Definitions
- the present invention relates to a composite synthetic rope, intended in particular, but not exclusively, for the stringing of tennis rackets.
- Composite synthetic strings are already known.
- FR-A-2 491 098 a synthetic cord with two components is described: polyamide multifilament yarns and polyurethane, the multifilaments being integrated in a polyurethane matrix.
- the polyurethane binder whose elastic behavior is much higher than that of polyamide, allows to obtain with a particular structure of the rope, a high breaking strength and a medium hardness resulting in a rapid return of the rope in its initial position after the impact of a bullet.
- the object of the present invention is to use this advantage and to considerably lengthen the life of tennis strings, even when used with rackets with a rigid frame, by presenting an original appearance.
- the synthetic composite cord in particular for tennis rackets, comprising strands of a first synthetic material and a binder of a second synthetic material permeating at heart, joining and covering said strands, wound in a spiral, the point of melting of the binder being less than that of the threads and its very much elasticity, said threads being made up of multifilaments, is characterized in that at least one monofilament with two flat sides is placed in the center of the rope, the latter undergoing bending under tension after its formation.
- the cord is characterized in that the oblong monofilament appears as a contrasting spiral through the transparent binder.
- a single flat central monofilament thread is sufficient to achieve the desired effect.
- the central monofilament (s) are oblong monofilaments with very high tenacity, the section of which is of generally rectangular shape with rounded edges. They constitute in a way a soul of the rope.
- the central monofilament (or a bundle of multifilaments) can be colored to increase the light effect of iridescence. It is also possible to color the polyurethane or binder in the mass.
- the rope according to the invention is composed of polyurethane 1, forming the matrix of the rope and permeating and surrounding the multifilaments and the monofilaments.
- the polyurethane is found between the multifilaments 2, and the central monofilaments 3 thus constitutes a homogeneous whole. It also constitutes the bark 4 or outer envelope layer of the cord.
- 3 oblong monofilaments which, in the example shown, are two in number. But in any case, the monofilaments 3 are joined to multifilaments 2 by the polyurethane matrix.
- Monofilaments 3 also support dynamic rope work.
- the rope according to the invention which is also stiffened by the presence of monofilaments, is easier to string.
- the multifilaments 2, as well as the monofilaments 3, consist of polyamide known under the designation "nylon 6.6", whose shore hardness “D” is 85, or other polyamides and copolyamides.
- the manufacturing process by twisting such a rope is conventional, that is to say it consists in coating monofilaments and multifilaments before twisting and then twisting them with a twist rate of 50 to 200 turns / meter, the rope being, after twisting and evaporation of the solvent, passed through a contour regularization and evacuation of excess polyurethane. After which, a flexion is exerted on the rope under tension, which produces delamination and makes the central monofilaments appear through the polyurethane.
- the coils of multifilaments, of oblong monofilaments and are mounted on a turntable on which the threads are coated with a polyurethane solution.
- the wires pass through an oven which evaporates the solvent and pre-polymerizes the polyurethane. Then the wires are wound in a ring and the binder is definitively polymerized in an oven. After which a pull is exerted on the wire to obtain the desired effect.
- the rope can thus be built in a single operation and without repeats.
- the bending under tension exerted on the rope causes a delamination which makes that the spiral of the central monofilaments appears as a helix through transparent polyurethane.
- the pitch of the spiral is a function of the twisting.
- the rope shown in Figure 1 has a diameter of 1.30mm and has a breaking strength greater than 80 daN. Its elongation at break is around 25%, and its mass 1.5 grams per meter. It consists of two oblong monofilaments of 2,200 decitex which, during twisting are wound in a spiral, and four multifilament threads including 140 filaments each whose diameter is 28 microns. All of the wires are twisted at the rate of 80 turns / meter.
- the multifilaments and monofilaments are made of polyamide, this material can be replaced by any other synthetic material having good dynamic characteristics, such as polyester, for example.
- the central monofilament threads can be of any cross section provided that they have two flat sides so that the contact between the two threads can be made on a non-point surface.
