    Abstract: A parison tube former utilizes a radial compression heater to heat a very specific portion of a preform tube for stretching. The heater has a plurality of compression dies that form a central cavity for receiving the preform tube. The working surfaces of the compression dies close down onto the outer surface of the preform tube to heat the tube via conduction, which more accurately and precisely heats the preform tube. A first stretched portion of the preform tube is produced by stretching the preform tube after heating. A second portion of the preform tube is then located within the central cavity and is also heated by the radial compression heater and stretched to produce a second stretched portion of the preform tube and an unexpanded portion of the preform tube, or balloon portion of the parison tube.

    Abstract: Provided is a mesh-patterned resin molded product (10) used for encasing and protecting a hollow piping member provided in a vehicle or a small ship. The mesh-patterned resin molded product (10), in a case of an ordinary state where no load is applied to the mesh-patterned resin molded product (10), includes a plurality of first resin wired portions (11) that extend parallel to each other, and a plurality of second resin wired portions (12) that extend parallel to each other in a direction respectively intersecting the first resin wired portions (11). Each of the first resin wired portions (11) and each of the second resin wired portions (12) are joined to each other on a joint portion (13) positioned at a mutual intersection portion. At the intersection portion, a direction passing through both axial centers of the first resin wired portion (11) and the second resin wired portion (12) and being orthogonal to both the axial centers is set as an orthographic projection direction P. When the first resin wired portion (11) and the second resin wired portion (12) are viewed in the orthographic projection direction P, a second surface area that is a surface area of the joint portion (13) between the first resin wired portion (11) and the second resin wired portion (12) is smaller than a first surface area that is an overlapping surface area between the first resin wired portion (11) and the second resin wired portion (12). The plurality of first resin wired portions (11) and the plurality of second resin wired portions (12) are formed of a material including a thermoplastic resin.

    Abstract: A tool operable to expand an end of a pipe is disclosed. The tool has a longitudinal axis and a vertical axis. The tool includes a working end disposed at a distal end along the longitudinal axis. This working end includes a plurality of jaws movable between a closed position and an expanded position and rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the tool. Further, the tool includes a main body connected to the working end. This main body includes a handle disposed at a proximal end along the vertical axis of the tool, wherein the handle is configured to be gripped in an orientation that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tool. Further, the tool includes a trigger disposed on the handle, and the trigger is configured to be activated by trigger movement along the vertical axis of the tool.

    Abstract: A method of making an ePTFE tubular structure includes the steps of (a) forming a tube of polytetrafluoroethylene; (b) longitudinally stretching the polytetrafluoroethylene tube to form an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene tube, where the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene tube includes fibrils oriented in a longitudinal direction of the tube and nodes oriented in a circumferential direction of the tube; and (c) placing the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene tube circumferentially exterior to a longitudinal foreshortening and radially expanding mechanism, where radial pressure from the foreshortening mechanism radially expands the ePTFE tubular structure and reorients the fibrils non-longitudinally.
