Abstract
Abstract A method of molding a tubular laminate comprising joining flows of a plurality of thermoplasticized resins together to prepare a laminated composite flow having two side edges, and then passing the composite flow having two side edges through an annular extrusion die to abut both side edges of the respective layers to each other in the die, thereby forming an integrated tubular flow.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A method of molding a tubular laminate, wherein a plurality of flow of thermoplasticized resin are caused to come together at a joining point to prepare a laminated composite flow having a plurality of layers and two side edges, and said composite flow is passed through an annular extrusion die so that said side edges come to abut within said die, thereby forming an integrated tubular flow, characterized in that at least one layer in said composite flow has a lower viscosity than the other layer(s) and said layer of the lower viscosity is formed into a convex cross sectional shape in the preparation step of said composite flow.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
109 words
A method of molding a tubular laminate, wherein a plurality of flow of thermoplasticized resin are caused to come together at a joining point to prepare a laminated composite flow having a plurality of layers and two side edges, and said composite flow is passed through an annular extrusion die so that said side edges come to abut within said die, thereby forming an integrated tubular flow, characterized in that at least one layer in said composite flow has a lower viscosity than the other layer(s) and said layer of the lower viscosity is formed into a convex cross sectional shape in the preparation step of said composite flow.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein said flows of thermoplasticized resins are caused to come together in an adaptor disposed upstream of said annular extrusion die and provided with a plurality of inlet passages which meet to a single outlet passage.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said composite flow is substantially flat prior to its insertion into said extrusion die.
