ABSTRACT:
A device and method for producing a tube comprises a rotatable mandrel over which the tube is formed and an extruder alongside the mandrel having a nozzle which extrudes a supporting material having a hollow portion onto the mandrel at a selected angle in a manner to form a continuously helically wound strip on the mandrel as the mandrel is rotated and the mandrel and the extruder are moved relatively in respect to the longitudinal axis of the tube. A supply of a profiled material such as a tubular reinforcement is provided alongside the mandrel and advantageously comprises a reel supply over which the tube is wound and which is connected through a feeder in the form of upper and lower rollers which engage the profiled material and feed it through the extruder into association with the supporting material and into the hollow portion thereof. In accordance with the method of the invention, the feeder operates to provide a positive feeding of the profiled material into the extruder so that it may be combined with the supporting material and fed without tension onto the mandrel as the mandrel is rotated.
