Method and apparatus for making reinforced insulated electrical conductor

摘要

Extrusion die assembly and method of insulating conductor in which tensile reinforcing elements are introduced into the conductor insulation as it is being extruded. During extrusion, the reinforcing element engage outwardly against a position control member to limit their outward movement. The extrudate flows to either side of the position control member and recombines into a single unitary mass downstream of the control member.
