Abstract: A rope-like structure, such as a core-spun rope, a cord or a rope, disclosed wherein the individual fibers, threads, strands and/or cords are provided in the form of longitudinal fibers of a longitudinal fiber structure which are joined to another fiber which extends in a substantially crosswise manner or at any particular angle in relation to the longitudinal fibers, such that the longitudinal fibers of the longitudinal fiber structure are mutually non-slip and essentially cannot move backwards in relation to each other, wherein the other fibers are untied, at least on one occasion, in relation to the longitudinal fibers and the latter are thus retained thereby.

Abstract: A lifting belt sling for lifting loads is comprised of a tubular structure having at least two chambers whereby forming, as one unit, a chamber tube that is contiguous over the width. Loosely inserted inserts are located inside the at least two chambers and endlessly extend from one end of the chamber tube to the other end thereof. The inserts overlap the ends of the chamber tube so that they form loops at this location, whereby the inserts, when situated in the loop area, are covered by a tube protective means. A protective tube, which surrounds the chamber tube and is formed by different weaves, significantly increases the resistance to abrasion, the resistance to cutting, and the edge strength. The lifting belt sling is designed for loads of up to 100 t.

Abstract: A sling for fixing or carrying load includes a tubular tissue or a tube-like tissue or fabric having two ends, one of the ends being narrower than or approximately as large as, and the other end being larger than or approximately as large as, the remaining tubular tissue located between the two ends. The two ends form a junction point by inserting the narrower end into the larger end and providing the narrower end with at least one seam in the area of the junction point, whereby the junction point is thinner, shorter, or narrower at a predefined strength than in conventional overlapping ends. The sling may be used in skiing, mountain climbing, and in the area of work safety.

Abstract: Rope-like structures, in particular, kernmantel ropes, cords and cables in which the individual fibres, threads or thread bundles are connected to each other such that the above are non-slip relative to each other. Such rope-like bodies have an improved resistance to extension and an improved knot stability. Kernmantel ropes have a proportion of the core fibres in the sheath region and connected therein to the sheath fibres, while a proportion of the sheath fibres lie in the core region and are connected therein to the core fibres, such that the at least one sheath is fixed to the at least one core, such that the above are non-slip relative to each other. Cords and cables with similar properties are disclosed. Such ropes are applicable in the field of work security, in water, sailing and mountain sports and for the fire service, army, police and rescue units and in Jacquard machines.

Abstract: A sling band for lifting loads is disclosed. The sling band has a first band, a second band and overlapping areas, whereby the ends of the bands lead into the overlapping areas. The first band includes first warp threads and the second band includes second warp threads, whereby the warp threads, together with weft threads, form a first and a second weave. In the overlapping areas, the warp threads are joined to one another where they form a web construction with the weft threads. The web construction includes at least one additional third weave that differs from the first and second weaves. A portion of the warp threads has a lower melting point than that of the remaining warp threads thus enabling the interwoven overlapping areas to be provided with increased strength using a weld.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rope-like structure (10), particular a core-spun rope, a cord and a rope, wherein the individual fibers, threads, strands and/or cords are provided in the form of longitudinal fibers of a longitudinal fiber structure (40) which are joined to another fiber (50) which extends in a substantially crosswise manner or at any particular angle in relation to the longitudinal fibers, such that the longitudinal fibers of the longitudinal fiber structure (40) are mutually non-slip and essentially cannot move backwards in relation to each other, wherein the other fibers (50) are untied, at least on one occasion, in relation to the longitudinal fibers and the latter are thus retained thereby.

Abstract: The invention relates to a securing element for fastening loads. Said element is configured as a rope, belt, strap or cord with openings arranged in a grid pattern, consisting of a combination of elastic, semi-elastic and non-elastic materials. The openings are designed to receive a fastening element and an additional identical or similar securing element can be looped through said openings. By attaching at least one fastening element, e.g. a hook, any length of securing element can be selected. When configured as a net, the securing element acts as a retaining net and can secure loads of any type. Natural and synthetic materials can be used individually or in combination to produce said element.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sling for fixing or carrying loads, consisting of a tubular tissue (4) or a tube-like tissue or fabric having two ends (5, 6), one of said ends being narrower than or approximately as large as, and the other end being larger than or approximately as large as, the remaining tubular tissue located between the two ends. The two ends (5, 6) form a junction point (7) by inserting the narrower end (5) into the larger end (6) and providing said narrower end (5) with at least one seam (8) in the area of the junction point (7), whereby the junction point (7) is thinner, shorter, or narrower at a predefined strength than in conventional overlapping ends. Disclosed are uses of such slings in skiing, mountain climbing, and in the area of work safety.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tensioning/relaxing element that comprises a base (3), at least one rotating shaft (4) mounted on said base, a mobile part (2) and a lashing device (1). Between said base (3) and the at least one shaft (4) at least one nonpositive and positive element (5, 6) is provided that tightly encloses the shaft (4). The first nonpositive and positive element (5), configured as a tensioning element, is firmly linked on the one side (5a) with a part (2) that is mobile vis-a-vis the base (3) and can be actuated on the other side (5b), with a variable and continuous pretension, via a first actuator (11), while the second nonpositive and positive element (6), configured as a relaxing element, is firmly linked on the one side (6a) with the base (3) and can be actuated on the other side (6b), with a variable and continuous pretension, via a second actuator (11′).

Abstract: The invention relates to fall arrester for damping a falling body, which substantially comprises a fall arrester element (3) that is linked with connecting elements (1, 2) via load suspension means (1′, 2′). The fall arrester element (3) consists of at least one fiber bundle of a thermoplastic polymer with a stress-elongation behavior that is characterized by a wide elongation range (&egr;1, &egr;2) in which a substantially continuous force transduction takes place. In a load situation, the fall arrester element (3) is subject to an elongation (&Dgr;L) from the instant when the load builds up to when the falling body comes to a stop. The decisive parameters for designing the fall arrester element (3) are the material used, the elongation behavior thereof and the length and number of fibers from which the material is made. The invention further relates to the use of said fall arrester in safety belts in vehicles, planes, high-speed trains, buses, motor bikes and in mountaineering.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sling band (20) for lifting loads. The sling band is comprised of a first band (3), of a second band (3′) and of overlapping areas (7, 7′), whereby the ends of the bands (3, 3′) lead into the overlapping areas (7, 7′). The first band (3) comprises first warp threads (8) and the second band (3′) comprises second warp threads (8′), whereby the warp threads (8, 8′), together with weft threads, form a first and a second weave whereas, in the overlapping areas (7, 7′), the warp threads (8, 8′) are joined to one another where they form a web construction with the weft threads. Said web construction comprises at least one additional third weave that differs from the first and second weave. A portion of the warp threads (8, 8′) has a lower melting point than that of the remaining warp threads thus enabling the interwoven overlapping areas (7, 7′) to be subsequently provided with an increased strength by means of a weld.
