PHOTO-LUMINESCENT WIRE ROPE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a photo-luminescent wire rope having an extended luminescent effect, and to a method for manufacturing the same. The photo-luminescent wire rope of the present invention comprises a plurality of outer layer strands which are woven around the outer circumference of a core strand, wherein at least one of said outer layer strands is a photo-luminescent wire rod into which a mixture of a photo-luminescent pigment and a synthetic resin is extrusion-molded. The method for making the photo-luminescent wire rope of the present invention comprises the steps of: mixing a photo-luminescent pigment with a synthetic resin and extrusion-molding the mixture into a photo-luminescent wire rod; preparing a plurality of wires by wire-drawing a steel wire rod; preparing a plurality of strands by weaving said wires; selecting one strand from said plurality of strands as a core strand; and weaving the remainder of said plurality of strands and said photo-luminescent wire rod, which act as outer layer strands, around the outer circumference of the core strand, thereby forming a photo-luminescent wire rope. The photo-luminescent wire rope of the present invention is excellent in maintaining luminance and photoluminescence, thereby facilitating detection of potential dangers at night or in dark places and preventing potential accidents.
