Securing cable for securing movable objects
Described herein is a securing cable comprising three, four or more braids, woven fabrics or laid scrims consisting of fibres or yarns and being disposed one on top of the other, wherein the securing cable has a chain as core. The structure of the described securing cable ensures not only improved protection against mechanical action, such as sawing, cutting with a bolt cutter or tearing, by the presence of the three, four or more braids or woven fabrics made up of fibres or yarns, but also improved cutting resistance with respect to sharp-edged objects, such as knives, for example, by the presence of the chain. The selection of the materials which are used for producing the laid scrims, braids or woven fabrics additionally allows effective protection against the action of heat, fire and cold.
1 . A securing cable for securing objects, comprising
(a) a chain as a core;
(b) a plurality of filamentous structures surrounding the chain, each of the plurality of filamentous structures comprising multifilaments, yarns, or twines, the plurality of filamentous structures arranged loosely around the chain; and
(c) three or more laid, braided, or woven sheet-like fabrics consisting of fibers or yarns, each of which are arranged coaxially with one another, and which together surround the plurality of filamentous structures and the chain.
2 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the fibers or yarns for forming the laid, braided and/or woven fabrics are selected from the group consisting of man-made fibers and/or natural fibers or yarns consisting thereof.
3 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 2 , characterized in that the man-made fibers are selected from the group consisting of fibers of natural polymers, fibers of synthetic polymers, fibers of inorganic substances and metal fibers.
4 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 3 , characterized in that the fibers of natural polymers are selected from the group consisting of fibers of regenerated cellulose, such as viscose, modal, lyocell and cupro; fibers of cellulose esters, such as acetate fibers and triacetate fibers; protein fibers, such as regenerated protein fibers, modified soybean protein fibers, maize protein fibers, casein fibers and artificial spun fibers; polylactide fibers, alginate fibers, chitin fibers, elastodiene fibers, and biobased polyamide fibers.
5 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 3 , characterized in that the fibers of synthetic polymers are selected from the group consisting of fibers of polyester, such as for example polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT); polyamide, polyimide, polyamide-imide, aramid, polyacrylic, modacrylic, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polychloride, elasthane, polybenzoxazole, polybenzimidazole, polyurea, melamine, polyphenylene sulfide, trivinyl, elastolefin, elastomultiester, polyvinyl alcohol, vinylal, polycarbonate; and polystyrene.
6 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 3 , characterized in that the fibers of inorganic substances are selected from the group consisting of ceramic fibers, quartz fibers, glass fibers, basalt fibers, carbon fibers, boron fibers, crystal fibers, slag fibers and nanotube fibers.
7 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 2 , characterized in that the laid, braided and/or woven fabrics contain mixtures or combinations of the man-made fibers and natural fibers or yarns consisting thereof.
8 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the chain consists of metal or a composite material.
9 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the chain is designed as a curb chain or an anchor chain.
10 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the chain has a thickness of 8 mm or less for applications in the area of protection against theft and a thickness of up to 30 mm for industrial applications.
11 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the securing cable further comprises a UV impermeable casing.
12 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the securing cable comprises as an outer sheath a further braided or woven fabric, which consists of fibers or yarn and can be printed on.
13 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that a metallic layer can be arranged between each braided-fabric or woven-fabric layer.
14 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 13 , characterized in that the metallic layer comprises metal wires, metal foil or a metallic coating of the textile fibers, wherein the metallic layer is in particular of a closed form.
15 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the casing has abrasive substances and/or in that the casing comprises a plastics material, in particular Teflon, acrylic and/or silicone.
16 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the securing cable has a water-repellent impregnation applied to the outer casing.
17 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that at least one electrical conductor is arranged in the securing cable and alarm means are provided, which trigger an alarm when the electrical conductor is severed.
18 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the securing cable has an eye and/or a loop at both ends.
19 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the securing cable has at one end an eye or loop and at the other end a suitable securing element, which can be locked in a closing or securing device.
20 . The securing cable as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the securing cable has at the ends parts of a closing or securing device, which interact with one another.
