International Classification:

H01B 9/02
H01B 3/30
G02B 6/44

US Classification:

385101, 385109, 385113, 174102 D, 174102 R, 174110 R, 174110 PM, 174112, 174117 R

Abstract:

An electrical cable having a holding member arranged within the cable for an optic fiber, which can be used for temperature sensing and/or communications. The holding member can replace one or more strands of the cable, be placed inside an interstice of the cable, be placed in between various layers of the cable, or placed in the jacket of the cable. At least one strength member may be adjacent to and/or attached to the holding member to provide additional protection for the optic fiber.

Abstract:

An electrical cable having a holding member arranged within the cable for an optic fiber, which can be used for temperature sensing and/or communications. The holding member can replace one or more strands of the cable, be placed inside an interstice of the cable, be placed in between various layers of the cable, or placed in the jacket of the cable. If desired a strength member may be adjacent to and/or attached to the holding member to provide additional protection for the optic fiber. The cable can be produced through the addition of a planetary strander device to a wire assembly apparatus.

International Classification:

G02B006/44

US Classification:

385101000

Abstract:

An electrical cable having a holding member arranged longitudinally along the cable for an optic fiber, which can be used for temperature sensing and/or communications. The holding member can replace one or more strands of the cable, be placed inside an interstice of the cable, be placed in between various layers of the cable, or placed in the jacket of the cable. The cable can be produced through the addition of a planetary strander device to a wire assembly apparatus.

Appl. No.:

8/087305

Inventors:

Eugene T. Sanders - Carrollton GA

Assignee:

Southwire Company - Carrollton GA

International Classification:

H01B 508
D02G 336
D07B 106

US Classification:

174129R

Abstract:

A method of manufacture and a resultant cable structure of elliptical stranded cable which optimizes the use of existing conventional stranding machines. In accordance with the present invention, one or more layers of shaped, non-circular, wires are interposed to provide support between the inner core of substantially round wires each having essentially the same diameter and the outer layer of round wires of different diameters, which outer layer includes round wires of different diameters which are arranged to provide the minor and major axes of the elliptical cable. The shaped wires are preferably trapezoidal in shape. Alternatively, the shaped wires may be arcuately shaped elliptical wires subtending an angle determined by dividing 360. degree. by the number of shaped wires (for example, 30. degree. for a twelve wire layer) and having an aspect ratio (ratio of major axis X dimension to minor axis Y dimension) sufficient to provide support between the inner core and outer layer of round wires.

Assignee:

Southwire Company - Carrollton GA

International Classification:

B66F 919

US Classification:

414422

Abstract:

An improved apparatus for collecting, storing, transporting and dumping cropped (cut) sections of continuously cast bar. The present invention is embodied in a dumpable crop bar container generally comprising a yoke and rear stanchion assembly surrounding and pivotally attached to a receptacle and front stanchion assembly by an axle and sleeve assembly. A conventional forklift is used to transport the present invention and to discharge collected crop bar from it. The forklift pushes the front stanchions against a stationary curb, forcing them to pivot inward and upward on the axle which cause the receptacle rigidly affixed thereto to pivot upward and outward. The base of the receptacle pivots to almost vertical and all of the crop bar is dumped out. As the fork lift backs away from the stationary curb, the weight of the receptacle and front stanchion assembly returns it to its original position.

Inventors:

Eugene T. Sanders - Carrollton GA

Assignee:

Southwire Company - Carrollton GA

International Classification:

B21F 700

US Classification:

72248

Abstract:

A method and an apparatus for the high speed shaping of wires to be used to make a compact stranded cable are disclosed. A plurality of roll pairs for shaping the cross section of a wire in a peripheral groove are mounted to the layhead of a strander apparatus. The rolls of each pair are supported on axles, the axes of which are maintained parallel to each other. At least one of the rolls of each pair is mounted on an axle which is parallelly adjustable toward and away from the other axle. A single adjustment screw is provided for urging the adjustable axle in a direction to engage the peripheries of the rolls.
