Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A multiconductor electric armored towing rope, comprising a three strand helically preformed cable, each said strand comprising an electrically conductive low tensile strength first wire having a first uniform diameter along its entire lengths, a nonconductive covering surrounding the first wire, a plurality of second wires of high-tensile strength metal having a second uniform diameter along their entire lengths surrounding said covering and a plurality of third wires of high-tensile strength metal having a third uniform diameter along their entire lengths, the lay of the second and third wires being the same, and said second and third diameters being such that adjacent wires of both pluralities will be in contact with each other along their entire lengths.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
A multiconductor electric armored towing rope, comprising a three strand helically preformed cable, each said strand comprising an electrically conductive low tensile strength first wire having a first uniform diameter along its entire lengths, a nonconductive covering surrounding the first wire, a plurality of second wires of high-tensile strength metal having a second uniform diameter along their entire lengths surrounding said covering and a plurality of third wires of high-tensile strength metal having a third uniform diameter along their entire lengths, the lay of the second and third wires being the same, and said second and third diameters being such that adjacent wires of both pluralities will be in contact with each other along their entire lengths.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The invention as defined in claim 1, wherein additional first conductive wires are included within the nonconductive covering.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The invention as defined in claim 1, wherein said first wire is surrounded by a first nonconductive coating, a braided fabric covering, and a second nonconductive coating, respectively.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The invention as defined in claim 3, wherein additional first conductive wires are included with the first nonconductive coating.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
54 words
The invention as defined in claim 1, wherein said multiconductor electric armored towing rope also includes three seven strand preformed filler strands, each filler strand being laid respectively between a pair of said first mentioned three preformed strands, the diameter of each said filler strand being less than the diameter of a first strand.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
The invention as defined in claim 5, wherein said filler strands comprise high-tensile strength wires.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
The invention as defined in claim 5, wherein said filler strands comprise seven wires of galvanized steel.
