METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR STRIPPING HEAT SHRINKABLE MATERIAL FROM A RELATIVELY RIGID ARTICLE

摘要

In stripping heat shrinkable sheathing material from an elongated metallic article, the material is scored along the length of the article. The article next is positioned in a nest defined by a pair of juxtaposed rollers and the material is heated so that it shrinks and separates along its scored portion. The rollers then are rotated to strip the material from the article and to discharge the material from the nest through the rollers, after which the stripped article is removed from the nest.
