Abstract
In a method for supplying elastomer and a cable embedded in the elastomer to a fabric layer of a garment or a bandage, the elastomer is applied in a flowable state to the fabric layer via a nozzle and the cable is applied to the fabric layer via the same nozzle simultaneously with the elastomer, at least in some phases such that the elastomer encases at least part of the cable.
Claims13
A method wherein elastomer (4) with a cable (5) embedded in the elastomer (4) is applied onto a fabric layer (6) of a garment or a bandage including the following step:
- the elastomer is applied to the fabric layer (6) in a deformable state via a nozzle (1),
- the cable (5) is applied to the fabric layer (6) via the same nozzle (1) in phases at the same time together with the elastomer (4) in such a way that, in one phase, the elastomer (4) surrounds the cable (5) at least partially,
- in another phase only the cable (5) but no elastomer (4) is applied via the nozzle (1) to the fabric layer (6),
- wherein an end (5a, 5b) of the cable (5) that has already exited the nozzle (1) is fixed to the fabric layer (6),
- and the fixing of the end (5a, 5b) of the cable (5) which has exited the nozzle (1) occurs before the method step in which the elastomer (4) and the cable (5) are applied at least in phases at the same time.
