A net is formed by joining cables which are over-knitted with cord. A cable may be made of wire or stainless-steel cable. A composite cable is a cable that is over-knitted with cord to form a composite cable. The cord may be made of fibrous material and in some embodiments is made of aramid fibers. Adjacent composite cables are joined at regular intervals to form a net. In some embodiments, composite cables are composed of cable with an over-knitted cord, inter-knitted at junctions that are spaced at regular intervals to form a net. The individual cables are over-knitted with cord and the junctions are formed as the over-knitted cords are inter-knitted.

The disclosure provides embodiments of an environmentally friendly fishing line that includes renewable natural fibers, and in some embodiments the disclosed fishing line optionally includes an environmentally friendly renewable natural coating. Some of the embodiments of the disclosed fishing line include, for example, a single strand line, or a braided or plaited line made from multiple threads, strands or yarns. Other embodiments of the disclosed fishing line are degradable over a predetermined timeline. These embodiments are preferred because of the low environmental impact of the disclosed fishing lines when compared to, for example, well known synthetic polymer fishing lines.

The invention is directed to a synthetic hoisting rope comprising a solid core surrounded by a first braided layer of a first set of strands that is surrounded by a second braided layer of a second set of strands.

The invention relates to a chain comprising a plurality of interconnected chain-links wherein at least one chain-link comprises a braided core comprising a first primary strand comprising polymeric elongated elements wherein the polymeric elongated element has a tenacity of at least 1.0 N/tex wherein the braided core is braided from at least 2 consecutive turns of the primary strand. The invention also relates to a braided endless shaped element suitable as chain-link for said chain. The invention further relates to a chain wherein the chain has a tenacity (Ten) in N/Tex and a combined titer of the 2 legs of the chain-link comprising polymeric elongated elements (T) in MTex, with Ten0.50*T.sup.0.05.

A braided structure that includes a core and a sheath is provided. The core includes a yarn formed at least in part from an aromatic polymer (e.g., an aromatic polyester/liquid crystalline polymer or an aramid polymer), and the sheath, which includes a plurality of ultra high molecular weight polyolefin yarns, is braided around the core. The sheath has an overall diameter ranging from about 60 micrometers to about 650 micrometers. Despite its small diameter, the braided structure can be creep resistant and abrasion resistant while at the same time exhibiting low elongation, a high load at break, and high stiffness. The braided structure can be used in medical applications such as sutures, load bearing orthopedic applications, artificial tendons/ligaments, fixation devices, actuation cables, components for tissue repair, etc.

Cable lay braid having a plurality of intertwined twists, wherein each twist is laid from a plurality of twisted strands, characterized in that each strand is formed from a plurality of twisted yarns or twines.

A cord comprises a braided sheath of strands having an outer surface, an inner surface, and a central hollow portion defined by the inner surface and having a volume and a core within the central hollow portion of the tubular braided sheath, such that when the cord is in a relaxed state the tubular braided sheath has a cylindrical shape and a relaxed volume of the central hollow portion wherein the core does not fill the relaxed volume of the central hollow portion of the tubular braided sheath; when the cord is in a longitudinal tensioned state, the tubular braided sheath elongates under the longitudinal tension such that a tensioned volume of at least a part of the central hollow portion of the tubular braided sheath is less than the relaxed volume; and the inner surface of the tubular braided sheath of tensioned volume contacts and cinches a surface of the core.

An adjustable sports rope comprised of a hollow base rope sheath and an adjustment rope. The hollow base rope sheath is a hollow sheath with at least two openings. The adjustment rope enters into the hollow base rope sheath through one of the at least two openings and exits the base rope sheath through another of the at least two openings. The one end of the hollow base rope sheath terminates at a tie point. The end of the adjustment rope disposed furthest from the hollow base rope sheath tie point is also a tie point. By creating a tensile force between the tie point of the hollow base rope sheath and the tie point of the adjustment rope, the hollow base rope sheath will tighten on the adjustment rope, holding the adjustment rope in place.

The present invention provides a braiding machine and a braiding method of a seamless wound braided rope. The braiding machine of the seamless wound braided rope has simple structure, good stability and high yield; and colors of an inner core and an outer skin of the braided rope braided by the braiding machine are different, as an early-warning effect.

The present invention provides a braiding machine and a braiding method of a seamless wound yarn rope. The braiding machine of the seamless wound yarn rope comprises a machine frame, a gallop knitting tray, a plurality of gallop knitting ingots and a rope belt braiding mechanism. The braiding machine of the seamless wound yarn rope has simple structure, good stability and high yield.
