ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a wrapping structure for an end of a rope, and more particularly to a wrapping structure which is able to firmly embrace and fix the end section of the rope and prevent the hand of a user from axially slipping from the rope when holding the rope.
FIGS. 4 and 5
show a conventional wrapping structure for an end of a rope. An adhesive tape
91
is wound around the end of the rope
9
to avoid scattering thereof. Then the end is damped with a glue and plugged into a socket
93
of an end cap
92
. A screw
94
is screwed into the end cap from the other end for stretching the end of the rope
9
to abut against the inner wall of the socket
93
and fix the end of the rope
9
with the end cap
92
.
When held by a user, the end cap
92
serves to stop the rope from axially slipping from the user's hand. Therefore, the end cap
92
will suffer considerably great axial force. The end cap
92
is fixed with the rope
9
by two forces, that is, the frictional force between the end of the rope
9
and the inner wall of the socket
93
and the adhesion force of the glue. The inner wall of the socket
93
has smooth wall face so that the above two fixing forces can hardly resist against the axial force exerted onto the end cap
92
. In the case that the end cap
92
is subject to greater axial force, the end of the rope
9
tends to detach from the socket
93
of the end cap
92
. At this time, the user's hand will slip from the rope
9
and may get hurt.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a wrapping structure for an end of a rope, in which an embracing sheath serves to embrace and tightly bind the end section of the rope. A bolt serves to lock the embracing sheath with the end cap. In addition, the bolt stretches the end section of the rope outward so as to more firmly engage the rope with the embracing sheath. Therefore, when a user holds the rope, the end cap is able to effectively stop the hand of the user from axially slipping from the rope.
According to the above object, the wrapping structure for an end of a rope of the present invention includes an embracing sheath and an end cap. The embracing sheath serves to embrace the end section of the rope. One end of the sheath distal from the end cap is embossed to form a binding section. A center of the end face of the sheath is formed with an inward extending thread hole. The end cap is formed with a through hole. One end of the through hole is formed with a large diameter receptacle for receiving the sheath therein. The other end of the through hole is disposed with a fixing section having a diameter larger than that of the through hole while smaller than that of the receptacle. A bolt is passed through one end of the fixing section and the through hole to be screwed and fixed in the thread hole of the sheath in the receptacle.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
