Abstract
A method of fabricating a clamp cushion for use with a clamp device for mounting and restraining wires. Uncured resilient material is extruded through an extrusion die to form an extrusion having a raised upper surface on one side and, on the other side, a passageway being defined by longitudinal side walls and cover flaps to accommodate the clamp device. A toothed surface is then pressed into the raised surface of the extrusion to form a plurality of longitudinally spaced transverse nodes.
Claims10
A method of fabricating a clamp cushion for use with a clamp device comprising the steps of:
- (a) extruding an uncured resilient material through an extrusion die to form an extrusion having a raised upper surface on one side and a lower surface, side walls and cover flaps at a right angle to the side walls to define a passageway for accommodating the clamp device, thereafter
- (b) spreading the cover flaps so that the cover flaps are spaced apart;
- (c) pressing a toothed surface into the raised upper surface of the extrusion while the cover flaps are spread open to form a plurality of longitudinally spaced transverse nodes;
- and
- (d) curing the extrusion so formed.

- (b) passing the extrusion between a first pair of rollers which cooperate with each other to spread the cover flaps apart in a downwardly direction from the lower surface,
- (c) pressing a toothed surface into the raised upper surface while the extrusion passes between a second pair of rollers to form a plurality of longitudinally spaced transverse nodes;
- and
- (d) curing the extrusion so formed.
