Abstract
A cable comprises a first and a second thimble (2, 4), and at least one main yarn (6) and an auxiliary yarn (7). The first and the second thimble are provided at opposite ends of the cable. The at least one main yarn (6) and the auxiliary yarn (7) each forms turns around the first and second thimble (2, 4). Each thimble (2, 4) comprises a bearing surface (40), and holds a stack (19) of layers (10) of turns of the main yarn (6). A stack (119) of turns of the auxiliary yarn (7) comprising at least a first layer (13) of turns of the auxiliary yarn (7) lies on the bearing surface (40) of the respective thimble (2, 4).
Claims20
A cable, comprising:
- a first thimble and a second thimble, and at least one main yarn, wherein
- the at least one main yarn comprises fibers of a first type,
- the first thimble and the second thimble are provided at opposite ends of the cable,
- the at least one main yarn extends from the first thimble to the second thimble, turns around the second thimble, extends from the second thimble to the first thimble, and turns around the first thimble, such that the at least one main yarn forms turns around the first and second thimbles, each thimble comprises a bearing surface, and holds a stack of layers of turns of the at least one main yarn,
- and wherein the cable comprises fibers of a second type, wherein the second type is different from the first type,
- a stack comprising at least a first layer of the fibers of the second type that lies on the bearing surface of at least one of the first and second thimbles,
- and
- wherein the stack of layers of turns of the at least one main yarn is located on top of the stack of the fibers of the second type.
A method for producing an endless winding cable, comprising the steps of:
- positioning a first thimble with a first bearing surface and a second thimble with a second bearing surface at a predetermined distance from each other, which distance corresponds to a required cable length,
- providing at least one main yarn comprising fibers of a first type,
- providing fibers of a second type, wherein the second type is different from the first type,
- forming a stack comprising at least a first layer of the fibers of the second type on either the first bearing surface or the second bearing surface of at least one of the first and second thimbles,
- winding the at least one main yarn on top of the stack of the fibers of the second type from the first thimble to the second thimble, a half turn around the second thimble, back to the first thimble, and a half turn around the first thimble, and
- repeating the previous step until a predetermined number of layers of turns of the at least one main yarn is provided on both the first thimble and the second thimble.
A cable, comprising:
- a first thimble and a second thimble, and at least one main yarn, wherein the at least one main yarn comprises fibers of a first type,
- the first thimble and the second thimble are provided at opposite ends of the cable,
- the at least one main yarn extends from the first thimble to the second thimble, turns around the second thimble, extends from the second thimble to the first thimble, and turns around the first thimble, such that the at least one main yarn forms turns around the first and second thimbles, each thimble comprises a bearing surface, and holds a stack of layers of turns of the at least one main yarn, and wherein the cable comprises fibers of a second type, wherein the second type is different from the first type, and
- further comprising a sheet made of the fibers of the second type, wherein the sheet is positioned on the bearing surface of at least one of the first and second thimbles.
