ABSTRACT:
A flexible, high strength steel cable having a continuous, flexible outer covering of vulcanized rubber thereon is disclosed. The rubber coating makes the cable easier to handle and use, and reduces flaring of the wires when the cable is cut. There is less tendency for the cable to slip when wrapped around objects to be secured and/or lifted, and marring of such objects by the cable is reduced. In addition to these advantages, the coating on the cable protects the steel substrate from corrosion during weathering, exposure to sea water, or contact with corrosive chemicals. Vulcanization of the rubber coating is carried out at high pressure to provide it with a high Durometer hardness and other desirable properties.
