The present invention relates to a hybrid pipe (1) for stay cable, comprising a tubular shaped wall (15), the wall having an internal face (18) and an external face (19). The hybrid pipe (1) further comprises at least one reinforcing element (12, 22), the reinforcing element (12, 22) being provided at the wall (15) to form the hybrid pipe (1) such that the hybrid pipe (1) has a higher mechanical properties/resistance such as higher buckling resistance, higher tensile strength and/or a lower thermal dilatation than the wall (15) itself. The present invention also relates to a cable-stayed system comprising such a hybrid pipe (1) and a method of manufacturing such a hybrid pipe (1).

A belt for an elevator system includes a plurality of tension members arranged along a belt width and extending longitudinally along a length of the belt. Each tension member includes a core member formed from a plurality of load carrying fibers, and a plurality of overwrap members surrounding the core member. A jacket material at least partially encapsulates the plurality of tension members. An elevator system includes a hoistway, an elevator car positioned in the hoistway and movable therein, and a belt operably connected to the elevator car to suspend and/or drive the elevator car along the hoistway. The belt includes a plurality of tension members arranged along a belt width and extending longitudinally along a length of the belt. Each tension member includes a core member formed from a plurality of load carrying fibers, and a plurality of overwrap members surrounding the core member.

The invention relates to a rope made of a textile fibre material for applications in which a diagonal pull may occur, characterized in that the rope is a core/sheath rope the core (1) of which and the sheath of which are composed essentially of a textile fibre material the core (1) of which is stranded and which exhibits a force-fitting winding with a tensile element (2, 2′, 2″) between the core (1) and the sheath.

The invention relates to an accessory connector device and to a connection system comprising said device, for connecting and locking at least one accessory to at least one cable, wherein the connector device comprises at least one spiral curved wire whose pitch is between 0.1 and 50 cm, extending and forming an outer envelope and an inner zone surrounded by said outer envelope, wherein the spiral curved wire pitch defines spiral sections, so that the connector device comprises between 1 to 1000 spiral sections along its extension, wherein the inner zone of the connector device comprises a spiral axis, so that the outer envelope formed by the spiral curved wire surrounds said spiral axis, wherein said inner area is configured to receive a first cable arranged along the spiral axis, and wherein at least one of the spiral sections of the spiral curved wire is configured to connect the connector device with the accessory in said at least one spiral section, locking the lateral sliding of the accessory with respect to the spiral axis, so that at least part of the accessory is located between the first cable and the spiral curved wire.
