A method for attaching an anchor to an end of a tensile member by inverting the assembly of anchor and tensile member and injecting pressurized potting compound. A length of filaments of the tensile member are placed within a cavity through the anchor. The anchor and filaments are placed in an inverted position, with the distal end of the anchor facing downward and the cable extending upward out of the anchor. If the anchor has an open distal end this is sealed. Liquid potting compound is injected into the anchor cavity and allowed to solidify. During the solidification process, a controlled translation (pulling) of the cable is preferably introduced.

A ligature attachment device for use with a ligature is disclosed, the ligature attachment device comprising a proximal section comprising a loop retainer section, a distal section comprising a tool section, a central section comprising a central ligature spool section having a centrally located cinch aperture and the central ligature spool section is coupled to the loop retainer section and the tool section. The loop retainer section having a loop retainer profile configured to retain a loop of the ligature frictionally engaged with the central ligature spool section. The cinch aperture having an aperture shape configured to allow at least two sections of a ligature to be removably retained in the cinch aperture whereby the cinch aperture can removably retain the loop of the ligature. The tool section comprises a first tool for removably joining a second tool.

The invention relates to a clamp or termination for a coated elevator rope in an elevator. When coated elevator ropes are used electrostatic charge may build up in the ropes due to the insulating coating. These charges generate repelling or attracting forces between the parallel ropes, which hampers the correct miming of the ropes in the pulleys and in extreme cases may derail the coated elevator ropes. The wedge and socket clamps according the invention discriminate themselves from prior art wedge and socket clamps in that the piercing instruments are provided in the low tension zone of the clamp. These piercing instruments can take the form of pins, fins or other protrusions and establish an electrical connection between the wedge and the conductive tensile member. Such an elevator clamp allows to leak static electricy being build up or allows wear detection per elevator rope.

A wedge socket device having an elongated member with one or more support members. Connected to the elongated member is a bracket adapted to receive a wedge socket and having a pair of vertical stops adapted to receive a cable therebetween. An extension member is slidably and telescopically received within an end of the elongated member. Connected to the elongated matter is a clamping member.

A belt or a belt segment has a plurality of strength members that extend in a longitudinal direction (X) and are arranged parallel to one another, and a connecting element which forms one end of the belt or belt segment and is configured to be connected to a further connecting element at the other end of the belt or to one end of a further belt segment. The ends of the strength members are held by the connecting element. The belt or belt segment is characterized in that the ends of the strength members are connected to at least one clamping body in a force-fitting manner, wherein the clamping body can be held by the connecting element in a force-fitting manner at least in the longitudinal direction (X).

The bungee fastener has a tapered chute that accepts a locking slider. A channel forms an opening in a side of the body thereby allowing passage of the slider through the channel. A plurality of slider teeth along a portion of the slider within the tapered chute may lock onto a bungee when the slider is slid into a locked position. The slider moves along the channel, thereby selectively narrowing the tapered chute with the slider teeth as the slider is slid into the locked position and enlarging the tapered chute as the slider is slid into the unlocked position. The bungee fastener may include a single slider or a plurality of sliders.

The present invention extends to a carabiner intended for use as an adjustable anchor. In general, embodiments of the invention include a carabiner that includes a pinching mechanism. More specifically, some embodiments of the invention include a carabiner having a pinching mechanism that includes one of a slidable pin, a rotatable cam, or a pivotable block. Additionally, some embodiments of the invention include a rope, whereas other embodiments can be used with a rope supplied by a climber.

A device and method for the end termination of a braided synthetic rope offering full efficiency of the spliced and unspliced, tensile strength of the subject synthetic rope, with a tapered solid compression thimble of unique surface topography allowing forces on the tapered solid compression thimble only in compression, seated inside an enclosing thimble socket with an internal tapered thimble seat free of sharp edges, with a screw-on cap at the top of the enclosing thimble socket with a fitting for attachment for connecting links and configurable for different rigging attachment styles, a contoured groove in the tapered solid compression thimble for receiving a braided synthetic rope wrapped around the solid compression thimble and spliced into itself. Rounded edges at the bottom of the enclosing thimble socket help protect the braided synthetic rope from abrasion and cutting while in service. Also provided is a screw-on cap with an adjustable externally threaded extension rod to receive an internally threaded clevis jaw and pin end fitting positioned as desired on the extension rod with a lock nut. The device is intended to create a job-site qualified, safe and efficient manner to connect objects in the rigging and mooring industry such as other synthetic mooring lines, tow lines, anchor chains, and wire ropes.

The present invention relates to a belt or a belt segment having a plurality of strength supports. The strength supports run in the longitudinal direction (X) and are disposed so as to be mutually parallel. A connection element which forms one end of the belt or the belt segment and is configured for connecting to a further connection element of the other end of the belt or to one end of a further belt segment, it being possible for the ends of the strength supports to be held in a force-fitting manner by the connection element by way of press-fitting. The belt or the belt segment includes a part-region of the connection element which is configured as a tool region, in order to serve as a tool part during press-fitting of the ends of the strength supports in the connection element.
