Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022223360A1] A method of making a splice termination for a synthetic fiber rope, said synthetic fiber rope comprising a fiber core and at least a layer of synthetic fiber strands twisted around said fiber core, said method comprising steps:(a) Providing a synthetic fiber rope having a laid construction and an unrestrainedend,(b) Measuring tails having a length of L1 from the end of the rope, applying cloth or tape on the synthetic fiber rope for a length L2 from the end of tails to form a taped section,(c) Bending the synthetic fiber rope at the point having a length of about L1+L2/2 from the end of the rope to form an eye,(d) Untwisting the core and the strands of the tails, dividing and bundling up the yarns equally amongst the number strands of the outer layer of the synthetic fiber rope so that forming a plurality of bundled tails,(e)Tucking and pulling the plurality of bundled tail(s) respectively through between respective strand(s) of the outer layer of the synthetic fiber rope next to the taped section to form a tucked section,(f) Repeating step of tucking and pulling the plurality of bundled tail(s) respectively through between respective strand(s) of the outer layer of the synthetic fiber rope next to the previously tucked section to form a spliced termination.
