Abstract: The present invention includes a cable having reduced surface friction and the method of manufacture thereof including steps in which a conductor wire is coated with a first plastic material and with a mixture of a second plastic material and lubricating material and the coated conductor wire cooled. The cable includes at least one conductor core and at least two coatings of plastic material and incorporates a lubricating material in and/or on the outer layer of plastic material. The equipment for the manufacturing of the electrical cable includes a reel for supplying a conductor wire to an extruding head, which is connected to tanks containing plastic material and lubricating material for coating the conducting wire, and a reel for taking up the cable.

Abstract: A toy construction kit for constructing sand cast structures using a set of different casting molds, support posts installed in the molds during filling and compacting the sand, and support plates that encompass the open part of the mold and that include a socket to engage the post, the support plate and post supporting the sand casting when the mold is removed the kit including interconnection clips to interconnect the support plates of multiple casting when constructing a multi-tier structure.
