  • Patent number: 8256200
    Abstract: A high-security cable is provided, wherein the high-security cable is capable of achieving a smoothing of a work-to-break energy curve. The high-security cable is manufactured of a mixture of plastic yarns or of plastic yarns and metal wires, wherein the cable comprises a first constituent part of untwisted or twisted yarns, or untwisted or twisted yarns and metal wires, a second constituent part of doubled yarn, the doubled yarn manufactured of plastic yarns or of plastic yarns and metal wires, and a third constituent part of cord manufactured from the doubled yarns, wherein the doubled yarn is manufactured from plastic yarns or of plastic yarns and metal wires. The high-security cable can be used as a safety arrester cable, and can also be used to form a netting to serve as safety arrester netting or falling-rock protection netting.

  • Patent number: 7305814
    Abstract: Safety arrester cables are provided to connect a wheel of a racing car to its chassis. The safety arrester cable is formed of a multitude of untwisted windings that form closed loops. An open tab is formed at both ends of each of the windings. The windings in the safety arrester cable are manufactured to be comprised of more than 70% nickel or an austenitic Ni—Cr alloy. A safety arrester cable comprised of such wires, and having a diameter of about 12 mm, achieves a maximal tear force of about 58 kN and a work absorption until reaching a maximal tear force of 8,900 N.m.

  • Patent number: 7107751
    Abstract: The safety of safety cables may be improved, whereby the system of cable and attachment eye is embodied together such that a greater work-to-break energy is possible. The cable is prepared from a blended yarn, comprising fibres made from relatively rigid, highly tear-resistant plastic filaments from a selection of PBO, carbon fibres and p-aramides and a proportion of fibres made from relatively elastic plastic filaments from selection of m-aramides, PBI, polyurethane (elastane) and polyester. The arrester cable is produced from the blended yarn the ends of which have, for example, been immersed in a resin. The end of the cable thus rests in an attachment eye, comprising a conical tubular section, in which the thickened end of the cable is held by wedging.
