  • Method of blowing a line into an empty sheath
    Patent number: 5046674
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of blowing a line (1) into an empty sheath (13) in which the line (1) is unreeled from a storage roll and is transported in the empty sheath (13) by means of compressed air blown into the empty sheath (13). An undisturbed unreeling of the line from the roll is made possible also at very high unreeling speeds in that the storage roll is a self-supporting criss-crossed roll (4) having no coil former and contains a line comprising a sheath which envelops a LWG or an electrical conductor which sheath when wound in the criss-crossed roll comprises a flattened cross-sectional contour which is widened in the direction of the winding plane.

  • Roll manufactured with a light waveguide conductor
    Patent number: 5018826
