Abstract
A safe metal free and hookless winch rope includes a stopper knot formed at an end of the winch rope that is opposite an end of the winch rope intended to be wound around a winch, and a plurality of brummel style openings formed inline along at least a portion of the winch rope. The stopper knot can be selectively inserted into any brummel style opening of the plurality of brummel style openings to wrap around an object during a winch operation and the stopper knot will be securely held in the selected brummel style opening when the winch rope is under tension during the winch operation.
Claims13
A winch rope system, comprising:
- an elongate winch rope having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the a proximal end is configured to be attached to a winch;
- a stopper knot formed at the distal end of the winch rope;
- a plurality of brummel style openings formed inline along at least a portion of the winch rope that is proximal to the stopper knot;
- a second section of rope that is separate from the elongate winch rope;
- and
- a brummel splice formed on each end of the second section of rope, wherein the brummel splices are configured to slide over the stopper knot, wherein the stopper knot is configured to be selectively inserted into any brummel style opening of the plurality of brummel style openings to wrap around an object during a winch operation and the stopper knot will be securely held in the selected brummel style opening when the winch rope is under tension during the winch operation.
A line having a cross-sectional area and composition designed for tension applications within a predetermined breaking load using the line, the line comprising:
- a synthetic material braided in layers to form the line;
- a proximal end;
- a distal end;
- and
- a stopper knot on the distal end of the line, the stopper knot configured for holding a loop when the line is under tension.
