Abstract
A tape of insulating material, provided with a binder, is fixed to an elongated, rectangular electrical conductor in a longitudinal direction thereof, the tape being brought into contact with a first side of the conductor before the other portions of the tape are folded around the conductor with the use of endless belts movable transversely to the longitudinal direction of the conductor for bringing the other portions of the tape in contact with at least two other adjacent sides of the conductor.
Claims4
Method of applying a tape of insulating material to an elongated, rectangular electrical conductor in a longitudinal direction thereof, the tape being provided with a binder for fixing it to the conductor, and a longitudinal portion of the tape being brought into contact with a first side of the conductor before the other portions of the tape are folded around the conductor and fixed thereto, the improvement comprising the steps of:
- providing movable endless belts at successive operating stations for folding said other tape portions around the conductor;
- moving said belts at said stations transversely of the longitudinal direction of the conductor for successively contacting the respective other portions of the tape with at least two other adjacent sides of the conductor;
- and
- conveying the conductor and the tape through said operating stations.
An apparatus for application of a tape of insulating material provided with a binder, to an elongated, rectangular electrical conductor in longitudinal direction thereof at a series of successively positioned operating stations, comprising:
- a device at one of the stations for fixing only a longitudinal portion of the tape to a first side of the conductor;
- and
- endless belts at succeeding ones of the stations movable transversely to the longitudinal direction of the conductor for folding the other portions of the tape about at least two other adjacent sides of the conductor.
