  • Rope structures and rope displacement systems and methods for lifting, lowering, and pulling objects
    Patent number: 8387505
    Abstract: A rope structure comprising a plurality of fibers combined to form a plurality of yarns which are in turn combined to form a plurality of strands. The plurality of strands are combined using a single braid process to form the rope structure defining a void space. At least one of the fibers, the yarns, and the strands are configured substantially to reduce a volume of the void space and thereby maintain a shape of the rope structure when the rope structure is under load.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 22, 2011
    Date of Patent: March 5, 2013
    Assignee: Samson Rope Technologies
    Inventors: Chia-Te Chou, Howard P. Wright, Jr.
