Abstract
Abstract A method for the manufacture of fiber ropes, according to which a braid with or without a core is produced, and this assembly, made of high performance, degreased fibers is impregnated by passing it through an impregnation bath, containing polyester urethanes and some aromatic isocyanate, which constitutes the reticulant, and then drying.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
A method of making braided ropes of aromatic polyamide fibers in a manner to provide high strength, little elongation and high flexibility and which are resistant to deterioration comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of strands of aromatic polyamide fibers, braiding said fibers together to form a rope, impregnating said braid with an aqueous dispersion of a flurocarbon resin, heating said rope to remove moisture therefrom, applying a predetermined tension on said rope, and removing said rope.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
78 words
A method of making braided ropes of aromatic polyamide fibers in a manner to provide high strength, little elongation and high flexibility and which are resistant to deterioration comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of strands of aromatic polyamide fibers, braiding said fibers together to form a rope, impregnating said braid with an aqueous dispersion of a flurocarbon resin, heating said rope to remove moisture therefrom, applying a predetermined tension on said rope, and removing said rope.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1 in which the step of impregnating said rope includes a non-ionic wetting agent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1 including the step of extruding a sheath onto said rope after the rope has been heated.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 3 in which said sheath is made of a polyurethane elastomer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of claim 1 including the step of applying a polyurethane wax to said fibers to prevent the braids from adhering to each other.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method of claim 1 including the step of glazing the rope by passing the rope through a die after the heating step to compress the particles and braids.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
79 words
A method of making braided ropes of aromatic polyamide fibers in a manner to provide high strength, little elongation and high flexibility and which are resistant to deterioration comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of strands of aromatic polyamide fibers, braiding said fibers together to form a rope, impregnating said braid with a solution of polyester urethane and aromatic isocyanate, heating said rope to remove moisture therefrom, applying a predetermined tension on said rope, and removing said rope.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
79 words
A method of making braided ropes of aromatic polyamide fibers in a manner to provide high strength, little elongation and high flexibility and which are resistant to deterioration comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of strands of aromatic polyamide fibers, braiding said fibers together to form a rope, impregnating said braid with a solution of polyester urethane and aromatic isocyanate, heating said rope to remove moisture therefrom, applying a predetermined tension on said rope, and removing said rope.
