A modular attachment device for insertion into a plurality of strands of a braided rope, comprising: at least one braiding segment that is braidable into the plurality of strands; at least one first lateral fixation segment that is mountable to the at least one braiding segment at a first lateral attachment interface; and at least one second lateral fixation segment that is mountable to the at least one braiding segment at a second lateral attachment interface, wherein at least one of the first and second lateral fixation segments comprises at least one anchor point for attachment of an external component, and wherein the first and second lateral fixation segments are mountable to the at least one braiding segment for securing the plurality of strands on the at least one braiding segment.

The invention concerns a hoisting cable formed of a steel core coated at its periphery with a textile sheath, wherein said textile sheath is a sheath directly braided on the steel core and made of an abrasion-resistant synthetic material.

Embodiments disclose a utility model which is related to an advance utility paracord where a first plurality of strands and a second plurality of strands are braided. The first plurality of strands is braided and are made of one or more non-metallic materials. The second plurality of strands has a braided PE fishing line, a tinder line, and a thread. A non-transparent sheath encapsulates the first plurality of strands and the second plurality of strands.

A device configured for attachment to a loop end of a recovery winch rope or cable includes a hood element configured to fit over and around the loop end of the recovery winch rope or cable, wherein the hood element covers outward facing surfaces of the loop end, orifices located on either side of the hood element and aligned with an opening in the loop end, such that a continuous open space extends through the opening of the loop end, a base coupled to the hood element, the base being sized to prevent passage through a fairlead of the recovery winch, a removable cap located in the base, wherein the cap includes a space that allows the rope or cable to extend therethrough, and, wherein the hood element, the base and cap are composed of an elastomeric polymer.

A wired kernmantle cord comprises a single continuous length of 20-30 AWG solid, stranded, or braided metal wire coaxially placed in the center of a bundle of seven nylon yarns. The seven yarns each comprise three twisted nylon fibers. The metal wire and the seven yarns thus form a kern that is sheathed inside a woven, braided outer mantle of nylon. The mantle sheathing is woven densely and tightly enough to keep the kern from appearing or working through, and it provides electrical insulation for the metal wire, and weather and abrasion resistance and other environmental protection for the whole.

Methods for impregnating a liquid material into a rope are provided whereby a liquid material is provided in a tank which defines the liquid level in the tank. An impregnation unit containing a chamber at least partially immersed in the liquid material includes a vacuum-device operatively connected to the vacuum-outlet of the chamber so as to lower the pressure in the chamber below atmospheric pressure. The rope may therefore be passed through the liquid material in the tank and then inside and outside the chamber via the rope-inlet and rope-outlet of the chamber, while maintaining the pressure inside the chamber below the atmospheric pressure to thereby force the liquid material to fill at least part of the interstices between the fibers of the rope by penetrating between the fibers.
