Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0048571A2] A novel pencil core (20) constituted by a plurality of filaments (10) of a pencil core material (2) individually having a thickness of 10 to 250 microns, and bundled and joined together with a binder material (13). Such a pencil core (20) is manufactured by (a) producing a semi-soft core material (2) of graphite and a synthetic resin, (b) extruding said core material (2) through nozzles (4) to produce a plurality of filaments (10), bundling said filaments (10) together in a ring (7b) into which is forced a binder material (13) by a screw-feed device (7c-7m) to encase the filaments, and (d) compressing the bundled and encased filaments (10) between rolls (9a, 9b) to produce the finished pencil core (20). Heat-treatment is provided by various heaters 6a, 6b, 8).
