Patent number: 7384254Abstract: A coextrusion adapter for an extrusion installation with extruders and a tool for producing a composite coextrusion structure of thermoplastic material. The coextrusion adapter has a central conduit with an end at an inlet side for connecting an extruder and an end at an outlet side for connecting the tool. The coextrusion adapter has at least one coextrusion conduit with an inlet end and an outlet end. A second extruder can be connected to the inlet end. At an end facing the outlet end the adjusting elements have a wedge-shape adjusting section with one wedge surface facing the central conduit and another wedge surface facing the outlet end of the coextrusion conduit. The adjusting section of the adjusting elements is pivotal around an axis extending over the width of the outlet end by the actuating drives. When an increase of the inside diameter of the respective transverse section of the outlet end occurs the corresponding transverse section of the central conduit is narrowed, and vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2005Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Reifenhäuser GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6954983Abstract: A method for continuously producing flat cables with electric conductors embedded in an isolating material which are arranged at a certain distance from each other, parallel to each other. According to this invention, the band shaped conductors are guided separately in a plane forming two sides of a surface. The surface sides have insulating layers based on thermoplastic synthetic materials. According to this invention, at least one of the insulating layers which covers the surface sides is produced by extrusion coating of a thermoplastic melt.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2001Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: Reifenhäuser GmbH & Co MaschinenfabrikInventors: Karl Fröschl, Frank Bennerscheidt, Hartmut Halter
