Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a functional rope that can be used for a variety of purposes. [Background technology]

[0002] The applicant previously obtained Patent No. 5338018 for a perforated rope, and in Example 1 shown in Figures 2 to 4 of that patent, disclosed a fastening method using a perforated rope made by welding two nylon ropes together. With such perforated ropes, depending on the intended use, it is difficult to fasten the rope end by simply inserting the rope end into one hole, so the rope end is firmly fastened by passing the tip through multiple holes.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5338018 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As described above, the present invention has the cumbersome task of fixing the rope end by passing the tip end through a plurality of holes. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the multipurpose functional rope of the present invention is a perforated rope having a tangled section in which two elastic ropes are tangled at multiple points at predetermined intervals, and having multiple continuous ring sections formed therein, and is characterized in that the ring section at the tip is formed so that its width in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the perforated rope is larger than the width of the perforated rope, and both ends of the tangled section are fixed.

[0006] The longitudinal direction of the entangled portion is perpendicular to the connecting direction of the rings.

[0007] The longitudinal direction of the entangled portion is parallel to the connecting direction of the rings.

[0008] Furthermore, the entangled portion is covered with a fixing member. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the multi-purpose functional rope of the present invention, the rope tip can be fixed simply by inserting the rope tip into only one ring portion, making it extremely easy to fix the rope end. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] FIG. 1 is an external view showing a portion of a first embodiment of a multipurpose rope according to the present invention. (a) shows the state in which the distal end is not inserted into a ring portion, and (b) shows the state in which the distal end is inserted into a ring portion. In this embodiment, two elastic ropes 1, 1 have entanglement portions 3 at a fixed interval. The entanglement ends 3a at both ends of the entanglement portions 3 are fixed by welding or the like, and a ring portion is formed between two adjacent entanglement portions 3. The longitudinal direction of the entanglement portions is perpendicular to the direction in which the rings are connected. A distal ring portion 2 is integrally formed at the distal end of a perforated rope formed with multiple connected ring portions in this manner. When this distal ring portion 2 is inserted into any ring portion of the perforated rope, the width of the distal ring portion 2 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the perforated rope is larger than the width of the perforated rope. Therefore, the distal ring portion 2 will not come loose even if pulled in the direction opposite to the insertion direction. In this embodiment, the two ropes 1, 1 are essentially a single rope, and therefore are considered to be two virtual ropes.

[0012] The same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 are used for each embodiment from FIG. 2 onwards, and detailed explanations will be omitted. FIG. 2 is an external view showing a part of a second embodiment of the multipurpose rope of the present invention, where (a) shows the state in which the tip is not inserted into the ring portion, and (b) shows the state in which the tip is inserted into the ring portion. The multipurpose rope of this embodiment also has a similar appearance to the multipurpose rope of FIG. 1, but differs from FIG. 1 in the shape of the entanglement portion 3 and the way the two ropes are entangled. The rest of the configuration is the same as the multipurpose rope of FIG. 1.

The longitudinal direction of the entangled portions is parallel to the direction in which the rings are connected. A tip ring portion 2 is integrally formed at the tip of a perforated rope formed in this way so that multiple ring portions are connected. When this tip ring portion 2 is inserted into any ring portion of the perforated rope, the width of the tip ring portion 2 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the perforated rope is formed larger than the width of the perforated rope, so that the tip ring portion 2 will not come off even if it is pulled in the direction opposite to the insertion direction.
