18 Claims.
This invention relates to insulated conductors and the like, and more particularly to the provision of applying to the fabric jacket of such conductors one or more coatings of a preserva tive compound.
The object of this invention is to provide a conductor, the fabric jacket of which is first treated with a suitable saturant and upon which is placed a coating of a fire-resisting and weather- 1 proofing compound preferably stearine pitch, having a pigment therein which produces a coating of predetermined color on the jacket of said conductor and which completely masks out the undercoating or saturant, which is usually of a different color. Over this colored coating is placed a thin film of a suitable material which may be either transparent or of a color corresponding to that of the undercoating, this finishing coat serving to prevent the adjacent coils of the wire from sticking and to provide on the conductor a smooth, slick finish.
The invention is fully described in the following specification of which the accompanying drawing forms a part.
Fig. 1 is a detailed viewof an electrical con ductor illustrating the various coatings thereon;
Fig. 2 is a view in cross-section taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a diagrammatic showing illustrating one suitable way of carrying out applicants invention.
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 applicant's finished conductor comprises a central conducting core III, a rubber or other insulating covering ll surrounding said core and a fabric jacket I2 over said rubber covering, said fabric jacket l2 being impregnated with a saturant l3, said saturant l3 having a base of asphalt or coal tar pitch. Over this coating of saturant is applied a coating of pigmented stearine pitch over which a final finishing coating of a suitable anti-stick material is applied, for example, an aqueous soap solution such as is shown in the pending application of E. M. Honan, No. 681,330, or the anti-stick compound disclosed in the Young Patent No. 1,327,- 933, January 13, 1920.
Applicant has illustrated one method of carrying but his invention and has diagrammatically shown apparatus for applying the coating to the insulated conductor.
In Fig. 3, I6 is a reel having a quantity of. insulated conductor l'l thereon which comprises a wire or conductor core ID, a rubber or other insulating covering H and a fabric jacket l2. This fabric jacket may be in the form of a cotton braid or any other suitable material. The insulated braided conductor ll passes from the reel [6 over the guide roller l8 into the tank H which contains the saturant l3, under the sheave 20 mounted in said tank and passes out of the tank 5 between the rollers 2! and 22 which are located at the opposite end of the tank, these rollers serving to remove the surplus saturants from the wire. The tank I9 is heated by the burners 23 or may be heated by any other suitable means 10 which will maintain the saturant I! at the desired temperature.
The saturant I3 is in the form of a compound having the usual weather-proof property and may comprise a solution having either an asphalt or a coal tar base and is usually black in color. After passing through the tank is, the saturated conductor l'l passes over the guide roller 24 into the tank 25 which contains the coating compound M. This coating compound contains a large proportion of stearin pitch pigmented to yield a predetermined color. The wire l1 passes through this solution under the sheave 26 and out of the tank 25 between the rollers 21 and 28, these rollers serving to remove the surplus coating from the wire H. The tank 25 may also be heated by any suitable means, such as the burner 29, for maintaining the stearin pitch at its proper temperature. I 30 The compound I has a base of stearin pitch with a suitable'pigment in it to give it the desired color which will completely mask out the black saturant and provide a weather-proof and fire-retardant coating over said saturant and fabric jacket. After the conductor I1 is treated with the coal tar pitch or asphalt saturant l3 and the stearin pitch pigmented coating I l, the conductor is passed over the guide roller 30 into the tank 3| which contains a finishing compound l5, under the sheave 32 and out of the tank between the rollers 33 and 34 which remove the surplus finishing compound and exert a pressure onthe finished conductor I1, which then-passes onto the take-up reel 35.
The finishing compound l5 may be the antistick solution disclosed in the Young Patent No. 1,327,933 or it may be an aqueous soap solution, such as disclosed in the pending application of E. M. Honan heretofore referred to.
If it is desired the finishing compound I! may have incorporated therein a pigment or dye, this pigment or dye to be the same color as the pigment in the stearin pitch coating ll.
The finishing compound 15 may also have incorporated therein a small amount of betanaphthol to act as a mold inhibitor.
It is to be understood that applicant's improved finish, which employes a pigmented stearin pitch, may be produced in an ivory, and in various shades of green, blue, red, yellow, gray, etc., so as to provide in a multiple conductor, contrasting colors between the various conductors to readily distinguish one from the other.
Whilethe applicant has shown and described certain types of apparatus for applying the various coatings to the insulated conductor and has set forth certain ingredients in the compound, it will be understood that his invention is not limited in these respects and various changes and modifications of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.
