  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20070063583
    Abstract: A crawlertrack for a ski trail grooming machine comprises a number of parallel belts joined to one another by cross members. Each belt is made of an elastomer reinforced by a textile carcass. The belt has a row of holes for attaching the cross member. The supporting warp threads of the carcass are made of aramid and flatly extend parallel to the outer sides of the belt.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20060103110
    Abstract: Safety arrester cables for automobile racing sport are required in order to prevent the wheel from flying away in an uncontrolled manner with a breakage of its suspension. Safety arrester cables purely of plastic which have been applied until now are to be replaced by safety arrester cables which for the greater part are of metal. At the same time it has been shown that surprisingly the best results are achieved with a cable of a multitude of untwisted windings which form closed loops and in each case an open tab is formed at their two ends, if with this, this safety arrester cable is manufactured from more than 70% of a wire of Ni or of an austenitic Ni—Cr alloy. A cable manufactured in this manner with a diameter of about 12 mm mustered a maximal tear force of about 58 kN, wherein a work absorption until reaching the maximal tear force of 8,900 N.m was achieved. These completely surprising values permit the manufacture of such cables for the above-mentioned purposes.
