A cable core includes: an internal conductor; a foamed dielectric that includes a fluororesin and is formed on the internal conductor by extrusion molding; and a skin layer that covers the foamed dielectric, and is configured such that a foaming rate of the foamed dielectric is 80% or more, an average foamed cell diameter of the foamed dielectric is 10 m or less, and a standard deviation of a foamed cell diameter of the foamed dielectric is 2.5 or less.

An assembly and process for forming a two stage extruded pipe having a central inner sleeve and a pair of outer attached lobes. The central sleeve shaped (also termed a grout receiving tube) is produced in an initial extrusion operation, following which it enters a cross head operation where a pair of outer lobes are attached to cross sectional exterior surface locations according to a second stage extrusion operation so as to be integrally formed therewith. Other steps include cooling of the dual stage extruded pipe, as well as sectioning and stacking the pipe. Additional steps include forming elongated slots or apertures into the central sleeve portion of the finished extrusion, such in non-interfering fashion with the individual passageway defining and lobes.

Apparatus for the production of an electric conductor provided with at least a layer of coating plastic material. The apparatus comprises: a head for the extrusion of an electric conductor; at least a main extruder having a first supply duct; at least an auxiliary extruder having a second supply duct; and a device for the selection and the diversion of the flows of coating plastic material. The selection and diversion device is provided, in turn, with at least a device for the exclusion of the auxiliary extruder; with a bypass duct between the first duct and the second duct; and with a flow-regulating diverter valve arranged in the intersection point between the first supply duct and a bypass duct connecting the first duct to the second duct.

An assembly and process for forming a two stage extrusion of an elongated marine dock from a plasticized material, such as including but act limited to extruding a first generally L shaped bracket from a first more rigid thermoplastic, following which a cross head die arrangement is utilized in order to extrude a secondary arcuate and flexible material in extending fashion from a lower side of the L bracket. The secondary/flexible elastomer is extracted in an open flexed position relative to the first extruded bracket, and further such that, following completion, can be flexed into a closed engagement with an upper perpendicularly extending side of the bracket.

A reinforced cable tie generally includes an elongate strap having a first end, a second end and an elongate planar strap body therebetween, a head having an upstanding central wall separating a first and a second elongate parallel passageway through the head for respective receipt of the first and second ends of said strap, a locking device supported in the head for retaining the first and second ends of the strap and a continuous reinforcement disposed in and extending substantially continuously along a path defining the strap. In a method for forming a cable tie, a continuous reinforcing strand is co-extruded within an elongate strap and a head is assembled to the strap.

An interior/exterior covering member for an automobile having excellent sound-absorbing performance is provided. The interior/exterior covering member includes an air-permeable fiber layer 2 and a thermoplastic resin layer 3 laminated on one surface of the fiber layer 2. The melt flow rate of the thermoplastic resin is in a range of 2 g/10 min to 500 g/10 min, and a plurality of through-holes 11 penetrating the resin layer in the thickness direction is formed in the thermoplastic resin layer 3.

A structural polymeric composite includes a stiffening layer. The composite is made in a continuous extrusion process in which the stiffening layer is pulled through a cross-head die as a polymer is extruded over it. The layer includes a film or textile carrier, a filler of carbon fibers, fiberglass, organic fibers or minerals forming a mat. A binder may be dispersed over the mat and a second carrier applied. The mat is subjected to heat and pressure to soften the carriers and binder so they penetrate into the interstices of the filler and binds mechanically with them and the carriers and binder bind chemically with each other to form the stiffening layer. A polymer is then extruded over the stiffening layer, which may be used flat, provided with holes or punches for composite action with the polymer, formed into a profile, or segmented to provide spaced-apart stiffening layers.

Disclosed is a system for measuring and controlling the thickness of asphalt roofing materials during manufacturing. Light beams are used to generate a time of flight signal that is used to determine the thickness of the asphalt roofing layer. A controller generates a thickness control signal that controls a coater to modify parameters of the coater to produce the asphalt roofing layer with a desired thickness.

A rubber extruding machine 1 comprises two or more rubber extruders 2, an extrusion head 3 to which the rubber extruders 2 are connected, and a decompression device 4. A pre-former 6 of the extrusion head comprises: rubber flow paths 20 including respective flow paths 22 through which the extruded unvulcanized rubber compounds G pass respectively; a merging position P at which the rubber flow paths 20 are confluent; and a vent channel 21 whose one end communicates with the merging position P and the other end is connected to the decompression device.

A sheathed elongated profile, that is, shaped product, is disclosed. The elongated profile may include a main profile body that is at least partially sheathed in a first synthetics component. The elongated profile may also include at least one disposal, that is, protrusion, on the main profile body that is not completely sheathed in the first synthetics component and at least partially sheathed in a second synthetics component. Methods and devices for producing the elongated profile are also disclosed.
