  • Patent number: 4324607
    Abstract: A machine is shown for building a reenforced industrial hose for liquids and certain solids by wrapping a plurality of layers of different materials, including an uncured resin, on a rotating mandrel to form a laminated structure that may be cured in situ on the mandrel. The mandrel is rotated and a carriage moves alongside the mandrel to feed the several layers of materials forming the laminations onto the surface of the mandrel. The movement of the carriage is precisely coordinated with the rotation of the mandrel so that the edges of a resin or an uncured rubber strip and the steel wires forming the successive layers can be wrapped onto the mandrel, with the rubber strip material and the wires being laid on the mandrel in either a precise angle mode or an exact pitch mode.
