthermore the monofilaments may act as an early wear indicator of the elastomer product.

A structural cable of a construction work. The structural cable including a bundle of load-bearing tendons, a sheath within which the bundle of tendons is located, a housing located within the sheath and fixed relative to the sheath, said housing defining a cavity, the bundle of tendons being at a distance from the housing and the cavity, the bundle of tendons being located outside the housing and the cavity, said cavity extending longitudinally relative to the sheath.

A light-emitting warning rope is provided with one end connected to a tent and other end connected to an anchoring point. The light-emitting warning rope is disposed between the anchoring point and the tent to provide a tension to set the tent upright. The rope comprises a light-emitting core and a structural rope. The structural rope comprises a plurality of bearing yarns which is knitted into a strip body with the light-emitting core as an axis, and the strip body knitted by each bearing yarn is knitted in a mesh shape on the radial side and has a plurality of gaps through which light from the light-emitting core is transmitted. In any segment of the rope, the light-emitting core has a stretching length less than that of each bearing yarn, so that the axial tension acts substantially on the bearing yarns when the rope suffers an axial tension.

The invention relates to an elongate tensioning unit comprising a casing which encloses an interior space, and a plurality of tensioning elements which extend in the longitudinal direction of the tensioning unit and are accommodated in the interior space of the casing. According to the invention, the casing comprises, at, at least one circumferential position, a depression which projects into the interior space and in which at least one electric functional unit, for example at least one lighting unit, and at least one connection line for the at least one electric functional unit are accommodated. Alternatively, the at least one electric functional unit can also be accommodated in an associated recess in a water-repelling element arranged on the outer surface of the casing.

Rope having an eye. The rope comprises a first rope portion and a second rope portion. The first rope portion and the second rope portion are spliced into each other for forming a spliced connection for obtaining the eye. The first rope portion and the second rope portion are formed from an end portion of the rope.

A winch line includes a length of synthetic rope having a connector end and a terminal end. An eye is formed by a splice at the connector end of the synthetic rope. An elastomeric coating encapsulates the eye. An elastomer mass is formed over and encapsulates a base portion of the eye and a portion of the splice. The winch line has a number of intermediate sections of consistent length along the length of the synthetic rope extending between the elastomer mass and the terminal end. A number of demarcations reside on a surface of the synthetic rope indicating a boundary between the intermediate sections.
