D-1565 METHOD OF FORMING ARTICLES An improved method of forming an article includes providing continuous, woven, flat, helical tape of filaments and a continuous flat, helical tape of foil. The two helical tapes are interleaved to form a helical assembly having turns of filaments alternating with turns of foil. Deformation forces are applied against the turns of the helical assembly in a direction parallel to the central axis of the helix to bond the turns of the tapes of foil and filament together while maintaining the filaments free of axially extending forces. During the bonding of the turns of the helical foil and filament tapes, the tapes may be bonded to a housing or other component of an article to be reinforced. Radial reinforcing can be provided by including in the helical assembly a layer having filaments with central axes which are radial relative to the central axes of the filaments of the helical tape. |
