Abstract: Synthetic string, particularly for tennis rackets. According to the invention, surface dimples are formed on the string after the string is produced. A device for forming the dimples on the string is also disclosed. The invention thereby facilitates stringing, provides a better grip of the ball on the racket face, and provides a novel appearance.

Abstract: The invention concerns a composite synthetic delaminated string in particular for a tennis racket. The string includes central monofilaments surrounded by multifilament yarns, the assembly being impregnated and coated with polyurethane and is subjected to tensile bending after it has been formed. The invention is useful for tennis strings with novel appearance, with long life span and quick reaction when hitting a ball.

Abstract: Synthetic cord, specifically for tennis racket. According to the invention, the cord consists of a core, which consists of at least one small polyester monofilament (1), surrounded by small monofilaments (2), where a polyester elastomer layer (3) is enclosed between the various component layers. Applications: tennis cords, for easy cording, featuring a long life span, and a sharp reaction to the impact of a ball.

Abstract: The invention concerns a composite synthetic string in particular for a tennis racket. The invention is characterised in that the string consists of central monofilaments (3) surrounded by multifilament yarns (2), the assembly being impregnated and coated with polyurethane (1) and is subjected to tractive bending after it has been formed. The invention is useful for tennis strings with novel appearance, with long life span and quick reaction when hitting a ball.

Abstract: Composite synthetic string, in particular for a tennis racket. According to the invention, the string is made up of central monofilaments surrounded by mono-filament threads and by multifilament threads, the assembly being impregnated and covered in polyurethane. The string is applicable to tennis rackets having increased lifetime and that react in lively manner under the impact of a ball.

Abstract: An electrocarrier cable has conductor elements and support or carrier elements. The conductors are lapped on insulating cores and are enclosed in fluorinated sheaths to form conductor elements which are stranded to an elongated central core, preferably with interleaved support elements. A braid of relatively inextensible fibers, i.e., aramide fibers, encloses the conductor elements and is coated with a polyurethane sheath. The cable is arranged such that the aramide fibers fail in tension before the conductors fail, and is particularly useful in a self-supporting cable for carrying low level currents, such as in the field of oceanography.
