Embodiment Construction

[0026]Referring initially to FIGS. 1A and 1B of the drawing, depicted therein is a composite rope structure 20 constructed in accordance with, and embodying, the principles of the present invention. The composite rope structure 20 comprises a plurality of formed composite strands 22 and a core strand 24. As perhaps best shown in FIG. 7, the formed composite strands 22 are preformed in a substantially helical configuration such that a plurality (two or more) of these formed composite strands 22 are combined with the core strand 24 to form the composite rope structure 20. The example composite rope structure 20 comprises six composite strands 22 surrounding a single core strand 24.

[0027]The composition and fabrication of the example formed composite strands 22 will now be described in further detail. Depicted in FIG. 2 of the drawing is an example blank forming system 30. The blank forming system 30 comprises a plurality of feed rollers 32, with each feed roller 32 containing a length...

Abstract

A rope structure comprising a plurality of formed composite strands. Each of the formed composite strands comprises fiber material and matrix material. The fiber material within the matrix material is twisted. The shapes of the plurality of formed composite strands are predetermined to facilitate combination of the plurality of composite strands into the rope structure.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 930,853 filed May 18, 2007. This application also claims priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 931,088 filed May 19, 2007. The contents of all related applications listed above are incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to composite rope structures and to systems and methods for making composite rope structures.BACKGROUND[0003]The need often exists for a rope structure to be arranged in tension between two objects. The characteristics of a given type of rope structure determine whether that type of rope structure is suitable for a specific intended use. Characteristics of rope structures include breaking strength, elongation, flexibility, weight, and surface characteristics such as abrasion resistance and coefficient of friction. Additionally, environmental factors such as heat, cold, moisture, exposure to UV...
