process for the manufacture of flexible elements filiformi particularly elements of transmission for control cable and flexible flexible element can be obtained with this process

摘要

A cable is formed comprising a filiform core (2) and at least one outer ring of wires (3, 4) arranged around the core in an array constituted, in alternating sequence, by first wires (3) and second wires (4) having a greater diameter than the first wires. The cable thus formed is then subjected to radial compression carried out, for example, by means of hammering, which causes plastic deformation of the second wires (4) until a cylindrical filiform element (1) of substantially constant diameter is obtained, from the cable. The preferred application is in the manufacture of transmission elements for flexible control cables intended to operate in tension and, particularly, in compression.
