An assembly and method for using a flexible tensile member as part of the rigging for a heavy machine such as those used in the mining industry. The inventive tensile member includes a core surrounded by a separate armor layer. The armor layer assumes various forms, including a hollow cylinder having a substantial wall thickness. The core produces excellent strength in tension (and with a substantial reduction in weight). The armor layer protects the core from external blows and forces produced by the weight of the other parts of the machine's rigging and the hostile environment in which the machine operates.

An elevator assembly includes an elevator cabin, a counterweight, a compensating cable and a means for suspending the compensating cable from the elevator cabin. The compensating cable includes a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is coupled with the elevator cabin and the distal end is coupled with the counterweight. The means for suspending the compensating cable is coupled with the elevator cabin and is further coupled with the compensating cable adjacent the proximal end of the compensating cable. The compensating cable has an elastic deformation limit. The means for suspending the compensating cable has a tensile strength that is less than the elastic deformation limit of the compensating cable.

Provided is an elastomer reinforcement cord in which the problem of stress concentration at an interface between an elastomer and a metal cord is solved and the durability is thereby improved. The elastomer reinforcement cord includes metal filaments (1a) and (1b), and a polymer material (3) having a melting point or softening point of 80 C. to 160 C. The elastomer reinforcement cord has a core (11) and at least one sheath layer (12). In a region surrounded by a line connecting the centers of the metal filaments constituting the outermost sheath layer at a cross-section in a direction orthogonal to an axial direction after vulcanization, when a region occupied by other than the metal filaments is defined as a gap region, the polymer material is contained in this gap region, and a filling rate, which is a ratio of the area of the polymer material, is higher than 120%, taking the area of the gap region as 100%.

The present invention relates to a rope for an elevator. The rope for the elevator comprises: a center strand formed by twisting a plurality of wires; inner layer strands formed by twisting the plurality of wires and arranged along the outer periphery of the center strand; and outer layer strands formed by twisting the plurality of wires and arranged along the outer periphery of the inner layer strands, wherein ten of each of the inner layer strands and the outer layer strands are prepared, the diameter of the center strand, the diameter of the inner layer strand and the diameter of the outer layer strand are respectively 0.33-0.35 times, 0.13-0.15 times and 0.22-0.24 times as large as the diameter of a first imaginary circle circumscribed around the outer layer strands, and a fill factor is 64-67%.

The present invention provides a using method of a seamless rope ring, comprising the following steps: sawing a braided end of the seamless rope ring and a tail end of the seamless rope ring together to form a double-lap seamless rope ring with a halved length; alternately winding a hitch-pulling rope and the double-lap seamless rope ring; and braiding a braided end of the hitch-pulling rope and a tail end of the hitch-pulling rope together to form a ring hitch. The seamless rope ring has a simple using method and extendable length so that the seamless rope ring has multiple purposes and using strength of the seamless rope ring is greatly enhanced.
