It refers to the invention of a 6-strand synthetic twisted lariat rope, a product used in Team Roping competitions. It is also used in cattle handling, when it is necessary to immobilize an animal, preserving its sanity and physical integrity, avoiding injuries, friction burns due to impact and/or traction. It is a dynamic, elastic, anti-static rope where the harmful effect of the impact of a sudden stop is practically nil, which follows all the requirements of the Federal Law 10.591/02. First and foremost, the animal welfare is taken into account in Team Roping competitions. The evolution of Team Roping competitions is under constant improvement in Brazil and in the world, to which the present invention brings several benefits.

The present invention relates to a mooring rope for use in subsea mooring, or a substantially synthetic rope thereof, said synthetic rope including a rope core and a layered shell arranged around the rope core, said the shell having a braided outer shell layer. The shell includes sub-surface buoyancy elements, suitable for use in a subsea environment, extending in radial direction between the rope core and the outer shell.

A cord reinforces a rubber article. The cord includes a core strand having a two-layer twisted layer structure formed by intertwining a plurality of filaments, a plurality sheath strands intertwined around the core strand, the sheath strands having a twisted layer structure formed by intertwining a plurality of filaments, and a wrap wire applied around the core strand and at least one of the sheath strands. The wrap wire creating a permanent and stable minimum gap between the core strand and the sheath strands.

A load bearing member for a lifting and/or hoisting system includes a plurality of tension members arranged along a width of the load bearing member. Each tension member includes a plurality of load carrying fibers arranged to extend in a direction parallel to a length of the load bearing member and a matrix material in which the plurality of load carrying fibers are arranged. The load bearing member further includes a lateral layer and a jacket material at least partially encapsulating the plurality of tension members.
