Abstract
An exercise rope is disclosed. The exercise rope includes a weighted core. It further includes a first braided layer surrounding the weighted core, the first braided layer having yarns of a first ply. It further includes a second braided layer surrounding the first braided layer, the second braided layer having yarns of a second ply, the second ply being higher than the first ply. It further includes a third braided layer surrounding the second braided layer, the third braided layer having yarns of a third ply, the third ply being higher than the second ply. The second braided layer is coated with an adhesive.
Claims20
An exercise rope, comprising:
- a weighted core;
- a first braided layer surrounding the weighted core, the first braided layer having yarns of a first ply;
- a second braided layer surrounding the first braided layer, the second braided layer having yarns of a second ply, the second ply being higher than the first ply;
- an adhesive coating the second braided layer;
- and
- a third braided layer surrounding the second braided layer, the third braided layer having yarns of a third ply, the third ply being higher than the second ply, wherein half the yarns of the third braided layer are twisted in a clockwise direction and half the yarns of the third braided layer are twisted in a counterclockwise direction.
A plurality of exercise ropes, each of the plurality of exercise ropes comprising:
- a weighted core;
- a first braided layer surrounding the weighted core, the first braided layer having yarns of a first ply;
- a second braided layer surrounding the first braided layer, the second braided layer having yarns of a second ply, the second ply being higher than the first ply;
- and
- a third braided layer surrounding the second braided layer, the third braided layer having yarns of a third ply, the third ply being higher than the second ply, wherein half the yarns of the third braided layer are twisted in a clockwise direction and half the yarns of the third braided layer are twisted in a counterclockwise direction;
- wherein the second braided layer is coated with an adhesive;
- and
- wherein the plurality of exercise ropes includes a first exercise rope and a second exercise rope, each first exercise rope and second exercise rope having a dimension, the dimension of the first exercise rope being different than the dimension of the second exercise rope.
A method of manufacturing an exercise rope, comprising:
- forming a weighted core;
- coupling a first braided layer around the weighted core, the first braided layer having yarns of a first ply;
- coupling a second braided layer around the first braided layer, the second braided layer having yarns of a second ply, the second ply being higher than the first ply;
- coating the second braided layer with an adhesive;
- and
- coupling a third braided layer around the second braided layer, the third braided layer having yarns of a third ply, the third ply being higher than the second ply, wherein half the yarns of the third braided layer are twisted in a clockwise direction and half the yarns of the third braided layer are twisted in a counterclockwise direction.
