Manufacture of link belts

A method of and means of winding close wound helical coils of a thermoplastic monofilament material is proposed wherein, in order to avoid secondary twist in the resultant coil, the coil, after having been wound and heat set under controlled conditions on a first part of a mandrel, is twisted in a direction tending to close the individual turns of the coil during the cooling thereof while passing along and/or from the end of a second part of the mandrel to a twist arresting means arranged in spaced apart disposition relative to such end.

Cables

A cable comprises at least one layer of strands (10) with each strand covered with an individual sheath (20) of rubber or plastics material. The sheaths are so shaped (16, 17, 18) that the sheaths of adjacent strands interlock. This provides a layer in which the strands have a generally fixed spatial relationship both to each other and within the cable. This reduces inter-strand forces, so increasing cable life, and also provides a dimensionally stable cable.

Improvements in or relating to wire strand or rope

A wire strand or rope is drawn through reducing means whilst applying a uniform back-tension thereto, the strand or rope emerging from the reducting means being subjected to a heat treatment stage while still under tension. The reducing stage deforms the round wires of the strand or rope until they interfit in line contact with each other. The heat treatment is effected at a temperature of 200 DEG C.-400 DEG C. and is followed by a cooling stage. The reduction in cross sectional area in the range 4% to 80% and the back tension is in the range 2% to 65% of the breaking load of the strand or rope. Heating may be by induction. The strand or rope is coiled after the cooling stage and the degree of cooling is such that the strand or rope does not take a permanent set when it is coiled.

An overhead electric conductor with optical fibres loosely housed in the bore of a central core, which bore also contains a greasy water impermeable medium 4, is manufactured by causing a preformed elongate metal member of U-shaped transverse cross-section and the optical fibres to advance in the direction of their lengths, the rate of advance of the fibres being restrained. As the U-shaped elongate member is transversely folded around the optical fibres greasy water-impermeable medium is injected into the bore of the elongate metal member under a controlled pressure. The consistency of the greasy water-impermeable medium the pressure and rate at which it is injected into the bore and the degree of restraint imparted to the optical fibres 3 is such that, in a predetermined length of the conductor, the length of the optical fibres exceeds the length of the bore by a controlled extent, preferably 1 to 3%.
