Title: Method and apparatus for processing cord
IPC: B29D30/38
Filed: 1958-03-10
Abstract: 868,954. Fabric composed of adhesivelybonded cords. OLYMPIC TYRE & RUBBER CO. PROPRIETARY Ltd. March 10, 1958 [March 8, 1957], No. 7599/58. Class 140. A method of processing cord comprises passing a plurality of cords upwardly through a slot in the bottom of a treatment tank containing rubber solution or other suitable liquid while the cords are maintained in closelyspaced parallel arrangement in a single plane so as to form a coating joining all the cords and stabilizing the coating thereon. As shown (Fig. 1), cords 15 from a conventional creel take-off (not shown) pass through tensioning device 11, between the teeth of comb 16, under roller 17 through comb 18 and upwards through treatment tank 19. After leaving the tank the band 23 passes through scraper device 24 and then through drying chamber 51, passing over rotary device 52. The cords converge upwardly from the tank 19 to the point at which the coating material has set sufficiently to fix the spacing of the cords. Beyond this point the cords remain parallel to each other. The band then passes, via rollers 53 and 55, over roller 56. which provides for partial air-cooling of the band, and then over water-cooled rollers 57 and 58, passing thence on to endless conveyer band 59, and being wound up at 60.
