Definitions

  • This invention relates to new and useful improvements in ropes.
  • Fig. l is a side elevational view of a short section of the rope of the invention a portion of the outer strands being broken away and part 'of the core being shown as never having had the outer strands laid about the same;
  • Fig. 2 is a somewhat enlarged transverse sectional view taken as along the line 22 of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a rope core alone
  • Fig. 4 is a view somewhat similar to Fig. 3 but showing another modification of the rope core:
  • Fig. 5 is an enlarged transverse sectional view showing a modification of rope
  • Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 5 but showing another modification of rope.
  • a rope including a main core I28 over which are laid strands I28 each comprising a core III and a series of wires I32 laid or twisted over such core.
  • Strands I29 are circular in transverse section although the invention is not limited to such construction.'
  • the main core I 28 is a bar-like filament and prior to incorporation in the cable is of constant diameter and round in transverse section. As will later develope, this core is extruded. Core III and engaged the same on all sides by the strands I" whereby such strands are uniformly supported throughout the length of the rope.
  • Fig. 3 shows a core separate from any other rope structure.
  • This core generally designated H1. comprises a plurality of small diameter vinylidene chloride filaments Ill twisted together.
  • Core I31 is quite flexible and provides considerable surface area for the application of lubricant.
  • Core I31 has many desirable characteristics and particularly where it is made of a large number of relatively small diameter filaments it is substantially circular in transverse section and provides a uniform support for strands laid about it. However the core is but loosely twisted and care should be taken in unreeling it so that it does not untwist whereby it may be kept with the foreheart originally laid into it.
  • Fig. 4 shows a construction wherein the vinylidene chloride, of which the core generally designated I is formed, has first been cut or formed into strips. Thereafter the strips are twisted to provide filaments I and any desired number of these are twisted together to provide the core.
  • a core made by the twisting up of a single strip of the material may be used. However, for larger or main cores a plurality of strips are twisted together to provide the core with the desired solid characteristics and with the desired resiliency and elasticity.
  • Fig. 5 shows a rope including fillers I13.
  • the rope is generally designated I14 and the same includes a number of strands designated respectively I15, I16, I11, I18, I19 and I each made up of a number of wires or metallic elements.
  • the strands are arranged about a central core Ill which may be of hemp or other natural fibres or of any of the plastics, the characteristics of which have been set forth.
  • the core may be of metal strands if so desired and if of plastic, may be any of the constructions of cores heretofore considered.
  • Each of the strands of the present rope is made up of a number of metallic elements or wires Ill and of a number of smaller diameter metallic elements I" (of which five are shown) and of the fillers I13 of vinylidene chloride. At the center of each strand is an element I of metal or of plastic.
  • the rope I14 is much more flexible than It would be if the filler elements I13 were of metal. These elements do not add particularly to the tensile strength of the rope but they do serve to prevent the metal elements thereof from nicking one another and act as cushions for such elements; Additionally when loaded with lubricant as they may well be, the fillers I13 serve to retain the lubricant and free it as maybe required during use of the rope as disclosed in my copending application.
  • Fig. 6 shows a Scale type rope generally designated I85 and comprising sixstrands I86, I81, I88, I89, I90 and I9! arranged about a main central core I92 of natural fibres or of the construction of any of the cores I31 and I above mentioned.
  • Each'strand of rope I85 comprises a plurality of wires or metal elements I93 ar ranged in a circle about and in spaced relation to a central metal element I94 and about said central element and between it and the larger outer wires I93 is a ring of vinylidene chloride filaments res.
  • These plastic filaments do not make for a rope or cable having the tensile strength of a rope or cable wherein the mentioned elements are oi steel, but have more strength. than if natural fibre is used.
  • the plastic filaments make tor a rope or cable of great flexibility and in addition the plastic filaments act as cushions preventing nicliing oi the inner and outer metal elements on one another. As the rope is laid and as it is used, the various stresses set up in it will result in deformation of the plastic filaments from the precise form in which they are shown but the plastic material will be present between the inner and outer metallic elements to function as a cushion and when loaded with lubricant will serve to retain and feed the latter as it may be needed during use of the rope.
  • each of the filaments is preformed or formed on a helix whereby the filements in a strand interfit with one another without stress.
  • the ends of such filament will not have atendency to spread outwardly of the zone of the body of the strand and will,resist unstranding and thus remain in place giving something to the strength of the assembly.
  • This same preforming opera tion is carried out in connection with the strands made of the preformed filaments whereby the strands being formed into helices will lie in an unstressed neutral condition in the ropes.
  • the preformed construction has little internal stress and therefore, ropes made as described will lie in a flat or straight condition with no real tendency to snarl or twist. When the ropes are to be cut it is not necessary to seize the ends as they will not unlay. Also such ropes have a longer life when run on sheaves; they are easier to splice; resist rotating in grooves; spool or coil perfectly and resist whipping.
  • non-metallic filaments and cores have been described as 01! vinylidene chloride it is to be understood that such material is the plastic preferred in the making of my ropes but that other plastic may be used.
  • the non-metallic filaments or cores comprise organic plastic ma-' terials or certain inorganic natural plastic mate rials as glass fibres, quartz fibres, or Bentonite (in the form known as Alsifilm) although asbestos has been found useful for my present purpose.
  • organic plastics may be used with clay or other cheap fillers as well as with fillers or cotton, silk, wool, waste ends from rope making, or other fibrous materials both natural and synthetic.
  • cotton, silk, wool, rayon aaoauv and other regenerated celluloses, or other fibrous material may be used in the form of flock, stable fibres, threads, swatches of woven iabrics or impregnated sheets cut to strips for twisting into elements or strands.
  • cellulose derivatives while in alpha and beta stage may be used as fillers and to toughen the material.
  • Vinylidene chloride possesses about all of the characteristics required. It is oil, acid, and
  • alkali resistant, non-inflammable has the de-.
  • sired modulus of elasticity, tensile, abrasive and fiexural strength is resilient, will not oxidize, is not adversely affected by sun or other light rays and has exceptionally low solvents. Further it is for the most part (as are the other vinyl derivatives) resistant to corrosive halides such as chlorlne and bromine and also to mustard gas. Vinylidene chloride is permanently water proof and is not afiected by bacteria and will not support fungus growth and so is not likely to decay through biochemical attack.
  • the vinyliclene chloride (sold commercially as Veiialloy) is in most respects mentioned herein similar to another vinyl compound. sold commercially as Vlnyon. However the latter is not as desirable due to the necessary use of plasticizers which dissipate in time making the material very brittle.
  • Vinylidene chloride has a critical point of set in that such material when stretched to the point of most yield has a return of about 10 percent. The stretching must be accomplished within a short time following extrusion as otherwise the material must be soaked in heat to cause it to return to random orientation to prevent the formation of cracks in its surface.
  • - Plastic filaments having a fixed amount of stretch and return provide a rope which gradually takes up its load. Where such filaments are used in a rope also having metal elements the feature of stretch is present since the metal elements may straighten and squeeze-into the plastic filaments providing for elongation of the rope. The parts will return to normal on being relieved of the load. The initial portion of the stretch is most easily obtained and as the rope elongates each succeeding degree of elongation requires a greater or increased load so that the load in any given instance is gradually taken up.
  • the non-metallic filaments, and cores of the rope of the invention may be of any of the various plastics as above sug ested and such plastics include synthetic resins, natural and synthetic lastics, cellulose (as ethyl cellulose) and its derivatives, protein plastic substances (as nylon), and petroleum plastic derivatives.
  • synthetic resins such as (1) phenol-aldehydic resins, (2) amino-aldehydic resins, (3) hydroxycarboxylic resins, (4) sulphonamide resins, (5) resins from sugar, (6) vinyl resins including resins from vinyl derivatives, (7) indene resins and (8) lignin plastic substances.
  • the polymerization resins and particularly the vinyl resins including resins from vinyl derivatives are preferred for my purpose.
  • resins such as phenol formaldehyde, cresol and cresylic acid, other tar acids and formaldehydes, phenol furfuraldehyde or other tar acids and other aldehydes.
  • resins such as phenol formaldehyde, cresol and cresylic acid, other tar acids and formaldehydes, phenol furfuraldehyde or other tar acids and other aldehydes.
  • type (2) is included urea and formaldehyde resins, and aniline resins obtained by condensing aniline and formaldehyde and other anilines or amines and other aldehydes.
  • Under type (3) I include materials produced by the esteriflcation of polybasic acids with poly hydric alcohols. Such materials-are frequently called alkyd resins, this title including adiplc acids resins obtained by the condensation oi.

  • I include lignin and its derivatives extracted from paper mill waste waters and other sources. The lignin may be separated into various chemical components of no value to me here but also into colored gums and by various treatments into clear transparent resins useful for my present purpose.
  • Lignin is hydrogenated with Raney nickel catalyst, in aqueous solution yielding methanol, propylcyclohexane, hydroxy propylcyclohexanes, and a colorless resin which may again be separated into an alkali soluble in an alkali insoluble c0mp0- nent. I use either of these components in the production of resins to be used in the making of ropes.

Also sulphonated rubber or synthetic sulphonates to promote wire adhesion.
  • cellulose and it deriva tives include cellulose acetate; regenerated cellulose; cellulose xanthate; benzylcellulose; ethylcellulose; cellulose hydrate; cellulose triacetate; cellulose acetobutyrate; cellulose acetopropionate; hydrolysed cellulose acetate and others of the Y cellulose esters and ethers.
  • Railan a rayon thread made from cellulose extracted from sugar cane may'also be used. Most of these materialscan be used alone for my purpose in the making of ropes and can be used in the form of filaments or may be cut to strips from sheets and then the strips twisted into filaments, such as those hown at I of Fig. '4. Also certain of these materials may be used with other materials herein ment ioned for the purpose of toughening the latter.
  • Nitrocellulose compounded with other materials of a less flammable nature or of a nature to prevent flammability may be used. Halowax or the like may be used for compounding with nitrocellulose and it i noted that the latter in so far as cost, strength and the like are concerned, is a desirable material for my purpose.
  • Other noninflammable plasticizers which may be compounded with nitrocellulose-for my purpose are monophenyl phosphate and di (paratertiary butyl phenyl) mono. l5 tertiary butyl 2 xenyl phosphate; The-flammable nature of nitrocellulose .may be weakened or lessened by mixing with varying proportions of cellulose acetate. Under this class may also be included gel cellulose which may be used for my purpose. This material may be used as a filler with other materials herein mentioned.

  • Polypentamethylene sebacamide sold as nylon may also be used.
  • Regenerated silk made by reducing waste silk and waste cocoons containing silk and then forming it into threads or sheets to be cut to strips, is also believed to fall under the present heading.
  • That group of compounds of which at least one is obtained by condensation polymerization from a'diamine and a dibasic carboxylic acid and of which one is now sold under the trade-mark Exton is very useful for my present purpose.
  • Another protein plastic which may be used is obtained by extracting the protein from the rei'use remaining after the oil has been extracted from soy beans, oiticica nuts. and other protein bearing substances. The extracted protein is properly reacted to form plastic substances.
  • oiticlca oil may be used as a plasticizer with styrene to make the latter more suitable for my purpose.
