Abstract
Rope-like structures, in particular, kernmantel ropes, cords and cables in which the individual fibres, threads or thread bundles are connected to each other such that the above are non-slip relative to each other. Such rope-like bodies have an improved resistance to extension and an improved knot stability. Kernmantel ropes have a proportion of the core fibres in the sheath region and connected therein to the sheath fibres, while a proportion of the sheath fibres lie in the core region and are connected therein to the core fibres, such that the at least one sheath is fixed to the at least one core, such that the above are non-slip relative to each other. Cords and cables with similar properties are disclosed. Such ropes are applicable in the field of work security, in water, sailing and mountain sports and for the fire service, army, police and rescue units and in Jacquard machines.
