Abstract
A wire, strand, or cable guide element (EG) for a flyer bow for assembling/twisting/braiding the wire, strand, or cable has an inner surface (SI) which defines the travel path of the wire, strand, or cable (PF) and which consists of alternating adjacent micro-bumps (MB) and micro-recesses (MC). The flyer bow at least partially or entirely surrounds the wire, strand, or cable by means of a member (C) and has a longitudinal orifice or inner tube (O) in the mass of said member (C), said orifice or inner tube (O) extending along the entire length of the bow. The wire, strand, or cable guide element (EG) is accommodated within said orifice (O) so as to guide the longitudinal travel of the wire, strand, or cable.
Claims16
A cable (wire, strand, cable, etc.) guide element for a flyer bow for assembling or twisting of cable surrounding the cable at least partly or completely comprising:
- a body (C), the said flyer bow being provided with a longitudinal orifice or internal tube (O) made in the mass of the said body (C) and over the entire length of the said flyer bow, and
- a cable guide element (EG) is accommodated in the said internal tube (O) in order to guide the longitudinal travel of the cable therein,
- wherein prior to insertion of the cable guide element into the internal tube (O), an internal surface (SI) of the cable guide element (EG) defining a cable channel (PF) is formed by micro bulges (MB) alternating with micro hollows (MC) and there is substantially zero spacing between the micro bulges (MB) and the micro hollows (MC).
A cable (wire, strand, cable, etc.) guide element for a flyer bow for assembling or twisting a cable surrounding the cable at least partly or completely comprising:
- a body (C), the said flyer bow being provided with a longitudinal orifice or internal tube (O) made in the mass of the said body (C) and over the entire length of the said flyer bow, and
- a cable guide element (EG) is accommodated in the said orifice (O) in order to guide the longitudinal travel of the cable therein,
- wherein the cable guide element (EG) is a spring (RS) with closed turns, and
- wherein an internal surface (SI) of the cable guide element (EG) defines a cable channel (PF) that is formed by micro bulges (MB) alternating with adjacent micro hollows (MC).
