  • the invention relates to a rope having an eye, the rope comprising a first rope portion and a second rope portion that are spliced into each other for forming a spliced connection for obtaining the eye.

  • Such ropes having an eye are used in many industrial fields. By for example arranging the eye around a pillar or a hook or bollard that is attached to an object, a towing force can be exerted on the object.
  • Ropes with an eye are frequently used in maritime applications, such as for towing or anchoring of
  • the rope can hardly be used for towing or anchoring.
  • Obtaining the eye is a classic art wherein the second rope portion is formed from an end of the rope and the first rope portion is located at a distance from the end of the rope, measured along the rope. The second rope portion is then spliced in

  • a spliced connection can be obtained that has a reduced thickness compared to known prior art ropes.
  • a thinner spliced connection significantly decreases a vulnerability of the rope for damage e.g. due to grinding. For a relatively thick spliced connection a chance to grind against other objects is relatively high.
  • the relatively thick spliced connection of known prior art ropes forms a rather stiff part of the rope. Without the relatively thick spliced connection of known prior art ropes, a handling flexibility of the rope may be increased.
  • splicing' may comprise a broad range of methods, which may be known as such, of interconnecting the first and second rope portion to each other, such as weaving, braiding, twisting, sliding, and the like.
  • splicing may comprises weaving and/or braiding the first and second rope portion into each other.
  • Such splicing may enable forming a relatively strong spliced connection.
  • Patent application EP 0 012 406 shows a rope having an eye that is formed by means of clamps. In the rope described by EP 0 012 406, the clamps are needed for fixing rope ends that are partly winded around each other.
  • the first and second rope portion are formed from an end portion of the rope. This means that, before splicing, the first rope portion and the second rope portion may terminate at a rope end.
  • the rope may extend from the first rope portion in only one direction along the rope and may be discontinued in the other direction along the rope.
  • the rope may extend from the second rope portion in only one direction along the rope and may be discontinued in the other direction along the rope.
  • the first rope portion and the second rope portion are located approximately in parallel along the rope.
  • a terminating part of the eye comprises the first and second rope portion.
  • the spliced connection extends along at least part of the eye. This can be achieved for example by directing the first rope portion and the second rope portion in different directions along the eye. In this way a rather smooth eye can be obtained, while the relatively thick spliced connection can be prevented.
  • the first rope portion and the second rope portion can be directed in substantially the same directions along the eye.
  • the spliced connection extends along the at least part of the eye at least between mutually opposing parts of the eye.
  • an imaginary straight line from the first rope portion to the second rope portion may cross a region outlined by the eye.
  • the spliced connection may extend from one of the mutually opposing parts to the other one of the mutually opposing parts.
  • the spliced connection has a curved shape. In this embodiment, a length of the spliced connection is extended so that a strength of the spliced connection may be increased.
  • the spliced connection extends along substantially the whole eye. In this way a thickness of the eye is
  • the way the rope parts shoot away after failure is considered more favourable. It is therefore expected that an amount of the accidents can be reduced when using the rope of this embodiment. More in particular, in the tests failure often occurred in one of the eye branches relatively close to a branching point from which the two eye branches emanate out of a base part of the rope. Then, after failure, the failed branch of the eye may shoot away around a pillar around which the eye was arranged before failure. This is believed to release a significant amount of energy before the failed rope shoots back towards to other end of the rope, thereby reducing the energy amount in the failed rope. As a result, the base part of the rope may shoot away less violently which may reduce the amount and/or severance of accidents.

It may be clear that the thickness and/or cross section of the first rope portion and the second rope portion may be approximately equal and/or similar when the first rope portion and the second rope portion are spliced into each other. Said thickness of the first rope portion may be defined by a maximum distance between outer parts of the first rope portion with the first rope portion and the second rope portion being spliced into each other, said distance being measured in a direction perpendicular to a direction along which the spliced connection extends.
  • Said thickness of the second rope portion may be defined by a maximum distance between outer parts of the second rope portion with the first rope portion and the second rope portion being spliced into each other, said distance being measured in a direction perpendicular to a direction along which the spliced connection extends. It may be clear that, when the cross section of the first rope portion and the second rope portion are approximately equal and/or similar, a total area of the first rope portion along a plane of the cross- section and a total area of the second rope portion along a plane of the cross-section may be approximately equal and/or similar.
