A tyre for vehicle wheels comprises a support structure and a tread band arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the support structure. The support structure comprises at least one reinforcing layer including a plurality of hybrid reinforcing cords (10′) each having a metallic wire (21) twisted together with a multifilament textile yarn (22) comprising a plurality of filaments (23). In any cross section of each of said hybrid reinforcing cords (10′), the metallic wire (21) is at least partially embedded in the filaments (23) of the multifilament textile yarn (22).

The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a metallic reinforcing cord (10) for tyres for vehicle wheels. The process comprises providing at least one elongated element (15) comprising at least one metallic wire (11) twisted together with at least one textile yarn (20) and removing said at least one textile yarn (20) from said at least one elongated element (15) to form the aforementioned metallic reinforcing cord (10). Such a metallic reinforcing cord (10) has a helical geometry, consisting only of said at least one metallic wire (11) that extends along a helical path. The invention also relates to an apparatus (1) for manufacturing the aforementioned metallic reinforcing cord (10).

A lifting member for an elevator system is disclosed, including a rope formed from a plurality of strands comprising liquid crystal polymer fibers, with the strands extending along a length of the lifting member. A first polymer coating is disposed on outer surfaces of the fibers or on outer surfaces of the strands. A second polymer coating disposed over the first polymer coating.

A rope is used as a combustible material in a heating system, the rope comprising or consisting of fibrous plant material. Also, a method of operating a heating system comprises feeding a combustible material to a combustion chamber of the heating system, the combustible material being a rope of fibrous plant material.

A structure for a semi-static tensile member and a method for producing the semi-static tensile member. A tensile member is prepared by attaching terminations to an assembly of synthetic filaments. The tensile member is then attached to a loading apparatus that subjects the tensile member to a pre-defined loading process. The tensile member is thereby conditioned to a stable length. A bend restricting device is attached to the cable assembly proximate the point where the synthetic strands exit the termination and enter the freely-flexing portion of the cable. The bend restricting device is configured to permit periodic inspection of the cable in the region it covers.

Provided is a cable including a stranded member floating-preventing element that can be easily peeled off.

A power transmission line core includes one core member and six side members twisted around the core member, each member obtained by impregnating a fiber bundle including a plurality of carbon fibers that are continuous in the longitudinal direction and bundled into the fiber bundle with a resin and curing the resin. A tow including a plurality of tow fibers that are continuous in the longitudinal direction and arranged flatly and densely is spirally wound around the surface of the power transmission line core in the direction opposite to the twisting direction of the side members. The tow is detachably entangled in the unevenness on the surface of the power transmission line core.

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%.

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.

Embodiments disclose a reflective rope assembly consisting of a ladder comprised of two heavy duty safety carabiners, a series of anti-slip PVC rungs, attached to the flexible rope side supports which has reflective silk strands braided in for the purpose of reflecting light in nighttime/dark environment. The fire escape ladders doesn't require any assembly. The safety hooks allow for the ladder to be quickly attached to a window or a balcony railing in multiple ways. The ladder is fully deployed when the hooks are secured, and the ladder is lowered out of a window or a balcony to allow a safe descend.

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.
