Abstract
A wired kernmantle cord comprises a single continuous length of 20-30 AWG solid, stranded, or braided metal wire coaxially placed in the center of a bundle of seven nylon yarns. The seven yarns each comprise three twisted nylon fibers. The metal wire and the seven yarns thus form a kern that is sheathed inside a woven, braided outer mantle of nylon. The mantle sheathing is woven densely and tightly enough to keep the kern from appearing or working through, and it provides electrical insulation for the metal wire, and weather and abrasion resistance and other environmental protection for the whole.
Claims8
A wired kernmantle cord, comprising:
- a single continuous length of 20-30 AWG solid, stranded, or braided metal wire coaxially placed in the center;
- a bundle of seven synthetic yarns that surround the metal wire and that each comprise three twisted synthetic fibers;
- wherein the metal wire and the seven yarns constitute a kern;
- and
- a pliable outer mantle that surrounds and sheathes the kern inside, and that is formed of a woven or otherwise braided covering of synthetic fibers;
- wherein, the pliable outer mantle provides environmental protection from weather and abrasion of the kern as a whole, and electrical insulation in particular for the metal wire at its coaxial center.
A wired kernmantle cord, comprising:
- a single continuous length of 20-30 AWG stranded metal wire coaxially placed in the center, and that is a multi-strand of at least seven strands, one strand in the middle, and six strands surrounding it in close contact;
- a bundle of seven nylon yarns that surround the metal wire and that each comprise three twisted nylon fibers;
- wherein the metal wire and the seven yarns constitute a kern;
- a pliable outer mantle that surrounds and sheathes the kern inside, and that is formed of a woven or otherwise braided covering of nylon, wherein such provides environmental protection from weather and abrasion of the kern as a whole, and electrical insulation in particular for the metal wire at its coaxial center;
- a weave of nylon included in the mantle that is woven densely and tightly enough to prevent any of the kern from appearing or working through;
- a braided fishing line included in the kern;
- and
- a Paraffin-waxed Jute twine included in the kern.
The wired kernmantle cord of claim 8, wherein:
- the metal wire is a multi-strand of nineteen strands, which is another layer of twelve strands on top of the first seven.
