<p>PCT No. PCT/US82/00974 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 19, 1982 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 19, 1982 PCT Filed Jul. 19, 1982 PCT Pub. No. WO84/00351 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 2, 1984.A series of filaments are grouped into rovings (10), with each roving being impregnated with a viscous, tacky resin binder. The rovings are guided (12, 14, 16) to and compressed against a mandrel (18). By controlling intraroving spacing and compression force, the rovings are compressed such that their lateral expansion results in adjacent roving bonding, whereby a singular band (22) of defined width, height and filament count is formed. The height and width is controlled by varying the compression force and the intraroving spacing. Band contouring is realized by severing (24, 26) selected rovings prior to band formation. Linear and rotational relative motion is provided (FIG. 11: 110, 112, 114) between the roving guiding and compression means and the mandrel to precisely orient the band.</p> |
