Abstract
A method of producing a composite insulator having a sheath and shed portions molded around a core rod, grasping metal fittings engagingly fitted and fixed at both end portions of the core rod, the sheath covering the core rod between the grasping metal fittings on the whole circumference of the core rod, and a plurality of shed portions extruding radially outwardly from the sheath at plural positions spaced from each other in the longitudinal direction of the core rod, by filling an insulative high molecular material and subsequent vulcanization thereof in the cavity of molding die portions. The methods includes positioning and retaining the core rod at a desired position in the cavity of the molding die portions by means of retaining rings engagingly fitted on the grasping metal fittings and allowing an excess portion of the insulative high molecular material filled in the cavity to flow out to the exterior of the cavity between the grasping metal fittings and the retaining rings.
