Abstract
A rope comprises a core extending along a longitudinal axis and a sheath surrounding the core, the sheath extending along the longitudinal axis. A strap at least partially surrounds the sheath, the strap being separated from the core by the sheath. At least one thread passes several times through the strap, sheath and core to form several links fixedly securing the strap on the core and sheath. The links pass through a central section of the core, the central section corresponding to a circular section representing less than 50% of the cross-section of the core. The links are angularly offset from one another when observed along the longitudinal axis.

Rope comprising:
- a core extending along a longitudinal axis;
- a sheath surrounding the core, the sheath extending along the longitudinal axis;
- a strap at least partially covering the sheath over a section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the strap being separated from the core by the sheath;
- a seam formed by means of at least one thread passing several times through the strap, sheath and core to form several links to attach the strap fixedly on the core and on the sheath;
- wherein the links pass through a central section of the core, the central section corresponding to a circular section representing less than 50% of the cross-section of the core and wherein the links are angularly offset from one another when observed along the longitudinal axis.
Method for manufacturing a rope comprising the following steps:
- providing a core and a sheath covering the core, the core and sheath extending along a longitudinal axis;
- providing a strap;
- covering the sheath by the strap;
- securing the strap fixedly on the sheath and on the core by means of at least one thread that passes several times through a central section of the core, sheath and strap, the central section corresponding to a circular section representing less than 50% of the cross-section of the core, and the links are offset angularly from one another by a rotation of the strap, core and sheath around the longitudinal axis with respect to a needle that inserts the thread in the strap, sheath and core.
