ROPE CROSSING AND ROPE PLAY EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A ROPE CROSSING AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to a rope crossing for securing rope lines on each other as well as rope play equipment which has at least one rope crossing according to the invention. The invention also relates to a method for producing a rope crossing according to the invention and an apparatus constructed to carry out the method of the invention for producing the rope crossing. The rope crossing according to the invention is used for securing rope lines to each other and includes at least two crossing rope lines (20, 30) and a ring (10), wherein the ring (10) has an inner opening (12) which comprises twice the number of essentially radially extending receiving regions (13) in relation to the number of rope lines to be secured, and wherein a corresponding line segment of a rope line (20, 30) forming a bulge (21, 31) is received in two corresponding receiving regions (13) that face one another, so that the bulges (21, 31) of crossing rope lines are arranged on respective opposite sides of the ring (10). The ratio of the unobstructed width LW of a receiving region to the diameter of the rope line D, which forms the bulge (21, 31) in this receiving region, is LW/D = 0.8 to 0.98.
