Description

WITNESSESI W. C. ROBINSON.
FLEXIBLE ELECTRICAL CONDUIT.
APPLICTION FILED JUNE 3. 1912.

NTOR
UNITED STATES PATENT oEEIcE.
WILLIAM C. ROBINSON, OF PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR TO NATIONAL METAL MOLDING COMPANY, OF PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION 0F PENNSYLVANIA.
FLEXIBLE ELECTRICAL CONDUIT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 7, 1916.
Application led June 3, 1912. Serial No. 701,315.
To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM C. ROBINSON, residing at Pittsburgh, in the county of A1- legheny and State of Pennsylvania, a citizen of the United States, have invented or discovered certain new and useful Improvements in Flexible Electrical Conduits, of which improvements the following is a specification.
The present invention is an improvement upon that described in United States Letters Patent No. 652,806.
In the accompanying .drawings Figure 1 is a View, partlyl in section, of'a section of conduit embodying the invention. Fig. 2 represents (on a larger scale) a strand of paper or like material formed of strips twisted together. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the twisted circular' strand on the line III--III of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 includes enlarged views in plan and in cross-section of the flattened strip which is used as the semiiiexible member of the conduit. y
In order to form the semi-iexible member of the conduit I crumple and twist together a number of strips of thin paper or a similar material as generally indicated at 1 in Fig. 2. A single strip lof paper of suiiicient width may be so twisted, and if desired the strip or strips may'have appliedp to them an insulating varnish or sizing.
This forms a twisted strand which is circular in cross-section, as shown in Fig. 3. Then I Hatten the twisted strand in any suitable way, as by passing it between pressure rollers, thus forming a comparatively thin strip, shown in Fig. 4, which I have found possesses the necessary firmness and strength for use in a conduit in the'manner described in the Letters Patent above referred to. It possesses the advantages over the helically coiled member Iof the said Letters Patent, that while quite rm and strong, it is also relatively thin and of light weight. Having formed this semi-iexible strip 1, I proceedto coil. it helically as shown in Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings, and then interweave with said strip strands 2 of thread, yarn or any similar fiexible Inat`erial.
I claim as my invention:
A conduit consisting of a helix formed of a Hat strand of twisted paper, in combination with flexible material interwoven therewith.
v "In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
WILLIAM o. ROBINSON.
