Abstract: A rope or line having a permanent loop of fixed diameter spliced in each end thereof provides for the suspension of innumerable articles in various industries, but is particularly well suited for use in underground mining, where it may be used to support continuous miner machine cables, electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic lines, air ventilation ducts, etc., above the floor of the mine drift. The line is preferably formed of a braided synthetic fiber which has been treated to provide flame retardant properties and which is also electrically non-conductive. Treated, braided polypropylene is a suitable material for the present double looped line. The closed loops are formed by passing the first end of the line diametrically through its opposite portion, and then coaxially through that same portion and diametrically through the portion captured within the hollow braided core to secure the first end therein and to form a closed loop.

Abstract: A method for forming a braided rope. Twisted yarns are first braided together to form braided strands, and the braided strands are then braided together to form the rope. The diameter of the individual twisted yarns is kept to a minimum, thereby reducing the number of twisting stages required to form the yarns and also permitting heat stretching treatment using existing systems. Moreover, in-line connections can be made within the individual strands using conventional braided rope splices, which both eliminates the need to use long splices during manufacture of the rope and enables individual strands to be spliced in the field to so as to repair snags, cuts, and other service damage without having to replace an entire length of the rope.

The yarn is unwound, the entry of the yarn into the suction tube is determined by means of a sensor disposed therein, and the yarn length unwound from the winding bobbin and entering the suction tube is determined.

Abstract: A yarn splicing device and method provides for overlapping yarn ends from different spools or packages of yarn to form a smooth, continuous splice. The device allows the operator to place the different yarn ends in a pair of clamps that are separated by a pneumatic commingling jet. After the yarn is clamped into place the yarn ends, which consist of multi-filament yarns, are pneumatically commingled and thereafter the clamps are rotated in opposite directions from the commingling jet to stretch the splice junction to reduce the diameter thereof. Thereafter the clamps release the spliced yarn so it is available for removal and further processing such as texturizing. The splicing method described provides a fast, efficient method which provides for uniform yarn diameter which does not slow or obstruct other yarn processing steps by snagging or breaking at the splice junction.
