  • System for Determining Wear to Rigging System Lines
    Publication number: 20070125060
    Abstract: A twisted rope for use in rigging systems that includes a differently colored yarn positioned within at least one strand. As the rope is worn, the differently colored yarn will become exposed, thereby serving as a visual indicator of wear to the rope. A plastic strip printed with identifying information about the rope is placed within the fibers of the rope during manufacture may also be positioned with a strand of the twisted rope. A user can simply unravel one end of the rope and read the information printed on the strip to determine, for example, the composition of the rope, when the rope was manufactured, the load-bearing characteristics of the rope, and who was the rope manufacturer.
