  • Patent number: 4238435
    Abstract: A method of making elongated members of thermoplastic material which simulate natural bamboo by continuously extruding the material through a die, cooling the extruded material downstream of the die, gripping the cool material and transporting the material away from the die and slowing the speed of transport relative to the speed of extrusion at predetermined lengths of extrusion to produce regions of greater external cross-sectional dimensions to provide axially spaced nodes similar to those of bamboo.
