ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and process for longitudinally encapsulating a bundle of aligned fibers within an elastomeric tube of smaller diameter than the normal diameter of the bundle in which: the tube is confined within a tubular inner channel of an openable casing, the diameter of the casing being at least as large as the normal diameter of the bundle; the ends of the tube are slipped over nipples at each end of the channel; air is pressured into the tube via one of the nipples thereby expanding the tube outwardly against the channel wall; the bundle of fibers is drawn through one of the nipples into the expanded tube; and the tube is depressurized to permit it to contract radially about the bundle of fibers.
