ROPE AND METHOD FOR ITS FLAW DETECTION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC D07B1/00 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention proposes a rope structure that contains an organic core with electronic markers - RFID transponders with the number of antennae of not less than the number of gaps between strands in one layer, which are discretely integrated into its structure, and their cross-sectional size provides arrangement of antennae in gaps between strands in one layer. Antennae are made from nonmagnetic material, coated with an insulating layer and laid into gaps between strands in one layer; at that, the gaps are filled with polymer material.

EFFECT: creation of the structure of the rope having additional technical characteristics, and namely records, storages, read-outs and transfers of information in space and time, as well as flaw detection of ropes as per available gaps between strands in one layer.
