Abstract
Abstract A method of producing an insulated electrical conductor, in which a wire conductor is coated with an inner layer of heat resistant material and covered with electrostatically deposited powdered polymeric material which is fused by heat to form an outer layer of insulation. An insulated electrical conductor produced by this method comprises a core carrying an inner coating of heat resistant material and an outer coating of fused polymeric material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
A method of producing an insulated electrical conductor comprising the steps of: electrostatically depositing a powdered polymeric material onto a wire conductor coated with an annular sheath of electrically insulating heat resistant fibrous material. applying heat externally to the conductor to fuse the polymeric material to form an uniform outer layer of polymeric material and cooling the polymer coated conductor.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
60 words
A method of producing an insulated electrical conductor comprising the steps of: electrostatically depositing a powdered polymeric material onto a wire conductor coated with an annular sheath of electrically insulating heat resistant fibrous material. applying heat externally to the conductor to fuse the polymeric material to form an uniform outer layer of polymeric material and cooling the polymer coated conductor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 including the step of coating the wire conductor with said fibrous material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 in which the polymeric material is nylon.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 in which the fibrous material is wood pulp.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 in which the heat is applied to the conductor in a plurality of stages of successively lower temperatures.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method as claimed in claim 5 in which the polymeric material is nylon and the successive temperatures are 600° F. and 500° F.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
15 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 in which the conductor is cooled by quenching.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method as claimed in claim 7 in which the conductor is quenched in water having a temperature in the range of 33 to 37° F.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
58 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 including the preliminary step of electrostatically depositing a mixture of powdered flame retardant material and powdered polymeric material on the wire conductor coated with a layer of electrically insulating heat resistant fibrous material, and applying heat externally to the conductor to fuse the mixture to form an intermediate layer of insulation.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method as claimed in claim 9 in which the mixture of polymeric material and flame retardant material is 12% by weight decabromo diphenyl oxide, 6% by weight antimony oxide, and 81.6% by weight nylon, and 0.4% by weight pigment.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
25 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 in which the polymeric material is powdered nylon having a particle size in the range of 60-100 microns.
