Abstract

A method and apparatus for extrusion of an article is provided. A die assembly can apply flows of thermoplastic material to an array of reinforcing cables to form a composite extrusion. A slider fabric can be bonded to one side of the composite extrusion. After exiting the die assembly, the slider fabric can act to support the extrudate as it passes along an elongate mandrel, which can cause the base of the slider fabric to change shape from a flat profile to the final internal profile of the article. The extruded article can then be cooled to solidify the material. The die can include cooling for the slider fabric and means for promoting penetration of the thermoplastic into reinforcing cables.

Description

technical field [0001] This specification relates generally to thermoplastic handrails for escalators, moving walkways and other transportation equipment, and to methods and apparatus for manufacturing such handrails or other objects of substantially constant cross-section by a continuous extrusion technique. Background technique [0002] The following paragraphs are not an admission that anything discussed in them is prior art or part of the knowledge of those of ordinary skill in the art. [0003] Handrails are a well known and standard part of any escalator, moving ramp, moving walk or other similar transportation equipment. Typically, such armrests are primarily formed of rubber that forms the outer cover of the armrest and forms a comfortable outer "C" shape for the user to grip, and also includes a steel reinforcing cables and fabric plies. [0004] In order to position the handrail and enable it to travel automatically, it has a T-slot on its underside. The troughs...
