Abstract
A method for manufacturing a rope structure comprising providing, around a first roller and a second roller, a loop including a plurality of twisted strands. The method further comprising feeding a plurality of body strands onto the loop, feeding including, with the plurality of body strands connected to the loop, moving the loop about the first roller and the second roller to cause the body strands to lay and be twisted on the plurality of twisted strands.

A method of manufacturing a rope structure, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of twisted strands such that the plurality of twisted strands is wrapped in a loop around a first roller and a second roller at opposing sides of the loop;
- and
- feeding a plurality of body strands onto the loop while connected to the loop such that the body strands are caused to twist and lay upon the plurality of twisted strands by movement of the loop about the first roller and the second roller.
A method of manufacturing a rope structure, the method comprising:
- forming a loop around a first roller and a second roller, the loop including a plurality of loop strands wrapped around the first roller and the second roller at opposing sides of the loop, forming including applying a twist to the plurality of loop strands to provide a plurality of twisted strands;
- and
- feeding a plurality of body strands onto the loop while the plurality of loop strands is connected to the loop such that the body strands are caused to twist and to lay upon the plurality of twisted strands by movement of the loop.
A method of manufacturing a rope structure, the method comprising:
- positioning a plurality of twisted strands around a first roller and a second roller so as to form a loop with the first roller and the second roller at opposing sides of the loop;
- and
- feeding a plurality of body strands onto the loop, feeding including, with the plurality body strands connected to the loop, moving the loop about the first roller and the second roller which causes the body strands to twist and lay on the plurality of twisted strands.
