  • Patent number: 4133623
    Abstract: An apparatus for extruding latex in tubular form comprises a head block carrying two plugs which respectively have secured in them the upper ends of two tubes disposed coaxially one within the other. The inner surface of the outer tube and the outer surface of the inner tube are accurately formed with respect to the common axis, and an annular chamber opens to an annular space formed between the tubes in the head block. An inlet passage for latex opens to the chamber and is inclined to the radial direction so as to induce a circumferential flow of the latex into the chamber. A valve device may be provided to enable different latices to be fed selectively into the inlet passage, and a stirrer is disposed in the inlet passage where the latices enter for blending the latices on changeover from one to another during uninterrupted extrusion.
