Fig. 1 is a transverse cross-sectional view of a preferable hoist rope according to the present invention; -
Fig. 2 is a conceptual elevation view of an elevator, showing a suspending state of a related-art hoist rope; and -
Fig. 3 is an enlarged transverse cross-sectional view of the hoist rope shown inFig. 2 . - In order to describe a first embodiment of the present invention in more detail, the embodiment will be described by reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in
Fig. 1 , reference numeral 7 designates a strand constituting a primary strength member of ahoist rope 2 made from a synthetic fiber rope, and the strand is made by bundling a plurality of wires having a diameter of several microns formed from high-strength synthetic resin fiber with adhesive means. -
Reference numeral 8 designates a surface cladding layer which is made of wear-and-abrasion-resistant synthetic resin and is arranged so as to cover outer circumferential surfaces of the plurality of strands 7. Thesurface cladding layer 8 is formed from the same high-strength synthetic resin as that from which the strands 7 are formed or from synthetic resin belonging to the same family as that to which the high-strength synthetic resin belongs. - The strength of the
surface cladding layer 8 is enhanced by mixture of high-strength fiber 9 made of PBO resin; aramid, e.g. KEVLAR®; carbon; or XYRON®.

By means of a mesh structure of the thus-plaited fiber, the elongation characteristic of the surface claddinglayer 8 and that of the strands 7 can be made uniform, and the life of the rope can be prolonged, thus improving the suspension characteristic of the rope. - If the high-
strength fiber 9 to be mixed into thesurface cladding layer 8 is formed from the same high-strength synthetic resin fiber as that from which the strands 7 are formed or if an improvement in the strength of the rope is expected by virtue of mixture of the high-strength fiber 9, the strands 7 and the high-strength fiber 9 are arranged linearly in parallel with each other in the longitudinal direction of thehoist rope 2, whereby integration of the strands 7 with the high-strength fiber 9 and an improvement in the strength of the rope can be achieved. - Further, if the high-

surface cladding layer 8. Each of the outer-layer strength members is formed by means of bundling wires having a diameter of several microns, the wires being formed from the same high-strength synthetic resin as that from which the strands are formed or from synthetic resin material categorized in the same family in which the high-strength synthetic resin is categorized. The outer-layer strength member is formed by means of bundling the wires in parallel with adhesive means. The outer-layer strength members are formed so as to enclose the outer circumferential surfaces of the plurality of strands 7. Thus, the strength of thehoist rope 2 can be enhanced by means of the strength member along with the strands 7. - The outer-layer strength members are bundled in parallel with each other by means of adhesive means made from material having a fusing point characteristic lower than that of the
surface cladding layer 8. As a result, adhesive strength between thesurface cladding layer 8 and the outer-layer strength members can be improved when the outer-layer strength members are sheathed with thesurface cladding layer 8 through fused coating. An improvement in adhesive strength between thesurface cladding layer 8 and the outer-layer strength members enables preservation of a bundled form of the plurality of strands 7 of thehoist rope 2; namely, deformation of the bundled strands can be prevented.
