Abstract:
A device and method for the end termination of a braided synthetic rope offering full efficiency of the spliced and unspliced, tensile strength of the subject synthetic rope, with a tapered solid compression thimble of unique surface topography allowing forces on the tapered solid compression thimble only in compression, seated inside an enclosing thimble socket with an internal tapered thimble seat free of sharp edges, with a screw-on cap at the top of the enclosing thimble socket with a fitting for attachment for connecting links and configurable for different rigging attachment styles, a contoured groove in the tapered solid compression thimble for receiving a braided synthetic rope wrapped around the solid compression thimble and spliced into itself. In addition, rounded edges at the bottom of the enclosing thimble socket help protect the braided synthetic rope from abrasion and cutting while in service. The device is intended to create a job-site qualified, safe and efficient manner to connect objects in the rigging and mooring industry such as other synthetic mooring lines, tow lines, anchor chains, and wire ropes.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2  further comprising the step of wrapping the spliced braided synthetic rope in an anti-chafe material.
