Layered Rope With Alternating Wraps and Varied Bundle Diameters

The patent applies local quality by creating different bundle types with different diameters at different locations within the rope structure. First type bundles have a first diameter, second type bundles have a second diameter, and third type bundles have a third diameter. This allows optimization of torque resistance in specific regions without uniformly increasing all wire dimensions, thereby reducing overall wire quantity while maintaining required strength.

The patent segments the rope into multiple layers with different bundle configurations. The first layer contains first type bundles, the second layer contains second type bundles, and the third layer contains third type bundles. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each layer's contribution to torque resistance, enabling reduced total wire count while maintaining overall structural strength.

By concentrating wire density in specific local regions through different bundle types rather than uniformly distributing all wires, the patent maintains torque resistance while reducing overall wire quantity. This localized approach prevents excessive wire accumulation that would increase breakage risk, optimizing the balance between strength and reliability.

The segmented layer structure allows each layer to contribute differently to overall strength. The first, second, and third layers with their respective bundle types create a distributed strength architecture that reduces stress concentration and minimizes breakage risk compared to a uniform wire distribution.

The patent creates different bundle diameters at different locations: first type bundles with first diameter in the first layer, second type bundles with second diameter in the second layer, and third type bundles with third diameter in the third layer. This local variation allows optimization of torque resistance in inner layers while maintaining smaller outer bundle diameters that reduce contact area and improve abrasion resistance.

The patent transitions from uniform bundle arrangements to a multi-dimensional structure with varying bundle diameters across different layers. By utilizing the radial dimension of the rope cross-section, the patent achieves both increased torque resistance through inner layer bundle configuration and improved abrasion resistance through optimized outer layer bundle geometry.
