  • Patent number: 3956877
    Abstract: A spliceless longitudinally extending strand structure and method of fabricating the same which method embodies the steps of stranding at least one generally elongated strand wire about a first individual core wire segment to form a first outer layer segment, bonding a second core wire segment to the first core wire segment, bonding a second generally elongated strand wire to each of the first strand wires and stranding the second strand wires about second core wire segment as a second outer layer segment to form a continuous length of a strand structure. This process is continued until a strand structure of desired length is obtained. A stranded cable is formed by helically twisting a plurality of strand structures together. In the strand structure, the bonded joints connecting the strand wires between adjacent outer layer segments are spaced from the joint between the associated core wire segments and from each other longitudinally of the strand structure.
