  • Composite cord manufacturing method
    Patent number: 4707977
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a composite cord, in particular for use in stringing tennis rackets, continuous fibers are twisted together while a liquid binder is applied between them. This occurs just before the fibers are twisted through a die which wipes the binder and forms a protective sheath. Cords are manufactured at reduced cost through the elimination of heating of the entire cord.
