Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
THE METHOD OF CONTINUOUSLY APPLYING AN ORIENTED POLYMERIC COATING TO A WIRE WHICH COMPRISES DRAWING THE SAID WIRE THROUGH AN AXIALLY BORED WIRE COATING DIE AND EXTRUDING A SHEATH OF A MOLTEN ORIENTABLE THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER AROUND AND IN CONTACT WITH THE WIRE, ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE POLYMER TO A RANGE WITHIN SAID THE POLYMER IS SOLID BUT SOFT ENOUGH TO PERMIT THE WIRE TO BE DRAWN THROUGH THE SAID POLYMER AND THEREAFTER PASSING THE COATED WIRE THROUGH A SERIES OF RADICAL BALL BEARINGS OF GRADUALLY DIMINISHING INTERNAL DIAMETER TO EFFECT ORIENTATION OF THE POLYMER.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
95 words
THE METHOD OF CONTINUOUSLY APPLYING AN ORIENTED POLYMERIC COATING TO A WIRE WHICH COMPRISES DRAWING THE SAID WIRE THROUGH AN AXIALLY BORED WIRE COATING DIE AND EXTRUDING A SHEATH OF A MOLTEN ORIENTABLE THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER AROUND AND IN CONTACT WITH THE WIRE, ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE POLYMER TO A RANGE WITHIN SAID THE POLYMER IS SOLID BUT SOFT ENOUGH TO PERMIT THE WIRE TO BE DRAWN THROUGH THE SAID POLYMER AND THEREAFTER PASSING THE COATED WIRE THROUGH A SERIES OF RADICAL BALL BEARINGS OF GRADUALLY DIMINISHING INTERNAL DIAMETER TO EFFECT ORIENTATION OF THE POLYMER.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
THE PROCESS OF CLAIM 1 WHEREIN THE COATED WIRE IS PASSED THROUGH A SERIES OF POLISHING BEARINGS OF THE SAME INTERNAL DIAMETER IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE SERIES OF RADIAL BALL BEARINGS OF GRADUALLY DECREASING DIAMETER.
