ABSTRACT:
An accumulator particularly adapted for mooring instruments in an ocean environment. The accumulator includes a solid rubber core surrounded by a nylon overbraid. The nylon overbraid is seized by means of high tensile strength tape to the rubber core at intervals along its length. The ends of the accumulator are terminated in loops surrounding steel thimbles. The loops are formed by standard braid splicing techniques. The accumulator is capable of elongation to three times its relaxed length and has an ultimate breaking strength in excess of 15,000 lbs.
