DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Hereinafter, a lifesaving rope according to preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view schematically illustrating a lifesaving rope according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lifesaving rope 100 according to a preferred embodiment comprises a core 110, an outer cover 130 and a connecting cord 150.

The core 110 is for withstanding the given load, and it is made in a way that thin and long materials are weaved in X-shape to have relatively narrow and close intervals. Aramid based such as kervlar, twaron and starbond, poly-ethylene based such as dyneema, spectra, polyester, nylon 6, nylon 66, or high tenacity such as polypropylene are preferably applied as material of the core 110. Further, carbon fibers or glass fibers can be applied to meet an exterior condition such as high tensile force, the coefficient of expansion, thermal endurance, the chemicals resistance, ultraviolet rays and humidity by considering the characteristics of industrial fields.

The core 110, as illustrated in FIG. 2, is folded in double in its width direction. When the core 110 is twofold like this, the load which the core 110 can withstand can be increased and the core 110 is much easily inserted into the cylindrical outer cover 130 because the core 110 is not very soft.

Alternatively, the core 110' can be twofold, as shown in FIG. 3, by laminating two cores having same size, or as shown in FIG. 4, by inserting one core 110b into another core 110a.

The outer cover 130 is for protecting the core 110 and for additionally withstanding the given load, and it is made in a way that thin and long materials are weaved in X-shape to have relatively wide intervals. Also, the outer cover 130 is relatively closely wrinkled in longitudinal direction thereof, and a plurality of elastic strings 111 are inserted into the outer cover 130 according to the circumference of the outer cover 130.
Like this, the outer cover 130 can be extended over 4 times with respect to the prior art by being extended 2 times owing to the weaved structure thereof and by being further extended 2 times owing to the wrinkle thereof and the elastic strings 111. The outer cover 130 can be preferably made of any materials having sufficient elasticity. And, on considering the sun's rays, thermal endurance, chemical resistance and wear resistance, the outer cover 130 can be applied with carbon fibers, glass fibers, mono fibers, or rubber hoses even they do not have elasticity so as to meet a condition of industrial field.

The connecting cord 150 is for connecting the core 110 and the outer cover 130 to a connecting hook (not shown), and it has one end which is sewed together with the core 110 and the outer cover 130.

As exaggratingly shown in FIG. 5, the core or the outer cover of this embodiment is weaved to have the slope (0') which is greater than that of prior art. The slope (6') is about 70 -80 , which is about 2 times of prior slope 6 of about 30 440 . Therefore, when the slope 6' is about 15 -20 , as afore-mentioned, the lifesaving rope of the present invention can be extended up to 2 times with respect to the prior art.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention have been described, it is understood that the present invention should not be limited to this preferred embodiment but various changes and modifications can be made by one skilled in the art within the sprit and scope of the present invention aimed.
