  • Patent number: 6563054
    Abstract: The invention includes a composite cable having a plurality of strands (10, 12) stranded around a composite synthetic core (5) with a concentric structure. The core (5) has a nucleus (11) formed by a bundle of parallel synthetic fibers extending along the cable longitudinal direction, and of a compact thermoplastic sheath (13) enclosing the nucleus (11) and serving as winding support for the strands.

  • Publication number: 20020189227
    Abstract: A cable includes a plurality of strands around a core, where the space between the strands and/or between core and strands is filled with a polyurethane-based polymer material. The cable is produced by depositing the polymer material over the core and/or strands with a coating device a certain distance upstream of the cabling point. The polymer's composition and coating point are determined so that the strands are placed around the core when the polymerization of the compound is sufficiently advanced so that the polymer formed is in a viscoplastic state suitable to form an approximately continuous adherent coating layer, but still sufficiently fluid to insinuate into the interstices between core and strands and between the strands.
