A rope comprises a core extending along a longitudinal axis and a sheath surrounding the core, the sheath extending along the longitudinal axis. A strap at least partially surrounds the sheath, the strap being separated from the core by the sheath. At least one thread passes several times through the strap, sheath and core to form several links fixedly securing the strap on the core and sheath. The links pass through a central section of the core, the central section corresponding to a circular section representing less than 50% of the cross-section of the core. The links are angularly offset from one another when observed along the longitudinal axis.

A rope edge protection system having a rope protection mat and an edge protection mat in combination for the protection of rope. The rope protection mat is a generally rectangular sheet that can be secured in a sleeve-like configuration around a climbing rope and move along the rope with the user. The edge protection mat is a generally rectangular sheet with loops on each corner, but not limited to the corners, to secure the sheet in place against a building or other structure. The edge protection mat is a multi-layer sheet with a high loft layer to decrease the bend radius of the rope across a ledge. Both the rope protection mat and the edge protection mat include visual safety indicators.

Structured covers including an expanse, a structure member, and a hook. The hook is coupled to a first end of the structure member, The hook is configured to selectively couple to a coupling member to bound the expanse in a defined configuration defined at least in part by the structure member. In some examples, the structured cover includes a plurality of structure members, a plurality of mounting points, a channel layer, a crimp, and/or a reinforcing layer.

The invention relates to the technological field of bridge structures, in particular to a long-service-life PWS cable with replaceable sleeve and shielding gas. It consists of wire strands, wrapping tape covering the wire strands, and a sheath arranged outside the wire strands, and is characterized in that the sheath is covered with an outer protective sleeve and shielding gas is filled between the wires in the wire strands. The wire strands of the present invention is completely under protection in a shielding gas environment which effectively avoids the corrosion of the wire strands; the protective sleeve outside the sheath of the PWS cable is a replaceable segmented and fragmented sleeve structure, which is convenient to be replaced and installed, substantially prolonging the service life of the PWS cable system with great promotional value achieved.

A system for protecting a climbing device from contacting a wall includes a barrier device defining an eyelet, an anchor anchored to the wall, and a cord. The barrier device is configured to wrap around the climbing device such that the barrier device extends between climbing device and the wall and forms a sleeve that encircles the climbing device. The barrier device protects the climbing device from the wall. The cord extends through the eyelet and is coupled to the barrier device and the anchor such that the barrier device is anchored to the wall and in a desired position relative to the wall. The barrier device is configured to move relative to the climbing device, and the cord limits movement of the barrier device relative to the climbing device.

An elongated cover that fits around a battle rope. The cover includes a tube shape made of a fabric material. The cover further includes a first open end opposite a second open end. A first cinch is coupled to the cover at the first open end and a second cinch is coupled to the cover at the second open end.

Apparatus and method for mooring a watercraft to a stationary attachment point such as a dock. A guard assembly reduces chafing between a mooring line and an edge surface of the watercraft using an elongated tube of flexible material through which a medial portion of the mooring line freely passes. A securement strap of the guard assembly extends from a proximal end of the tube and is configured for attachment to an attachment point of the watercraft, such as a cleat. The securement strap has a length sufficient to maintain a medial portion of the tube in interposed relation between the mooring line and the edge surface of the watercraft. The securement strap may be adjustable in length to accommodate different watercraft configurations.

A first cinch is coupled to the cover at the first open end and a second cinch is coupled to the cover at the second open end.

An elongate body adapted to bend in a single plane, comprises a rope extending within a succession of individual tubular elements closely spaced along the rope. Each element has on two opposite sides of the plane an extended section engaging a recess in its neighbouring element, the profiles of the section and recess allowing relative rotation of adjacent elements in said plane. The tubular elements thus form an exoskeleton around the rope which must be breached before the rope can be cut. The geometry of the tubular elements can be such that notwithstanding gaps, the rope cannot be readily accessed unless the exoskeleton is broken.
