Abstract

A method of and apparatus for extruding an article of uniform cross-section, the article including a thermoplastic material and at least one cable for inhibiting stretch of the article. The cable is supplied to a respective tube and is conveyed between upstream and downstream ends. The thermoplastic material may be supplied to the downstream end of the tube. The thermoplastic material is brought together with the cable to embed the cable within the thermoplastic material, thereby forming a composite extrudate. The tube is configured to at least hinder movement of loose windings of the cable from the downstream end towards the upstream end, which may prevent or at least reduce incidence of "birdcaging".

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Application No. 14 / 744,690, filed June 19, 2015, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present 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 items of substantially constant cross-section by continuous extrusion techniques. Background technique [0004] The following paragraphs are not an admission that anything discussed in the paragraphs is prior art or part of the knowledge of a person skilled in the art. [0005] Handrails are a known and standard part of any escalator, moving ramp, moving walk or other similar transportation equipment. Conventionally, such armrests are mainly formed of rubber that constitutes the outer cover of the armrest and forms a comfortable "C" s...
