Title: Method of and apparatus for manufacturing a hose
Inventor: EULE WERNER
IPC: B29D23/00
Filed: 1983-01-27
Abstract: A method of manufacturing a hose comprises, cutting a strip (9) of polymeric material such that its width corresponds to the circumference of the hose or its edges are so constructed and its width so dimensioned that it can be tubularly bent into a structure with the circumference of the hose (6). A portion of the strip (9) thus bent is laid around a vulcanising pipe (13) and vulcanisation takes place, whereby the edges of the strip portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the strip are vulcanised together to provide a hose portion. The vulcanised hose portion is then moved forward in the direction of the forward end of the vulcanising pipe (13) and vulcanisation then takes place of an immediately succeeding strip portion. This operation is repeated until the hose has achieved the desired length. Vulcanising equipment (12, 13) for the performance of the method has a "cold" portion (A) for strip preparation and a "hot" portion (8) for the vulcanisation. <IMAGE>
