ABSTRACT:
A method for manufacturing a self-closing tubular belt with predetermined compression forces at a longitudinal joint comprises winding a plastic material onto a small mandrel such that the plastic material thickness is not more than the height of a mandrel spiral rib, curing the plastic material, and removing the plastic material from the small mandrel, resulting in the plastic material being in a form of a spiral rubber spring having gaps between its twists. The resultant rubber spring is then wound on a larger mandrel thereby forming winding gaps. These winding gaps are then filled with a raw filler material, and these are processed so that all turns of the rubber spring are joined together monolithically. This is removed from the mandrel by making a longitudinal split in the spring, producing the tubular belt having prestressed regions formed by the spring, and resisting portions formed by the filler material.
