Description

ABSTRACT:
Wraps to hold line guides on a fisherman's rod are formed as sleeve-like units by the embedment of a length of wound thread in a clear, elastomeric plastic resin, or by forming a cylindrical sleeve of elastic plastic resins. The sleeve-like wraps are expanded in diameter by an expanding tool and then chilled, or "frozen" to remain in an expanded state after the expanding tool is removed, and while expanded, the wraps are fitted onto a fishing rod and over the feet of line guides on the rod. Thereafter, warming of the frozen wraps to ambient temperatures permits them to contract to their original size to fit tightly upon the rod. A turret type of apparatus including expanders is provided to receive, expand, freeze and permit removal of the expanded wraps from the expanders for production assembly operations. An extrusion type of apparatus is provided to form wraps by winding thread such as nylon upon an inner sleeve of plastic and thereafter, embedding the thread in an outer sleeve of plastic as a continuous operation.
