DEVICE FOR SEALING END OF SYNTHETIC ROPE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: securing systems with use of ropes. SUBSTANCE: device has a casing with a cone cavity, two elastic members and two antifriction linings. A cone insert with the elastic member is placed inside of the cone cavity of the casing. Untwisted strands of the rope are placed along a generatrix of the elastic member by uniform fashion. One of the antifriction linings is placed between one elastic member and the cone insert, the other antifriction lining is placed between the cone cavity of the casing and the other elastic member. Each elastic member is made of fibrous material, whose fibres are oriented along the generatrix of the cone cavity of the casing or the insert. The antifriction lining may be in the form of a polymeric film. Both elastic members may be rigidly connected with the untwisted rope outside of the cone cavity of the casing. The fibrous material of the elastic member may have a modulus of longitudinal elasticity, being equal or more, than that modulus of the fibrous material of the rope. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of sealing an end of a rope. 4 cl, 1 dwg
