Abstract
The present invention relates to a rope assembly (1) consisting of at least one rope (2) that is made of textile fibre material and is folded back to form two substantially parallel rope portions (2′, 2″), wherein load distribution between the two rope portions is enabled and the rope portions are surrounded by a common sleeve (4). The rope assembly according to the invention is particularly suitable as a winch rope or as a rope for drive pulley drives, e.g., as a lift cable, in Koepe hoists and in capstans.
Claims18
A rope assembly suitable for winch applications or drive pulley drives, comprising at least one rope that is made of textile fibre material and that is folded back to form two adjacent rope portions,
- wherein the adjacent rope portions are surrounded by a common sleeve that permits the adjacent rope portions to be displaceable against each other so as to equalize load distribution between the adjacent rope portions,
- wherein the common sleeve is disposed between a first end of the rope assembly, where the adjacent rope portions are folded back, and a second end of the rope assembly having a plurality of rope ends.
A rope assembly suitable for winch applications or drive pulley drives, comprising at least two ropes that are made of textile fibre material and that are folded back to form at least four adjacent rope portions,
- wherein the adjacent rope portions are surrounded by a common sleeve that permits each of the adjacent rope portions to be displaceable against each other so as to equalize load distribution between the adjacent rope portions,
- wherein the common sleeve is disposed between a first end of the rope assembly, where the adjacent rope portions are folded back, and a second end of the rope assembly having a plurality of rope ends.
A rope assembly, comprising at least one plaited or twisted rope that is made of textile fibre material and that is folded back to form two adjacent rope portions,
- wherein the adjacent rope portions are surrounded by a common sleeve that permits the adjacent rope portions to be displaceable against each other so as to equalize load distribution between the adjacent rope portions,
- wherein the common sleeve is disposed between a first end of the rope assembly, where the two adjacent rope portions are folded back, and a second end of the rope assembly having two rope ends.
