Abstract
Methods of weaving decorative rope chains are disclosed. Chain links having gaps are assembled with all of the gaps oriented in the same direction. Accordingly, the links are interconnected one into the next in a helix configuration with each of the gaps facing in the same direction. One or more wire strands may be intertwined in the valleys of the helix configuration and remain in place to retain the helix configuration. The resulting rope chain itself may be used to form links for forming new types of chains.
Claims20
A rope chain comprising:
- a plurality of intertwined links, each link including a gap, the links oriented with gaps in the same direction and fitted together one against the other to form a helix configuration defining a first spiral valley and a second spiral valley;
- and
- a first wire intertwined around the helix configuration in the first spiral valley and permanently affixed to the rope chain.
A method comprising:
- assembling a plurality of links into a helix configuration wherein each link includes a gap and each link is oriented so that the gaps each open in the same direction;
- and
- wrapping a strand into a valley of the helix configuration.
A method comprising:
- forming a plurality of compound links from a rope chain;
- and
- assembling the compound links into a different chain.
A chain element comprising:
- a first compound link;
- a second compound link interwoven with the first compound link;
- a third compound link interwoven with the second compound link;
- and
- a forth compound link interwoven with the third compound link,
- wherein the compound links each include a length of rope chain shaped to form a link.
