摘要 An apparatus for forming clad wire wherein the wire is surrounded by a strip of sheathing material deformed about the wire with the edges thereof being at least partially secured with the securing means not attaching the sheathing material to the wire. The product is of a metallic composite comprising a metal core and a metal sheath surrounding the core with the adjacent edges of the sheath defining a semi-continuous longitudinal seam.
权利要求
1. An apparatus for providing a sheathed element comprising: means for longitudinally feeding a wire to a cladding zone; means for longitudinally feeding a cladding strip into juxtaposition to said wire at said zone; means for upturning and inturning the longitudinal edges of the strip about the wire at said zone to define a sheath thereabout; means for welding together said longitudinal edges less than fully through the thickness thereof; and means for positioning the edges of the sheath in alignment with said welding means for welding thereof by said welding means.
2. The apparatus of Claim 1 wherein said positioning means includes roller means for engaging said longitudinal edges of the strip at a position wherein the strip is upturned to extend approximately halfway about the wire.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said positioning means includes a blade disposed between said edges at a position wherein the edges are inturned to be juxtaposed to each other.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 further including means for constricting the sheathed wire.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said constricting means comprises drawing die means and said apparatus is arranged for delivering the welded sheathed wire directly from the welding means to said die means.
