  • Patent number: 6905451
    Abstract: The rope handle forming machine is made of a cylinder having a channel therein, an U-shaped forming plate mounted along a horizontal plane tangent to the top surface of the cylinder on one side of the cylinder, and a D-shaped forming plate mounted in a same plane as the U-shaped forming plate on the other side of the cylinder, facing the U-shaped forming plate. A rope feeder is provided along the horizontal axis of the cylinder to feed a rope stock into the channel. A cutoff blade is used to severe a rope length from the rope stock. A push-up blade mounted in the channel moves upward when the cylinder rotates and the channel reaches a twelve o'clock position, to raise the rope length above the mentioned plane. The forming plates are movable toward each other along the plane to retain and form the rope length into an U-shaped form.
