Abstract:
1. A method of continuously forming an electrical cable, the method comprising: introducing an electrical insulating material comprising a thermoplastic resin into a gap formed adjacent a peripheral surface of a rotating mold roll, the mold roll defining an array of cavities therein, the insulating material being introduced under pressure and temperature conditions selected to cause the insulating material to at least partially fill the cavities to form fastener element stems integrally with and extending from one broad surface of a strip of said insulation material; while introducing at least two longitudinally continuous and spaced apart electrical conductors to the gap so as to cause the insulating material to envelop and electrically isolate the conductors and cause the conductors to become an integral part of the strip of insulation material from which the fastener element stems extend.
