Definitions

  • Splicing constructions should be easy to fabricate, use reasonably small size fittings, and should develop the full strength of the rope. Splices of the conventional kind either do not hold securely or cause a disturbance in the arrangement of the strands of which the rope is made to such an extent that one of the strands is subjected to a greater portion of the load that it would normally carry, causing it to part at less than the rated load of the rope.
  • Fig. 5 is a cross-section on the line 55 of Fig. 4;
  • Fig. 6 is a longitudinal partial section similar to Fig. 4 after completion of the splice
  • Fig. 7 is a cross-section on the line 1-1 of Fig. 6;
  • Fig. 8 shows the first step of a modified method
  • Fig. 9 shows the second step of this method
  • Fig. 10 is a longitudinal partial section of a completed splice
  • Fig. 11 is a cross-section on line I i--l i oi Fig. 8.
  • rope is used, it must be understood that what is meant is a stranded structure which may be a strand, a rope formed of a number of strands or a cable stranded of individual ropes.
  • present invention is not limited to structures laid up for their entire length. For instance, a braided structure can be used if it has a laid section of sufficient length to permit formation of the described splice.
  • a rope l0 comprising a number a of strands H, which may be laid about a core i2,
  • the eye is formed by bringing the unlaid strands about the standing part or the rope with the laid portion closely adjacent thereto.
  • the cut end is of the core is then close to the body of the rope as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the strands are then wound about the standing part of the rope in such a fashion that they lie within the valleys between the adjacent strands of the rope as shown in Fig. 3. They are then secured in place. This is done in the shown form by the use of ferrules
  • ferrules may be secured in place by swaging or by simple pressing. The amount or swaging or pressing required is dependent to a certain extent upon the distance apart of these ferrules;
  • a further action is engendered by the helical disposition of the unlaid strands about the body of the rope in the valleys between the strands thereof as a result of this unwinding tendency.
  • Unwinding cannot actually takeplace without the strands climbing out of the valleys in the rope body, which is prevented by the ferrule l5, the result being a jamming of the strand against the rope body.
  • a modified formof the present invention is shown, in which an eye is formed in a slightly diiferentmanner.
  • the rope 20, comprising strands 2
  • the core is then cut at 23, and the strands 2l-B which surrounded the cut off portion of the core are unlald from each other and helically disposed
  • the strands 60 about the standing part of the rope. 2l-A are relaid about the core and strands 2 I-B, starting at the unstranded end, forming the eye 24.
  • strands Zl-A are then unlaid and helically wrapped about. the standing part, in the manner shown in Fig. 10.
  • the strands 2l-A and 2l-B are thus disposed about the standing part of the rope in the same manner as those of Figures 1 to 3.
  • a single ferrule, or, preferably, two ferrules 25 and 26 are then pressed,
  • a metallic wire rope connection comprising a section of rope having a laid portion and a second section having a laid portion and a splayed portion, both laid portions 'being of the same direction of lay, the strands of the splayed portion being of uniform cross sectional area throughout their length and wrapped around the laid portion of the first-mentioned section, said strands lying along and in the valleys of the laid portion that they overlie, and said splayed portion being directly connected to the strands of the laid portion of the second mentioned section and lying entirely outside of the laid portion of the first-mentioned section, and a fitting retaining the strands of the splayed portion in 30 position.
  • a metallic wire rope connection com rising a section of rope having a laid portion and a second section having a laid portion and terminating in a splayed portion, both laid portions having the same direction of lay, the strands of the splayed portion being of uniform cross sectional area throughout their length and wrapped around the laid portion of the first mentioned section, said strands lying along and in the valleys of the laid portion that they overlie, and said strands being directly connected to the strands of ,the laid portion of the second mentioned section and lying entirely outside of the, strands of the laid portion of the first mentioned section, and a compression fitting pressing said splayed strands against the rope they overlie for at least part of their length.
  • An eye fora length of laid metallic wire rope comprising a bight formed in the rope, the laid strands of the bight terminating in a splayed portion, the strands of the splayed portion being wrapped around the standing part of the rope and lying in the valleys between the strands of the portion of the standing part of the rope that they overlie and lying entirely outside thereof, and compression fittings pressing said splayed strands against the rope they overlie for at least part of their splayed length.
