Disclosed is a needle-pass paper cord (200) made of paper. The paper cord is formed by means of weaving yarn (201) made of paper, and the yarn has a cross-section that is similar to a circle formed of a thread folded to a point.

The invention relates to a rubberized reinforcing ply (1) for articles consisting of an elastomeric material, preferably for vehicle tires, wherein the reinforcing ply (1) has a multiplicity of textile strengthening members (2) which are arranged parallel to and spaced apart from one another, wherein each textile strengthening member (2) is composed of at least one twisted multifilament yarn composed of the material viscose. The reinforcing ply (1) satisfies the following condition: (D.sup.2/E.sub.0) in mm corresponds to a value in a range from 0.30 mm to 0.45 mm, and the reinforcing ply (1) has a strength of 11 kN/dm<x<20 kN/dm, where D is the diameter of the textile strengthening member (2) in mm and lies in a range from 0.38 mm to 0.48 mm, and where E.sub.0=100/epdm.

The invention provides a use of a rope as a combustible material in a heating system, said rope comprising or consisting of fibrous plant material. The invention also provides a method of operating a heating system, comprising feeding a combustible material to a combustion chamber of the heating system, said combustible material being a rope of fibrous plant material.

A rope having a core for providing strength to the rope, where at least a metal or composite woven or warp knitted fabric having multiple substantially parallel elongated metal elements is provided around the core for protecting said core from impact and cutting, and where the multiple substantially parallel elongated elements are in the warp direction and held by yarns.

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.

An article containing an innerduct structure and a woven rope located within the innerduct structure. The woven rope an inner portion comprising a plurality of multifilament fibers in the length direction of the woven rope and a jacket portion covering the inner portion. The jacket portion contains a plurality of monofilament fibers in the length direction of the woven rope and at least one multifilament fiber in the circumferential direction interwoven with the monofilament fibers in the length direction of the jacket portion. The monofilament fibers of the jacket portion form the majority of the outer surface of the woven rope.

A combined harness and leash device is disclosed. The device may comprise a one-piece buckleless pet harness, constructed from braided rope or other suitable material. Useful materials of construction may include natural or synthetic fibers and may include recycled fibers. The harness may consist of one continuous loop to prevent choking or strangulation. A slip assembly is used to create two adjustable loops that fit around a pet's front legs and wrap back through the slip assembly to form a leash or lead. When applying the harness, pet owners may enlarge one loop at a time in order to slip the pet's forelegs into place. Further, the harness may be ornamented with decorative gems, rhinestones, and other design elements for an enhanced look. The harness is offered in assorted colors as needed, as well as various sizes to suit different dog breeds.
