Abstract

The invention provides a novel and improved method for manufacturing an elongated piece of a composite body composed of a rubber or plastic body of an elongated form and a plurality of electroconductive linear bodies embedded in or bonded on the surface of the elongated rubber or plastic body in alignment, each of the linear bodies extending in the transverse direction of the elongated body in substantial parallelism with each other and being in a curved, bent or corrugated form useful as a connector, electromagnetic shielding gasket and the like. Different from conventional known methods, the invention proposes a method in which the linear bodies are first integrated with the sheet of rubber or plastic followed by corrugating the linear bodies together with the sheet and chopping of the thus corrugated composite body into pieces in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the linear bodies.
