End fittings are shown and described for affixing spliced rope to various styles of fixed fittings. The end fittings shown are optimized for a specific rope diameter to minimize the compressive stresses on the rope while maintaining the inspectability of the rope and the connections. The end fittings are flexible such that they can be utilized with a wide variety of existing fixed fittings making retro fitting easier and more economical.

A termination system which improves the consistency and repeatability of the wicking of the liquid potting compound in the transition area between the potted and the imported filaments. The termination system controllably compresses the filaments within the transition area to produce repeatable wicking. The potting compound selected and the degree of compression employed combine to produce a desired wicking effect.

A wire rope assembly unit including a wire rope and a device for assembling the wire rope. The device is fastened at one end of the wire rope and has a connecting element arranged at the front on the end of the wire rope. The assembly unit has a sleeve that engages around an outer surface of an end section of the wire rope. The sleeve is made of a material of lesser rigidity than strands of the wire rope and, optionally, than the connecting element. The sleeve is pressed, hammered and/or rolled onto the wire rope and, optionally, onto the connecting element to produce a form-locked connection. Outer strands of the wire rope are separated from the wire rope in a rope section, in which the wire rope is arranged inside the sleeve, and the sleeve is connected to ends of the outer strands at its one edge.

A safety device with a sliding cable and a corresponding installation, to secure conduits, pipes, piping and similar equipments subject to high pressure due to fluid under pressure circulating in such conduits and equipments. The safety device includes a flexible cable which forms a first and a second attachment eyelet for attaching and connecting the safety device to two parts of the conduits and equipments under pressure. A first and a second sleeve which close two end portions of the flexible cable form, at the ends of the safety device, the first and second attachment eyelets. Two terminals are provided at the opposite ends of the flexible cable.

An adjustable length tensioning member that comprises a rope, a first connector on the rope, a second connector on the rope, and a plurality of connection points between the first connector and the second connector is disclosed. The plurality of connection points have a diameter greater than a diameter of the rope. The rope may be passed through a socket coupled to a first crane component and one of the connectors on the rope is coupled to a second crane component. One of the plurality of connection points engages a seat on the socket to tension the rope between the socket and the connection point.

A cord management kit to help manage cords. The cord management kit includes one or more base members removably affixed to a planar member designed to retain one or more base members. Each base member includes a lower side and an upper side, wherein the lower side of the base member includes a fastener, such as adhesive, designed to removably secure the base member to a surface. A clip is on the upper side of each base member, wherein the clip includes a pair of opposing arms composed of a padded material that form a gap, wherein the gap is designed to receive a cord therethrough. The arms are biased toward one another such that pressure is exerted against opposing sides of the cord received through the gap.

A system for tensioning a rope of a play structure includes a collar coupled to the play structure. The system includes a tensioner coupled to the rope. The tensioner is coupled to the collar through a threaded connection and where a rotation of the tensioner in relation to the collar adjusts a tension in the rope.
