ABSTRACT:
A process for forming flexible cutting line for use in rotary vegetation trimmers of the type having two or more monofilament lines mounted on a common spool. The line produced by the process of the present invention defines two monofilament strands joined together in a side-by-side relationship by a severable bond. Each strand defines a plurality of circumferentially spaced and outwardly projecting vegetation cutting edges thereon, two of the edges on one of the strands being in parallel contact with two of the edges on the other strand so as to define a pair of parallel readily severable welds bonding the strands together in a side-by-side disposition. The line forming process includes the steps of extruding the strands such that two of the edges on one strand are in proximate disposition and opposed parallel alignment with two of the edges on the other strand, directing the extruding strands together in edge-to-edge parallel contact along the opposed edges such that an enclosed space is defined between the strands so that the heat in the strands can create a positive pressure in the enclosed area to prevent inseparable fusion of the strands. The strands are then directed in edge-to-edge contact into a cooling quench bath, and pulled through the bath to effect crystallization and bonding together of the strands in an adjacent disposition along two readily severable parallel welds defined by the contacting edges.
