Method of continuously forming an electrical cable

摘要

This invention refers to a method of continuously forming an electrical cable, the method comprising introducing molten resin into a gap formed adjacent a rotating mold roll, the mold roll having a peripheral surface defining an array of molding cavities therein, under pressure and temperature conditions selected to cause the resin to fill the mold cavities and form an array of fastener element stems integrally molded with and extending from a broad strip of resin; while simultaneously introducing a preformed electrical ribbon-type cable to the nip adjacent the pressure roll, such that the broad strip of resin becomes permanently bonded to a broad side of the ribbon-type cable such that the fastener element stems are exposed.
