Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2012150469A2] The invention relates to a method of coupling first and second ropes together, such as to form a mooring line. In one embodiment, a method of coupling a first rope (100) having a core (112) comprising a plurality of multi-strand subropes (1 14) to a second rope (200) having a core comprising a plurality of multi-strand subropes is disclosed. The method comprises the step of forming an eye end termination (116) on the first rope (100) by coupling at least one pair of subropes (114) in the first rope core (112) together to thereby form at least part of a first loop (150, 152) of the eye end termination; and coupling at least one further pair of subropes (114) in the first rope core (112) together to thereby form at least part of a further loop (150, 152) of the eye end termination, said further loop being separate from the first loop. The method also comprises forming an eye end termination (216) on the second rope (200) by coupling at least one pair of subropes in the second rope core together to thereby form at least part of a first loop (250, 252) of the eye end termination; and coupling at least one further pair of subropes in the second rope core together to thereby form at least part of a further loop (250, 252) of the eye end termination, said further loop being separate from the first loop. The loops of the eye end termination of the first rope and the loops of the eye end termination of the second rope are then mounted on a connecting spool (58) to couple the ropes together.
