The fitting comprising a housing (10) with a tapered bore and an interfitting cone (11), is emplaced by threading the rope onto the housing, splaying out the end fibres thereof. introducing the cone centrally among the fibres and withdrawing the rope until the cone grips the fibres within the taper. This is done in such a manner as to leave fibres projecting beyond the cone, e.g. by 10 mm. A fluid epoxy resin is then introduced to these fibres and cured to form a plug which may be contiguous with the rear of the cone. For ropes to be subjected to high shock loading the end fitting and rope assembly is given a preload of rope proof stress proportions to establish that friction is the principal load transfer medium in the end fitting. <IMAGE> |
